TerminalGuiDesigner 1.0.16 - ColorScheme and multi selection property setting

[tznind]

TerminalGuiDesigner 1.0.16 is out and the big feature is support for designing ColorSchemes.

ColorSchemes are composed of 5 color pairs (foreground/background). Each pair represent a state for the view (whether it is selected or not, the shortcut key etc). I've added 3 defaults (which are only serialized in code generation if used) but you can also add your own (see below).

ColorSchemes editing supports undo/redo and inheritence (setting ColorScheme on a container will apply to all children).

TerminalGuiDesigner 1.0.16 ColorScheme demo

Color Scheme States are:

Name	Description
Normal	The normal colors to use when rendering the control
HotNormal	The color to use for shortcut symbols or prominent areas of the control (e.g. list view selected item when not focused)
Focus	As Normal but when the View has input focus
HotFocus	As HotNormal but when the View has input focus
Disabled	The colors to use when the View is disabled

Changelog for 1.0.16

• Support for designing ColorSchemes
• Ability to update the same field on multiple selected Views at once (e.g. set all width to 10)
• Selection color (defaults to green) is now applied to single selections (e.g. tab/mouse selection). Previously this scheme was only used for multi selection
• Lower right status text now shows when there is an ongoing multi selection (e.g. 'Selected: 3 objects')
• Fixed new FrameView instances being created with Text instead of Title set
• Added DrawMarginFrame as a designable property on Window allowing for removing Border from root view if desired
• Multi Copy/paste now preserves/maps PosRelative (e.g. view1.X = Pos.Right(otherView)) when all referenced views are in the copy/paste collection
