    Adding Content to Front and Back of Selection

    add a hotkey, and select Action: Pass through to workflow and Argument: Selection in OS X

     

     

    Any way to do this but via a keyword instead of a hotkey? I'm trying to tweak your excellent Case Converter workflow so that I can select some text, then call up Alfred and type "case" and have it drop down a list of my options, or maybe just type "sentence case" (eventually just "se" would do it) to go right to that option. There are only so many hotkeys I can remember…

    I thought I had come up with the minimalistest theme possible, and I was going to post it… until I saw yours and liked it better, so I made the switch. Well done! (I'm using white with 90% opacity)

     

    Lovely! That makes me happy. Enjoy!

     

    I wonder if the blur hack is working again.

    Thanks, Matt! Are you using the original white version? Or black, or one of the flat UI colors?

     

    I've actually been using the flat UI colors. They're more fun. But then I go back to the white and it feels refreshing. :)

    New Workflow and Theme Repository: Packal

    One other thought – the browse page isn't super useful unless you can sort by a couple things (most "popular" – by downloads or views or something, "trending", date).

     

    And it'd be rad if it sorta had a bit of all of these, showing a list in the main column and a sidebar with the ten Most Popular, Top Trending, Most Recent. But that's for version later dot something. :)

     

    Scope creeper. :)

    New Workflow and Theme Repository: Packal

    Excellent! A couple quick thoughts:

     

    • Could you maybe scrape the top 10 or 20 most viewed themes and workflows to get things started? 

    • The detail page for a theme could use some work; how about just showing the screenshots on the page, rather than in thumbnails? And the page could use some layout help in general (I'm an interface designer, so I'm picky on this stuff); if I have time this week upcoming I'll work up a quick comp if that would be helpful.

    • Themes not being updatable is a bummer; I think I'd rather them be file downloads if that somehow makes them updatable (I'm surmising based on: "There are no files to download, and, also, because of that, themes cannot be auto-updated.")

     

    Excellent beta product, for serious!

    These themes look great! Great work!

     

    One note: the serif font used for the subtitle is out of place. Perhaps a sans-serif font (like Helvetica) would be better?

     

    Ack, you're right! That subhead is supposed to be in the same font. I'll fix these up tomorrow. Thanks, and good eye.

    As a followup in "The Minimalist" series to Almost White (far and away the most popular theme in the forums now!) and Almost Black I wanted to do something more colorful, but still very clean, minimalist, and modern.

     

    So here is a suite of themes based on the lovely work over at flatuicolors.com.

    And if you'd like to change the width further, go to the the Theme customizer (call up Alfred, hit cmd-, go to Appearance). Hover your mouse over the border of the Alfred window, where it shows that you'll change the Border Colour. Hold Command and it'll switch to instead change the window width. Click. Click again. It'll cycle back around, or you can also hold Shift to go down a size step.

    Best alfred skin I have ever seen.

    I'd love to have it wider, too. How?

     

    And even with unchecked box "Hide result shortcuts" there are still none. With 8 or more results my eyes can't catch the fifth so fast. I bet they are there, but white! :D

    How 'bout a version with shortcuts?

     

    Louis.

     

     

    Thanks, Louis!

     

    I'm curious if people out there use the shortcuts. It seems so much more clumsy to me, to hold command and hit a number, rather than just down arrow to the entry you want.

     

    To address the two above requests, here's a somewhat wider version with shortcuts on. These changes aren't strictly in the minimalist spirit I'm going for,  so I'm going to leave this version out of the original post. But I hope you guys like it!

    I hadn't even noticed that I lost the blur, but there it is. Here's hoping there's a GUI selector for it (and a theme picker) soon, among the many things the good Alfred folks are working on.
