nikivi Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Since Alfred allows to colour workflow objects to many colours, I wonder if anyone actually use this feature to somehow separate objects in some way. Perhaps by group or some kind of category or meaning. I know I am curious about this as I never actually added any colours in my workflows, only notes. I was inspired to ask this question from @deanishe's Safari Assistant workflow as I saw he used colours to neatly group certain workflow objects together that I found quite cool. Anyone else does something similar? Would love to hear your thoughts/reasoning on it. Edited April 21, 2018 by nikivi Link to comment
vitor Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 OneUpdater is the only place where I’ve added a colour, and my criteria for picking that particular one was “the colour I think people are less likely to use in their own Workflows, so it doesn’t clash with their choices”. Since OneUpdater is supposed to be a (mostly) drop-in solution that you can get rid of by deleting its node, I wanted to make it clear which one it was. Looking at the colours again, I find all of them quite ugly and not very colour-blind-friendly. I wonder how they were picked. Maybe it’s a default selection from macOS. But now that I think about, since colour also affects the connection line, I should use it in cases where connections are a bit tangled. From this: To (something like) this: Link to comment
nikivi Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) I started to colour Alfred objects that have errors in them and need to be fixed in red colour. A kind of TODO but without actually writing TODO in a note or anywhere. I also made a KM macro to quickly do the colouring of the object so I don't have to do it manually: It helps me quite a bit.
