Change color of Live Preview highlight


I want to change the default highlight color of Brackets' feature Live Preview (which now is blue).

Why? Some presentation related purposes.

I've searched for some extention which allows me to do that and tried to find proper option in brackets preferences, but no luck.

Is it possible (well, I guess nothing is impossible) to achieve this easly? Explanation why yes/no would be very helpful, thanks.

The highlight color is blue now. I need it to be red for example


Solution

  • I had to hack on Brackets a bit - there's no extension that'd allow the things I needed to get done in this question, nor it would be easy to do so.

    LiveDevelopment/Agents/RemoteFunctions.js is the file in which changes had to be made to make color customization possible.

    Currently, there is my PR hanging on Brackets Github repository which allows color customization of live preview (and allows to view margins and paddings live, however this is WIP).
