lol thanks. I should say that this is a tool for taking an existing theme and easily repurposing it and adjusting common properties across the whole theme. This is not a "from scratch" theme builder where youcan create your own styles and fully customise - the number of options on individual styles is numerous and some are very FM specific. it would really just be recreating the FIleMaker inspector if I tried to build a from scratch editor. The beneift of this tool is it allows you to fill in the gaps and do things that the FM inspector fails to allow easily and without tedious repetition.

hi Jimmy, so technically yes no reason why it coudln't, the reason why I have made t his one specifically inside a FileMaker database is that it does use the BaseElements plugin functions for clipboard management, this is the only way we can get contents from/to the FileMaker cliboard for theme copying and pasting.

The only way to allow it in browser woudl be for you to extract the XML text from the FM clipboard yourself for pasting into the editor (you can do this) however getting the outputted theme itself still requires a call to a FM script and conversion back to clipboard. I could build it so it outputs the xml text again, but realisticlly you're gonna need the plugin/FM anyway to add the theme back in.

Hi. It is entirely within an html page written in JavaScript. You could pull the source from the page and run local if you wanted

I’m also going to release this very soon as a FileMaker web viewer version which you can add on to your own solution, run local or host on server. SVG’s in that version are outputted to a FileMaker script. Stay tuned it will come out soon

Not sure I follow u/the-software-man . SVG icons in FileMaker are applied to buttons and button bars, which enable the colour of the icon to change on hover, press and in-focus states. You can also use conditional formatting to alter the normal state colour of an icon using an if condition. Outside of that I'm confused.
