Hey all,

Not sure if this has been done before, if so, damn.

Today I was getting a bit fed up trying to match colours when I wanted to create the awesome 'Fire' effect, so I decided to arrange my colours a bit better.


This is purely cosmetic and will create no additional functionality to the wonderful cacti.
I take no responsibility for these instructions, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK :p (always wanted to say that)



1. With PHPMyAdmin, drop the table 'colors' and import the new colors.sql

With your favourite editor (php expert editor).

2. Open "color.php" located in your cacti root.


Change Line 131:


From This:

Code:
$color_list = db_fetch_assoc("select * from colors order by hex");


To This:

Code:
$color_list = db_fetch_assoc("select * from colors order by id");




3 . Open "html_form.php" located in in "/cacti/lib"


Change line 370:


From This:

Code:
$colors_list = db_fetch_assoc("select id,hex from colors order by hex desc");


To This:

Code:
$colors_list = db_fetch_assoc("select id,hex from colors order by id"); 



Make sure you update your Graph Templates with your new colours


Here are some screen shots showing you what I mean.

Oooooooooo, I like...

Never really paid that close attention to the colors, but often wondered why they where so mixed up.

Btw, if some removes or adds colors, you will still have problems with the order, because of the ID. I will look, maybe I can talk Ian into just having a big list that is generated automatically, instead of storing it in the database.

The main objective of this was to create all the colours I would need and then import the table repeating the process if I needed to add more colours

I do like your idea, another way is to have the additional id's editable from within Cacti.

If you want - here is the entire WWW safe color set - sorted by hue. This is the SQL code that I imported.

I've implemented the 327 color list from this thread ( with the sorting ), but you can't read the hex on darker colors because of the font color being black.

How can you change the color of the font for the hex number on the color list?
Or is this done through code?


Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
