Subject: [PATCH 1/5] gitk: set intitial colors of swatches using the available helper
Date: Thu, 06 Aug 2026 06:40:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ab16ec6276e448db3c8150e58e2f08d137317198.1785998419.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2194.git.1785998419.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
After the user has selected a color in the Preferences dialog, the
helper proc prefspage_set_colorswatches is used update the colors shown
in the Preferences dialog. Use this proc also after the Preferences
dialog is constructed to show the initial colors. This keeps the
procedure that gives the UI elements their colors in a single place.
