AutoConnect menu colorizing

You can easily change the color of the AutoConnect menu. Menu colors can be changed statically by the AutoConnect menu color definition determined at compile time. You cannot change the color while the sketch is running.

The menu color scheme has been separated to AutoConnectLabels.h placed the AutoConnect library folder.1 You can change the color scheme of the menu with the following three color codes. The color code also accepts CSS standard color names.2

In AutoConnectLabels.h you can find three definition macros for menu colors:

  • #define AUTOCONNECT_MENUCOLOR_TEXT
    Defines the menu text color.

  • #define AUTOCONNECT_MENUCOLOR_BACKGROUND
    Defines the menu background color.

  • #define AUTOCONNECT_MENUCOLOR_ACTIVE
    Defines the active menu item background color.
