To migrate your Color Palette Pocket palettes to Colorony, click "EXPORT" in Color Palette Pocket's settings and "Import Color Palette Pocket palettes from clipboard" in Colorony's settings.

=================

Minimal app for storing color palettes in hexadecimal format and keep them synced across computers. By default, it floats on top of all windows and is usable at a very small size. This makes it very handy if you need to do a lot of pasting of colors into apps that don't have a palette manager.

Colors can be edited by double-clicking:

  • #FFFFFF or FFFFFF (# is optional)
  • ABC becomes #AABBCC
  • AB becomes #AAABBB
  • A becomes #AAAAAA
  • Leave it blank in order to remove the color.

ForceCORS is a Google Chrome extension which allows you to selectively apply CORS Headers to any web server responses you choose. This is extremely helpful when developing a web application that makes Ajax/XHR requests.

The extension requires you to specify the domains that you wish to monitor and allows you to explicitly define the headers to be added. This is preferable to completely disabling XHR security in your browser, which is a big security hole.

Regarding Permissions In order to allow you to append headers to ANY arbitrary location, this extension requires access to intercept ANY web request. However, by default the extension does NOT monitor any web traffic. Only URLs you specifically whitelist will be read by the extension, and only headers that YOU specify will be appended.

Note: Headers added by this extension will not appear in the DevTools "Network" panel due to a known Chrome bug: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=258064
