SIXEY.ES' vcvrack cable color theme generator
Hi! If you can find the
settings.json-file that vcvrack stores settings in, you can copy paste a lot of colors at once. This "app" is a way to create a theme with maybe some certain aesthetic you like or some semantic you want to express anyuway.
***
For windows the file seems to be at
C:\Users\you\AppData\Local\Rack2\settings.json, at the time of writing. In it, search for
cableColors and replace in the json with the output below... while adhering to json syntax of course...

Random look backin time
here is that.

Ok but seriously how to use this
On its own its basically a shitty palette generator. Those exist already.
This one just gives the output in a format that can be copy-pasted directly into the VCV Rack 2 `settings.json`, because that's what i'm into these days. I guess the real trouble is locating the file.
The final output from the generator is the leftmost text that starts with "cableColors". It is a snippet of json, a list definition of colors represented as hex codes. Replace the relevant lines in the vcvrack json with this, start VCVRACK, and there's your palette as the cable colors.
