#TEXT COLOR UI UPDATE#

Instead, they had to add a text color to any blocks within the group. When using the group block in the past, end-users could not apply a text color to every sub-element of the group block. The Gutenberg team once again cleans up one of my biggest gripes.

Group Block Gets Text Color Control Changing the text color for an entire group. Theme authors should keep an eye on the development of this feature and offer feedback. Global styles would allow themes to set default colors, typographical settings, and potentially more. The team also launched an early, experimental mechanism for handling global styles, a feature that may be complete this year. The experience is slowly getting better, but it still doesn’t feel ready for production. Work toward the navigation block continues.

The update includes over two dozen bug fixes and several enhancements. This is not a significant reduction, but every improvement helps. When tested against a post with approximately 36,000 words and 1,000 blocks, page load speeds dropped from 5.461s to 5.037s and keypress events from 34.63ms to 34.54ms. For developers, the team introduced a script for launching a block plugin from the command line.Īfter a dramatic increase in speed in the last update, version 7.4 continues down the same path. The update includes a few user-facing features: a text color control for the group block, background-color control for the columns block, and a new link UI for rich text components.

The Gutenberg development team launched version 7.4 of the plugin yesterday.
