A very cool and simple way to save your Kuler color themes to the Mac
Thomas in Germany reminded me of a very cool plug-in for Mac OSX called Mondrianum from Lithoglyph. Mondrianum is a plug-in that makes it easy to save your Kuler themes and search all Kuler themes right inside PowerPoint or Keynote or any other app on your Mac. Once the free plug-in is installed it acts like a built-in, system-wide color picker, available in any Mac application that supports this feature. This plug-in absolutely made my week — totally awesome! (What's Kuler? I talked about it here a few days ago.)
Above: After you install the plug-in you'll notice a new option on the upper right of your color inspector. As long as you have an internet connection you can search the entire Kuler community of public themes. In the screenshot above, I searched all the color themes that I created in Kuler from photographs by searching for my user name — you can search by user name or idea, concept, season, whatever...
Above: Here I am saving the theme to the system-wide color picker so that I can have access to it even when not online. It is easy to created themes in Kuler and then save them to Mac so you can access them anytime.
Above: Here is the color scheme now from within iWork. You can rename the colors or theme at this time as well.
Above: You can search by any keyword you like or by a user's name if you happen to fancy someone's particular themes.
If you are using Kuler, then you must have the Mondrianum plug-in. Amazingly simple and powerful. I assume there is something this easy for the PC as well? If so, can you please let me know of any plug-in for the PC that will integrate Kuler with your system color picker? I will post the link here. Mondrianumhttp://www.lithoglyph.com/mondrianum/
