Mantra: Google indexed purity.
Tagline: Where MD space: 256 hues x 2 stroke & fill = one integer.
wmd_tinyMD is the simple low-level color manager for straightforward use cases. It operates in both RGB and MD (Material Design) indexed color space, providing consistency and design flexibility for your 4D projects. Localized in EN, FR, ES, DE.

Starting with 4D v21, the recommended way to install wmd_tinyMD (and any ogTools component) is through the Dependencies Manager using the GitHub repository:
- In your 4D project, open the Dependencies Manager (
Project > Dependencies). - Click the
+button and select Add a dependency from a Git URL. - Enter the following Git URL:
protee/wmd_tinyMD - Choose the desired version (e.g.,
main,latest, or a specific release tag). - Confirm the installation – the component will be automatically fetched from GitHub, placed in the
Componentsfolder, and linked to your project.
Note: For team development, commit the dependency configuration file (
dependencies.json) to your source control so all team members automatically fetch the same version from GitHub.
