This is really nice and a fantastic implementation of contact list menus. Might have to implement some similar ideas into my ChromaKey shortcut

Cant wait to see it, I dont need it, but I just realised you can add other variables eg hex/rgb values/css name into the phone/address fields and pull them out quite easily from the selected item. Might be useful.

I tried setting a hex value but only the numeric keyboard is available for input? I'm probably missing something obvious, but you need alphanumeric characters for hex values, surely? Well done - damn some people are clever

Sorry does seem to be an error, possibly due to the update today. Hope you'll forgive me for waiting till tomorrow to looking further into as have a few things on tonight, it being NYE and all. Maybe rollback to an earlier version in the meantime. Happy New Year.

Hey! A really nice feature for custom contact lists would be an option for a transparent background! To do that you would only need to get the icon with a black background and white foreground and then use this black-white image as the alpha mask in the _Mask Image_ action on the real icon. The dark parts of the mask set the opacity to 0 and the bright set it to 255

Hi, thanks. I'll have a look at/think about this, sounds good, but not sure it how it works for colour icons and this is more a general icon tool than a contact list icon tool. Menu builder already has all the fa solid icons available as bw transparent pngs selectable from a b64 zip, (although I wish I'd made them system blue).

@schl3ck

Hey! I've updated your shortcut with my suggestion and I've fixed the wrong order of actions for the Check for Update shortcut integration ;) Also there are some comments that explain what it does https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/5b6c637ddb774e21a3439ba03dd34f6b Other than that, this is a really great shortcut! Thanks!
Reply · 1 year, 7 months ago

@entee Author

Thanks but I still need to have a look/think about it it's not the method I have to think about it's how it sits in the wider Shortcut. For example how does the user choose transparent, background is the obvious place but causes a few issues, how does it deal with white icons, no use for contacts but Shortcut does other types of icons.
Reply · 1 year, 7 months ago

@entee Author

The if .. else means no icon previews are generated, and the masking needs a preview icon so it would mean icon couldnt be changed once transparency set. Pretty sure I know which way I'd resolve most of these, but still just want to think about it for a bit. Thanks again.

and Id have to handle the 2 x color menus differently, I'm really not sure if I want to do much more without a complete rewrite to modules, its something that started small and just got too big and showy as I used it to try different things out. Anyway have added overlays method to menu builder in the meantime.

IOS13 beta2 can not retrieve iCloud files and create folders, will report an error, China is like this, other areas can be used?
Reply · 1 year, 3 months ago

@entee Author

It's only some people it's not working for, I'm on dev beta 2 and although I got the error to begin with it works for me. There's nothing to suggest it's restricted to certain countries as far as I know.

@zhaozhiyongasam

I am also the developer version of the installation, but at present, none of the known installations can call the iCloud file, but can only browse it manually. Maybe this is a special care.

Well yours has a better processor and the same amount of RAM so that wont be the issue. Im on 13.2 as well, btw. Only thing I can suggest is trying after a restart.

This is an amazing shortcut. Any idea why it would be flipping my image upside down? https://imgur.com/a/IOLht7z
Reply · 11 months, 1 week ago

@entee Author

Thanks Unfortunately there is a bug in shortcuts 13.2.x versions so far that flips the icon, and fixing it would break it for people on earlier versions of iOS

There is some bug so I can’t download The shortcut because the Shortcut app freezes when I scroll through the actions. It started after the latest iOS-13 update...

@ShortcutMaker1123

Never mind the bug was still there, no doubt
Reply · 3 months, 3 weeks ago

@entee Author

You can try this https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/70fef82e6fca45bfa699b128041f4b09 It will still freeze, but it may freeze for shorter periods of time. I have seen freezes recover, after 30/60 secs Occasionally. What hardware are you using?

I'm confused. You said the bug was you cant download, but you say it works but the bug is still there?
Reply · 3 months, 1 week ago

@ShortcutMaker1123

The bug was that the shortcuts app froze, then force exited. I tried multiple times, and finally, it let me scroll to the bottom of the script and add “untrusted shortcut”

@cubesugar

Thank you for making this amazing shortcut! But when I apply the icon to the home screen, the white frame is made. In this way. https://vo.la/NrZ7O How can I make the background as a square, not a rounded square?
Reply · 2 weeks ago

@entee Author

You could try making a rounded rectangle with no corner radius.

In version 5.11, all the background I made comes in white.

I just tried with the icon type and it worked ok. Do you mean with transparent icons when exporting as vcards? vcards transparency is broken in iOS currently
