Noguchi Bonus Pack

It looks like the concept of the Noguchi shelf really resounded with folk. I'm pleased that so many readers have been inspired to tack Noguchi shelves onto their own Tinderboxen journals. Here are two extra bonuses for those implementing their Noguchi shelving.

Sandy Showcase

Sandy is the award-winning color set I used in my Noguchi shelf. Here is Sandy's complete tonal range.

To see the Sandy Showcase on your own computer, feel free to download the Sandy Showcase Tinderbox file.

 

Alternative Color Historization Schemes

And here are a few extra suggestions for potential color historization using Sandy.

You place these code snippets in the NoguchiShelfItem prototype's Rule.

Distinct Breaks

if ($Modified>"today-1 hour") {$Color="7"}
else {if ($Modified>"yesterday") {$Color="6"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-7") {$Color="3"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-30") {$Color="2"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-90") {$Color="1"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-1 year") {$Color="4"}
else {$Color="5"}}}}}};

Subtle Transitions

if ($Modified>"today-1 hour") {$Color="7"}
else {if ($Modified>"yesterday") {$Color="light 7"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-7") {$Color="lighter 7"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-30") {$Color="lightest 7"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-90") {$Color="lightest 4"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-1 year") {$Color="lighter 4"}
else {$Color="light 4"}}}}}};

Subtle Transitions, Single Tone (6)

if ($Modified>"today-1 hour") {$Color="darkest 6"}
else {if ($Modified>"yesterday") {$Color="darker 6"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-7") {$Color="dark 6"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-30") {$Color="6"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-90") {$Color="light 6"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-1 year") {$Color="lighter 6"}
else {$Color="lightest 6"}}}}}};

Subtle Transitions, Single Tone (7)

if ($Modified>"today-1 hour") {$Color="darkest 7"}
else {if ($Modified>"yesterday") {$Color="dark 7"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-7") {$Color="7"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-30") {$Color="light 7"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-90") {$Color="lighter 7"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-1 year") {$Color="lightest 7"}
else {$Color="lightest 1"}}}}}};

Subtle Transitions, Single Tone (8)

if ($Modified>"today-1 hour") {$Color="darkest 8"}
else {if ($Modified>"yesterday") {$Color="darker 8"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-7") {$Color="dark 8"}
else {if ($Modified>"today-30") {$Color="8"}

To install this into Tinderbox:
1. Download the color palette.
2. Unzip it.
3. Drag the Sandy.tbc file into the map of any Tinderbox document.

And it's now installed. Check out the colors by opening the Rename dialog.
