Disabled Blocks Pattern Colour Selection

[asanzo]

Problem statement

• Bug report
• Feature request

Expected Behavior

It'd be nice to be able to change the colour of the pattern in the disabled blocks.

In order to be able to do something like this:

Blockly.Msg.DISABLED_BACKGROUND_HUE = 0;
Blockly.Msg.DISABLED_PATTERN_HUE = 60;

Actual Behavior

In some applications, the resultant colour of the disabled blocks makes the blocks difficult to see, or distinguish the borders and even read the labels:

Steps to Reproduce

Just make a block disabled

Stack Traces

Probably the line to modify should be around here

Thanks in advance for any respose :)

Note that you can easily override the look of disabled blocks with CSS. For example:

.blocklyDisabled>.blocklyPath {
fill: #f00;
}

Closing as the CSS approach is the recommended way to do this. The --blocklyDisabledPattern CSS variable can also be overridden to reference a completely different SVG pattern for deeper control.
