    Thanks Michael for sharing this plugin with the community. It seems that most of the coding style errors reported above are caused by the fact that you use tabs (instead of fours spaces) to indent the code. Please check the Moodle coding style guide for more details.

    I found no approval blockers during the usability testing and the code review, well done on that. You are cleared to land now, welcome to the Plugins directory!

    Thanks, David! I thought I'd got rid of the whitespace errors - they were caused by a wonky IDE configuration - but I seem to have missed a couple of files. I'll get a fixed version uploaded tomorrow.

    Just noticed a slight error in the included READ.me file. It says to add 'morebackcolours' to the Atto toolbar settings, which will not work. Remove the 'u' in colors so that you have 'morebackcolors' and then it will work okay. Thanks for the plugin!

    Thanks for pointing that out! I've fixed it in the master branch of the code and it'll be in the next release of the plugin.

    Thanks for the handy plugin! How can I set a transparent background color? Sometimes this is very important, but at the moment this seems to be impossible.

    Hello, can you tell us if the plugin will support version 3.6 of Moodle in a near future ?

    Hello Eric,
    No official Moodle 3.6 support is planned, but our initial testing shows that it should work fine. An updated version for Moodle 3.7 will be released this summer.

    Is this Moodle 3.8 ready?

    Hi Ian, it think it should work in Moodle 3.8 but since our release circle is yearly I plan to upgrade this plugin to guarantee Moodle 3.9 support when it is released.

    Hi, please could you update the supported version number for moodle to moodle 4. This means that each week when we update moodle, the extension will automatically install. Currently, you have to install it manually which takes time. Thank you so much.

    Hi Nicolas! Trying very hard to get this plugin to work. It installs but cannot get it to set up properly in 4.3.1+ (Build: 20231215). Comes up with weird pluginname on the plugins list, and when adding "morebackcolors" to the editor setup, no luck. Is there a stable version for this version of Moodle? It's hard to believe that the built in Atto editor background colors are so limited! They are so dark that they actually cover the text!

    Whatever you can do would be teriffic. The morefontcolors plugin is AWESOME!

    Paul
