You’re are totally right. I use this oftenish. It helps keeping colour scheme in check, quickly iterate through different looks or even recolour the entire UI.
Example usage:
- disable Inherit it in the root element, set it to some colour
- enable Tint’s Inherit it in the child
Foreground color of the root will now override child’s tint.
Imagine having 20 elements in sub-menus, rather than changing all of them, have them inherit Foreground Color from something above them in the hierarchy. Can be pretty nifty at times.
One note here, it does not work on User Widgets. In this case, you can use Content Color of the parent.
