Set colors for all charts in the vault

[ShahriarKh]

What's your feature?

Currently, changing colors in settings only works for charts created after that. It will be really cool if the plugin supports a way to have "global" color settings, so new colors are applied to all charts in the vault.

Any related problems?

The colors are applied every time the HTML for a plot is rerendered. AFAIK this also happens when you reopen obsidian. I haven't found a better way to rerender all plots, although you are welcome to add one if you find it.

Well, I didn't notice that reopening obsidian causes colors to be updated! So, the functionality is already there; we just need to find a way to force re-render plots after saving the settings (I don't know how Obsidian handles this), or at least change the save message a little bit and tell users to "re-open obsidian to apply changes".

Obsidian renders the code block via the handler function the plugin provided, and then spits out the html into a prepared div. I can't imagine the result is persistent between sessions so it would have to rerender the code block. Changing the message would be the only possible solution I could think of...

I see. At least for now, a helpful message is better than nothing.
