Ok, I know that for themed pets you can go into the generator and find them, and play with them... this is a suggestion for those random colored wild, created or bred pets that you already have, and want to recolor or possibly change a gene or mutation to. I would love to see a button under the colors that said something like "edit colors/mutations", which when clicked loaded the colors and specs of the pet you just clicked from, into the generator. That way you could start from exactly the same colors as the pet, and play around with just changing one color (or genes, etc).
I'm guessing there are some that know how to do this from copying and pasting the code (I don't, and would love an explanation on how to do this if it's possible?), but it would be nice to have a button that would allow you to do that simply and easily.
And if I can take it one step further... I would love even further a button on the generator when you are looking at a specific pet, that would say something like "use dyes/mutators to save changes" and when clicked, would prompt you with how many dyes/mutes you would need to make the edited changes (for example, if you have changed three colors, it would ask you for three dyes). Make it simple and easy.
And please don't say this is too much of a game changer... for me, I hate using the dyes cause the whole thing is just plain confusing to me, and I would be more likely to use greater mutators to add mutations if I could play around with them to see which ones I really want to use. I can do that with the themes that are pre-loaded into the generator, but not with wild caught or randomly bred sylesti. Anything that gets more people to actually use the dyes and muts I would think would be a good thing.

You can easily load any sylesti with its exact colours and current genes/mutations in the generator by right clicking the picture of the sylesti in question, clicking 'Copy Image Location', then going to the generator and clicking the button at the bottom that says 'Load Design by URL' and pasting the URL you got from the image in there and pressing 'Load Design'.
As for the idea about making lots of changes, then having 'use dyes/mutators', well.... you can only use one mutator, so that part likely wouldn't be much help. As for the dyes part.... well, it's coming rather close to the game playing itself for you. I'm sure if you asked for a tutorial on how to dye certain parts, someone wouldn't mind making a pictorial tutorial for you. Once you see how it works, you'll see it's really not that difficult ^.^ I think it's probably just not having done it much before that's making it confusing.

No support for this I'm afraid - I think this button would just confuse people who would think it would allow them to edit colours and traits from the page for free. Plus honestly it's extra clutter we really don't need when it's already simple enough to use the generator.
There is already a super easy function to load pets into the generator from the URL, and although the generator does explain this it's literally
right click on pet image > copy image URL > click the "load from URL" button in the generator > paste the URL
