Custom palettes and colors are already implemented!
I'll look into custom patterns for the ordered dithering at some point for sure as well as it seems like it could just take an input layer selection and use something like Red/Blue/Green/Alpha/Brightness/etc and use the already implemented pattern offset options.
Thank you for your input and I'm glad you're having a good time with PixDither!
How could I miss this button *facepalm*
I will sure make a use of that, no more Colorama pain. Dithering wonders aside, I always wished there would be an option to load palettes from disk to Colorama and colorising composition without "aliasing" mid-tones between each color in palette (as Colorama does, without some crazy tricks). With PixDither loading custom palette + pattern set as 'threshold', this is exactly what I wanted for years :) I already tried it and it works perfectly.
Thanks for such quick reply & being so helpful, Wunkolo!
I used the Dither Plugin, from Josh Nimoy before, unfortunately it's incredibly slow. But it has this nice noise pattern, which pixdither lacks. I tried to recreate this effect myself, but unfortunately it can only be applied to precomps and footage, not stacked on top of other effects. Would be great if this pattern could be added. 
That's... A really good idea actually! And seems pretty trivial to implement too if I add an integer option to have a sort of "offset" when reading into the palette.
Thank you for this suggestion!
Woah I didn't even know this was a thing :O
Is this the kind of effect your referring to??

Yeah, overall palette offset would definitely be a useful/interesting tool, but more of a radical effect.
Another possibility would be allowing cycling between X number palettes on a per frame basis?
That way you could manually make X number of subtly different .ASE palettes and cycle them?
Perhaps this would be easier to implement?
You're absolutely right! This seems very trivial to add. I just did a quick test and added a "PicoCAD" option to the dither patterns that goes perfectly with the PICO-8 palette that PixDither already has! To keep this plugin backwards-compatible, I had to add it wayyy at the end of the list though:
I went ahead and uploaded a new Windows build with this one added! Lemme know how it goes!
There will be some delay getting an updated OSX build uploaded due to my current build pipeline being kind of cheesy.
No news just-yet on a proper Apple-ARM release. I have yet to have access to Apple's proprietary compilation toolchain to assemble together a proper release though I might be able to set up an updated x64-based virtual machine or utilize a remote build server like GitHub actions and cross-compile an Apple-ARM build from it but won't be able to test and verify the ARM build on actual hardware.
Once I can secure a proper development pipeline though, I'll be updating all of my Pix-series plugins over to support Apple-ARM.
Haha really I tried my best to ask around for a machine to remote into and even tried to setup a Virtual Machine of some kind using VirtualBox and Docker and such but it turned out to be too much of a headache that just refused to provide a stable workspace since Apple really only wants OSX software to be compiled on OSX hardware! So I just bit the bullet and bought a minimum-viable 8GB M2 Mac Mini and it should be coming today! Before, I used a Virtual Machine on my Intel workstation but with the latest Apple-Silicon stuff...that is no longer feasible so it's about time I just give in and get some Mac hardware around as a build and test server. Expect an Apple-Silicon port either the end of this month or the first half of march. I'll be sure to be loud about it once it's done!
