USe variables for site scheme colours, allowing users to change their colour scheme
Title:
USe variables for site scheme colours, allowing users to change their colour scheme
Area:
Site Scheme
Summary:
Allow users to pick the colours used within their preferred site scheme, probably by setting the existing colourschemes as default variables, allowing people to skin the site as they wish without the need for many many site scheme colour scheme requests and suggestions.
Description:
Me, I love Gradation, and can handle Tropo Purple, but the rest of the colours do little for me, and I actually find Tropo Red a little offputting. I do like the paler off white background colour though, means I don't have to worry about getting a headache if I have to login from the homepage.
If the extant schemes are kept as main supported colour schemes, but users are able to change the colours to whatever they wish, this would prevent the need for extra schemes for those with different preferences, and allow people that prefer one menu structure with a different colourscheme to adapt.
I'm told a block on having different schemes is logo design, but if all logos are there as a checkbox option on that page, we can accept extra submissions of diffferent coloured logos, within reason, but people can pick shecmes that complement the logo, I'd have no problem with having the red logo on Gradation TBH, might even prefer it.
There have been at least two suggestions I've seen recently for different types of site scheme preferences, this would pretty much eliminate the need for extra schemes (and the work that entails updating each), and allow much more flexibility.
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
