Color.module

Last week I became co-maintainer of the Mobile Theme. http://drupal.org/project/mobile

Since the theme first was launched years ago, much has happened in the mobile space -- to the point where mobile first is becoming the smart way to go.

Hi, I wanted to point you guys to a demonstration of color.module I am working on.

http://www.skiquel.com/lab/drupal-6/ - You should be able to get to try it as 'user' and 'admin', and play around with the scheme functionality.

I really need the help of the theming community on this one. It has to do with the way color.module fundamentally works and how it works with themes.

The comment here linked me to an implementation of a color-changing theme for joomla. It uses alpha-transparent PNG images and pure CSS to deliver theme changes on the fly. From the looks of it (I do not have an account there yet, but I'll buy one), essentially the layout is comprised solely of CSS and colorless transparent images.

The drupal color module, if utilized, is one of the most powerful modules in a theme developer's arsenal for extending their design. I feel that this module deserves attention and has the potential to expand.

As a drupal themer who has experimented with color themes and the color.module internals I have bumped into things that would really improve the coloring experience and the module's power/usefulness.
