Bunch of themes: For the Bold

[ex_rising236]

Something clicked in my head as to how to theme the layout, and as such, I have a bunch of themes! Some are new, some are my favourite colour combinations from other themes, and I'm probably going to do a few more batches at some point.

Enjoy, and would love feedback as to how these look/work.

So gorgeous!

These are all very nice but I wonder a bit about the black border around the poster icon. It's the same for all the themes and it doesn't really work for some of them I think.

[ex_rising236]

From what I can tell, the border's taken from the text colour, so I'm not sure what to do to change that, at the moment.

--Yeah, I just did a bit more fiddling around, and the base theme has the userpic border colour set from *color_entry_text, which is certainly not ideal in the longrun. Would like to see there be a separate option in the wizard for setting the userpic border, in the mean time I suppose I might see about what can be done with some fiddly overrides. Thing is, I'm not sure what other colour I could take it from that would work, either. For some of the themes, I could take it from *color_module_background, but for some of them like Le Marin, that wouldn't work. So.

File a bug to fix that!

Will do-- I wanna talk to Momiji first because I took a look at the layer source for the layout, and it doesn't look like the userpic border is set in a "simple" fashion, though. I found at least two distinct things that together are what sets the colour for the border. In the mean time, I'm not sure …

Personally the black userpic border doesn't actually bother me, on any of them, but if it is bothering too many other people I can hold off on this until we can figure it out, either via css overrides so that I can set it to draw the colour from something else, or until we have the actual option in the wizard.

I'm the one who converted and patched this style. If you think a separate option for userpic borders is necessary I'll be happy to add it in. It's a fairly simple change. I wanted to patch your themes anyway.

[ex_rising236]

Option for the userpic borders is definitely necessary, and thank you so much!

Ideally in terms of setting options when stuff like this, no unique element, like a userpic border, or title background (or colour for bold or italic text, thinking back... XD) should ever be drawing from some other element, though this is totally the not-worst of the ones that I've seen happen.

Anyway, lemme know when you've done this, and what the variable that I'll need for the layer files, and such, and when for I'll be able to go and set it, and I'll go through the themes and do so.

[ninetydegrees]

Yeah I usually think about this kind of stuff but I missed it here. Sorry. I'll try to work on it ASAP.

The three props from the patch:

color_entry_userpic_border
color_comment_userpic_border
color_module_profile_userpic_border

[ex_rising236]

For adding to the patches for the themes, here's what the props should be for each one-

Bold Enough:
set color_entry_userpic_border = "#AC3D98";
set color_comment_userpic_border = "#AC3D98";
set color_module_profile_userpic_border = "#EDCCE7";

Certain Frogs:
set color_entry_userpic_border = "#ade15c";
set color_comment_userpic_border = "#ade15c";
set color_module_profile_userpic_border = "#ade15c";

Fantastic Cyan:
set color_entry_userpic_border = "#3d98ac";
set color_comment_userpic_border = "#3d98ac";
set color_module_profile_userpic_border = "#cce7ed";

Fleur:
set color_entry_userpic_border = "#988772";
set color_comment_userpic_border = "#988772";
set color_module_profile_userpic_border = "#988772";

Gentle Sunshine:
set color_entry_userpic_border = "#fcb95d";
set color_comment_userpic_border = "#fcb95d";
set color_module_profile_userpic_border = "#fff7af";

Heureux:
set color_entry_userpic_border = "#fe7597";
set color_comment_userpic_border = "#fe7597";
set color_module_profile_userpic_border = "#fe7597";

Le Marin:
set color_entry_userpic_border = "#e3d8c3";
set color_comment_userpic_border = "#e3d8c3";
set color_module_profile_userpic_border = "#d9cbb2";

Mossy:
set color_entry_userpic_border = "#d5d4b3";
set color_comment_userpic_border = "#d5d4b3";
set color_module_profile_userpic_border = "#d5d4b3";

Royal:
set color_entry_userpic_border = "#6e3dac";
set color_comment_userpic_border = "#6e3dac";
set color_module_profile_userpic_border = "#e5dfed";

Since I couldn't set it in the layers yet, but that's what each one needs. Thanks so much

[ninetydegrees]

Thank you! Do you want to add some for Well-Behaved Dragons (http://dreamscapes.dreamwidth.org/104497.html) too?

[ex_rising236]

Oh, yeah. Sure. Lemme go do that, and I'll leave it as a comment on that entry for you.

[ninetydegrees]

Wonderful! Thanks!

[turlough]

That definitely complicates things. Taking colour from the text actually sounds like a pretty silly thing to me. Though you're probably right that there are bound to be problems no matter what it takes the colour from.

[ex_rising236]

The best solution is going to be letting the colour be set independently in the wizard, but that may take some effort, yeah.

[storminmay]

I love this! Currently using the cyan version. :)

All your For the Bold themes have been committed too!
