Gradiance
Theme name/layout: Gradiance
Author: Kaigou
Layout info: originally Tranquility III
Image info: 10 substitute icons (5 per style)

Users can change the 8-scale gradient, the page background, the default text color, the content/comment background color, and colors for active & visited links. As long as the contrast between the 4th color and the 8th color is enough to make text legible, the gradient can go from darkest-dark to lightest-light, or from medium-dark to medium-light, depending on the amount of contrast required. The CSS looks a little funky as a result, but it makes for some easy cut-and-paste to create new color schemes.
The links all go to a test post on my journal, which has multiple replies of varying types (anon, registered, openid) so you can those in action.

The substitute icons fill in when there's a blank for an anonymous poster, an RSS feed, a DW user, or an OpenID user. The last image the blockquote background. [ETA: after further testing, the regular icons look fine even on a reversed setup, so not seeing reason to do that extra bit.]
There are still some outstanding issues that I can't figure out. None of them are really deal-breakers, but if I can find answers to these questions, I'll edit the existing code to reflect the fixes.
I'm presuming separate layouts for reversed (light-on-dark) color schemes, but it seems like it'd be a LOT easier to give users the option of reversing the colors, with a simple yes/no question (which would then flip color_001 for color_008 and so on). Or is it better to treat each as separate themes, on the grounds that users wouldn't be aware ahead-of-time that the colors can be easily reversed in the wizard?
...I think that covers it!

I'm viewing on Firefox 3.5.5 for Windows XP at 1440 x 900 resolution, and it's working great.
