Very elegant themes! I particularly like the colours of Comfort. I did notice one thing though, the hover colour of the sidebar header links, the calendar month name for example, is the same as the background colour so the link disappears when you hover over it.

Thank you =D
I'm glad you like them.

Thanks for pointing that out, btw. I noticed that there seemed to be some connection with the page background and the hover color for some links in the sidebar. I think it's in how the layout was set. I changed the background up in both so they should show up somewhat now :)

Thanks for looking it over!

That's a stupid connection, it really restricts the colour combinations you can work with. It would be better if they separated them.

Hmm. The source code tells me the hover color for module titles is the same as the background for comment headers. I'll investigate and see if that can be changed. Meanwhile, you can add this to your layer to make it the same:

set custom_css = """

.module-header a:hover, .module-header a:visited:hover, .module-header a:active:hover {color: #972648;}

""";

That helps a lot. This way I can return the background to it's original lighter color so it doesn't disrupt the original color theme I had.

Thank you so much!!

ETA: I'll do something similar with the other color theme :)
