Brittle: adding Wizard options?

I've been working on a new theme for Brittle (preview/layer).

In it, there are some options that I've added using custom CSS to make it more like what I want it to be, but none of these have an option to change the colour in the Wizaard, which I think is an important factor. I'm not sure what to actually call some of these things so I am just going to post the CSS for what I've done beneath the cut.

.entry-wrapper-odd .entry, .comment-depth-even > div > .comment-wrapper > .comment {
border: 5px #333333 solid;
}

.entry-wrapper-odd .entry .userpic img, .comment-depth-even > div > .comment-wrapper > .comment .userpic img {
border: 5px #333333 solid;
}

.entry-wrapper-even .entry, .comment-depth-odd > div > .comment-wrapper > .comment {
border: 5px #111111 solid;
}

.entry-wrapper-even .entry .userpic img, .comment-depth-odd > div > .comment-wrapper > .comment .userpic img {
border: 5px #111111 solid;
}


I don't want to sacrifice these things for the theme layer, either, because they're part of why I like it. So, it'd be neat to see ideas on how to add the options in (and preferably, to be honest, ideas that don't involve me having to learn more s2, because I'm not that good at it and even CSS can make my head hurt at times).

Ignore my last comment; I forgot I could just look at the layout layer.

Since you used #111111 already in the wizard, wherever it appears in your custom CSS, you can change it to $*color_entry_background, like so:

.entry-wrapper-even .entry, .comment-depth-odd > div > .comment-wrapper > .comment {
border: 5px $*color_entry_background solid;

Pretty much what [personal profile] sarken said.
To add these properties you may have to use the $*color_xxxxxx_xxxxxx for anything you want to customize in but isn't the default in the customizing options.

You could add some more options, but that's more S2.

[personal profile] ninetydegrees is right. I was thinking of a layout layer. My mistake.

"Only core and layout layers can define new properties."

:/ You can't create new properties (i.e. things which are customizable in the Wizard) in a theme layer.

As Sarken said you can use existing properties (which would work for #111 but not for #333).

I think you should ask Fu if she can think of something.
