Theme name/layout: Purple Squiggle/Sunday Morning
Author:alyndra
Layout info: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layersource?id=324332
Layout source: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/layersource?id=324332
Preview Image info: http://vector.tutsplus.com/freebies/vectors/free-vector-decorative-ornament/ (Same as other Sunday Morning Squiggle layouts)
This is the first time I've ever done a theme, and I was hoping for some feedback. I like color a lot: I tried to strike a balance between that and still being readable and not a Myspace-esque eyesore. Let me know how well I succeeded, and if this might be worth submitting?
I also did some color contrast checking as advised here, and all was okay except for this:
If links aren't underlined, "the accessibility guidelines state that the contrast ratio between the link color and the surrounding text should be at least 3:1."
I couldn't seem to get that without getting very dark, which would make it hard to read against the background. Just looking at it seems to me it should be different enough, at least the teal main link color vs. the main text, but any advice?
ETA: Okay, I made a couple more tweaks and am ready to submit, I emailed the CLA in a little bit ago, so it should be all good to go! (If I need to make a new post, I can do that . . .)

Meanwhile, it's okay to have a few lower-contrast styles -- for some people lower-contrast is better than higher-contrast. So it doesn't have to fit those guidelines 100%!

I'll probably try to get a few last tweaks in before I submit it, but hopefully soon!

Your lovely theme was committed today and will go live during the next code push. Congrats on becoming a Dreamwidth contributor!
