Was looking through colours, and decided to make some EasyRead themes!

Theme name/layout: Aqua · EasyRead
Info: Info · Source · Preview
Light on dark, with not too much variation between the different text colours, and a text colour that is desaturated enough that it's easy for me to look at on the dark background.

Theme name/layout: Desert · EasyRead
Info: Info · Source · Preview
Pretty standard dark on light, with a pale yellow background rather than white, and a gentler blue/brown link scheme.

Theme name/layout: Desert Dark · EasyRead
Info: Info · Source · Preview
Light on dark but not too dark brown, slightly mid level contrast overall.

Theme name/layout: Mint Julep · EasyRead
Info: Info · Source · Preview
Dark on light, with obviously, a pale green theme for the background/entry background/header colour.

Six themes: EasyRead

I noticed EasyRead could use some low contrast options. Any feedback/suggestions for improvements would be welcomed. I don't need low contrast, so these work for me, but I want to be sure they're accessible.

Color Theme Multi-Layout Bundle: NNWM 2009

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:55:40 GMT

Posted by: zvi

This is, in some ways, a proof of concept for something I suspected was true but wanted to find out for sure. I made a color theme for every current official style to match this year's NaNoWriMo webbadges. Once I worked out the basic color scheme, I was able to port to most system styles with minimal adjustment. A couple of branchandroot's styles call the color of an element from a non-standard place (e.g., the footer link in Stepping Stones gets it color from the pagetitle), a few I adjusted for minor aesthetic reasons (usually adjacent blocks of the same color making an odd shape), and I did Transmogrified completely differently because the alternating entry colors can be controlled via the wizard.

They are, at the moment, all named NNWM 2009, but that might be confusing. If I could get comments on that as well, I'd appreciate it.

EasyRead

Theme name/layout: EasyRead / Tabula Rasa
Author: rb
Layout info: CSS is available at http://notdoneliving.net/dw-easyread.css
Image info: Has no images

You can see this layout being used at my journal rb.

This very plain/simple layout is optimised for users who have low vision and use very large font sizes (think >36 pt, I usually use 128pt fonts) when reading long slabs of text. As you can imagine, most styles totally fail to be usable at these huge font sizes.

I have no knowledge of S2 or how to convert this theme into a "proper" DW style, and no spare energy/spoons/brain cells to learn how. afuna said to post it anyway and somebody else may do the converting for me so here you are! If anybody'd like to volunteer to help, please please please feel free :)

I set this up by choosing Tabula Rasa with no sidebars and pointing the CSS at the file above, I don't think there was anything else? I'd really like the stuff in .module-section-one to come out *above* the main content but I don't think this can be done with just CSS, I need the HTML output to be in a different order - hence the need (I think) for a patch.

Please somebody let me know if I have totally screwed this up! As you can see, I'm rather short on confidence here.

Ricky
