Dartik is a dark version of Bartik - Drupal 7 core's default theme.
It is basically a copy of all color styles from Bartik leaving all other styles untouched, to be inherited from the original theme.

  • Fully compatible with color module.
  • Contains all RTL overrides and images needed for right-to-left sites.
  • Tested as admin theme too.

The idea for a dark scheme for Bartik came up while we were thinking of improvements to the color schemes available at that time in #762468: Fix up the color schemes for Bartik but as Jen (Bartik's creator and mainrainer) mention here and here - "Bartik won't work light text on dark background. Ever. Unless someone makes a contrib theme like that.... :P" - so here it is.

Attached is a screen shot.

Changing the status to "needs review" is an important part of the instructions, because reviewers tend to look only at issues in that status.

This theme follows the coding standards pretty well, but I do have two minor nitpicks:

  • CSS properties should be listed in alphabetical order. (CSS coding standards)
  • Use shorthand for hex colors whenever possible. #222 instead of #222222

The major issue, however, is that this theme is not accessible due to color contrast. I created an issue at #1140046: All text output should should meet minimum contrast guidelines

Use the Style Guide module to preview the most common Drupal output in this theme. There are several occurances of light text on a white background and black text on a dark background.

Thank's for the review,

I've answered about the accessibility issue on #1140046: All text output should should meet minimum contrast guidelines.

Regarding CSS properties order and shorthands, I've modified my style sheets, patch with all changes attached.

I'm marking this as reviewed. I haven't found any new issues and the only issues still open has been partially resolved while tsi awaits more details. It seems like something that may take a while to work out, and not something that needs to keep this from becoming a full project.
