daouverson2 asked in #241430: color palette - *variations on a theme* if tapestry style color schemes could be setup in Marinelli.

I've modified Marinelli version 1.7 to do just that.

Please find attached "marinelli_experimental" which has the following things done to it...

1) Added additional options to the theme->Configure form
2) Added colorSchemes directory to the marinelli folder
3) Added marinelliOriginal.css color scheme
4) Added myTestColorScheme.css color scheme which is heavy on the yellow...

If you want to add your own color scheme then:

A) copy the marinelliOriginal.css to a name of your choosing
B) modify it to you liking
C) edit theme-settings.php (see that file for instructions...)

(it's entirely possible that css files from the tapestry theme could be dropped into colorSchemes but I have not yet tried that... - you'll still need to edit theme-settings.php)

Finally - remember that a lot of the color is also stored as bitmaps within the img folder. You can copy those images - edit them and then in your color scheme css file reference those new images...

You can load marinelli_experimental side by side with your existing marinelli theme - it will show up with the experimental name in your theme list.

(My previous patch: Assign Banner By Title is also included in this patch. #241962: Banner assignment rather than banner rotation.... You can turn it on and off in theme->Configure)

I look forward to hearing what you think!

Another possible solution would be using the Color module!

http://drupal.org/project/color_soc08

Themes are already using it in production
Here is the implementation guide:

Hi I want to use the experimental to change the default color schemes. However when i switch from marinelli to marinelli_experimental, all my menus are no longer expanded. They are configured correctly and set to be expanded. Any help is appreciated.

I see the dropdown function is not part of the experimental version....

This issue is being closed because it is against a branch for a version of Drupal that is no longer supported.
If you feel that this issue is still valid, feel free to re-open and update it (and any possible patch) to work with the 7.x-4.x branch.
Thank you.
