Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.We have improved color module a lot and taken a big step towards core and contrib themes to leverage it in a way that it is a real asset. #693504: Color.module does not support more than 5 colors and has hard-coded labels
We could do something that might be quite easy and kick a lot of ass:
Say you wanna place an element like a logo in front of a gradient, or any background.
Currently color module supports this only by also calculating the background, cause to my knowledge it only creates PNG 8 images. With support for Internet Explorer slowly fading out, and sure to do much more so during the life cycle of D7.
If we can enable color module to (also?) create PNG 24 that can fade into any background with gradiends and edges, it would make it a lightyear more flexible, especially thinking of trying to make it valuable for contrib theme creators.
While I have been moving back and forth in color.module and don't find it a particularly complicated, am abosutely no coder and cannot say what effort would be needed.
But as color module hardly touches anything but core themes now, it should be non-intrusive and not be called an API change.

Comment #3
markhalliwellI actually consider this to be a major bug given the day and age we're in.

markhalliwellMarked #1423276: Enhance color.module to allow handling of transparent files as a dup of this issue.
Comment #5
xjmHmm, I'm not sure this is a major bug. It's definitely more of a feature request, as this is something we've never supported before, and there's nothing specifically broken without it other than not having this valuable functionality.
So, I'm moving it to major feature request. We might also be able to make the case for it being a normal task, based on the idea that users would expect this functionality, but it's not a major bug nor a major task in my assessment.

xjmLooks like a crosspost; fixing.
Comment #8
xjm@Mark Carver and I discussed this more in IRC, and he explained that this is more of a bug because Drupal is not respecting the transparency of the image the user provides. So we agreed on normal bug. Sorry for the noise. :)

jair CreditAttribution: jair commentedI am unable to reproduce this bug.
I uploaded a png24 file (logo_png_24.png) as a custom logo in Bartik and saved
The site logo changed (see screen shot) as expected.
Comment #10
markhalliwellThis has to do with color support with a theme's default logo
the color.module(edit: not uploading a new logo via the UI). I'll need to right up some steps to reproduce.Comment #19
pameeela CreditAttribution: pameeela commentedI can't work out whether this is still valid because I'm not so sure of the use case. Can anyone who knows about these things update the issue summary, or close if this is no longer relevant?
Comment #23
quietone CreditAttribution: quietone at PreviousNext commentedThere has been no activity here, expect to ask for more information, for 9 years.
More information about this issue was asked for in #19, 1 year ago. No additional information has been supplied, therefor closing as outdated.
If you are experiencing this problem on a supported version of Drupal reopen the issue, by setting the status to 'Active', and provide complete steps to reproduce the issue (starting from "Install Drupal core").
Thanks!
