Themers can checkout the module and view the example theme's color.inc files for documentation. To get the latest version get CVS and:
cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -r DRUPAL-6--1 -d color contributions/modules/color_soc08
Demo resets every 30 minutes.
Info
This current demo is based off the October 29th, 2008 snapshot. You can grab it and the demo themes at http://www.drupal.org/project/color_soc08.
Color.module behavior
The behavior of color.module is pretty intuitive. However from a webmaster perspective it'll probably be a bit different. Because of this I'm making and user and admin.
The schemes in the color block depends on which theme you are currently using. It should automatically detect if you are using a user-chosen theme or site default.
After logged in under test / test, you can go to "My Account" and change your theme info.
Some places to tour
- The administer 'configuration' page of individual themes. You will find options to change default scheme for theme, edit themes, and regenerate (delete all + generate default).*
- Your userpage. From here you can change themes and experiment with their schemes
- Your color block. Where you change schemes for current theme.
- The repository. For theme examples and to look over code to contribute.
Minor caveats
Included is a Drupal 6.x port of Friends Electric, Steve Wittens' creation, and a timeless theme. It is colorable :) (As you may know, Wittens also created color.module's color picker, farbtastic). I originally intended to use this as the default demo theme, however couldn't fix the CSS bugs (You can still try it if you login). Internet Explorer 7 and below will not work as expected. It's available in the DRUPAL-6--1 examples, if you can fix this CSS and submit a patch, you rock.
Cleaning up the JS with farbtastic + color suggestions/color history.
Cleanstate, Nista, Splender, Spooner, and Simpla are old themes by me have been remade in Zen + colorized.

For bugs, suggestions and other stuff, check "Contributing" below.
* If you make a scheme of colors you really like, feel free to make a feature suggestion in the project page. Include the theme name and hex colors, if it's pleasant enough it can be added to the official theme release.
