Demo resets every 30 minutes.
Info
This current demo is based off the April 27th, 2009 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
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.
There may be a newer branch DRUPAL-6--2 (with support for the same hook_color info) since I made this when I was relatively modest in experience.
If something's broken
If this demo becomes broken please contact me via http://www.skiquel.com/contact and I will manually reset for you ASAP.

* 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.
