I just came across the Solarized pallette project by Ethan Schoonover at http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized. I have tweaked and documented the dark.css file with the Solarized colors (seeing that you all had it marked as "needs work"). So far, it seems to have turned out pretty nice as it allows not only dark backgrounds, but light as well. Try the different body background colors in the first tag of the file.
I thought this would be a nice fit to the theme and/or stock subtheme, for what it's worth!

Jeff Burnz commentedCool, I'm gonna try this out asap, very bummed I did not see this before I released the new version - thank-you very much for tweaking this up, it really did need some love and I can't wait to give this a test run.

Jeff Burnz commentedI'm working this up at the moment, it needs some work to play really well with Drupal core but not that much, its definitely a massive improvement and I will include this in the next release (which will be sooner rather than later due to some issues in the current release - I had some git issues...).
Comment #3
Jeff Burnz commentedI included this in the latest release (I had to make a new release due to a git issue).
I made some very minor changes such as adding menu icons for collapsed and expanded menu items (small white arrows) and tidied up the local task primary links, other than that its virtually identical to the CSS in the OP.

mattrock commentedI have some more tweaks and cleanup coming! Thanks for including this.
Comment #5
mattrock commentedHere is some major cleanup to the dark.css file. Extra code has been purged where possible, and the Stylized palate has been substituted throughout. Note that where possible, backgrounds have been made transparent which allows for the great contrast of the Stylized palate to work with both dark and light backgrounds. By switching through the various background tags in the lead body tag, the results can be seen.
The CSS code has also been formatted to conform with Drupal preferences. Fully tested with 2.1 in standard browsers only.

mattrock commentedI think this is the right way to do a patch file, it's my first try. This should yield the changes in the file above.
Comment #7
mattrock commentedThis patch should modify the AdaptiveTheme Subtheme to a full light-on-dark subtheme for Drupal 7.
Contained within is a ton of cleanup to the dark.css file. More transparency has been set for backgrounds. A few alpha settings have been set for things like the even/odd tables.
The arrow images have been re-made with the Solarized colors. Drop the PNG's in to the adaptivetheme_subtheme/css/images/dark folder and add the attached images.
Patch file should enable dark.css in the adaptivetheme_subtheme.info file as well as update the dark.css file. The patches are made against 7.x-2.x rev of AdaptiveTheme and apply to the AdaptiveTheme Subtheme only.

diwant commentedHi, I'd like to try this out since I'm hoping for a good light on dark theme using Corolla. I'm using 3.x, will this work for me? Also, I've never patched with png files before, how can I include these in a drush make file?
Comment #9
diwant commentedDidn't mean to change that. Cats, right?

Shai commentedI'm also interested in a light on dark sub theme for adaptivetheme 3.x
