i'm confused - if i'm a site admin, do i enable this module and then i'm given the option to override default theme colors for content types (for example) - or is this a hook for themes to call and in turn requires that the installer hack into themes and all of that?

and what is it coloring? text? page background? i'm just confused..sorry...maybe i'm missing the whole point!

some screenshots would be nice too ;)

I think they mean depending on which node, taxonomy it sets a CSS id or class which you can use however you like in a DIV and more, maybe I am guessing wrong :)

yeah, i don't get it at all - d6 has a core color.module, so i keep thinking these are related - i would really appreciate clarification, demo site/nodes, etc...

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the vague module description and bare bones code.
A couple of people at Drupalcon Boston wanted me to push it out so they could use it on their sites while i finish it.

I'll update the code/screenshot and description over the weekend for you.

Mainly right now you can set a color in the content type edit page and in the edit term page for taxonomy. Then in your theme you can use the exposed function to set a background color or anything else you need with that color. The example given in the readme allows you to over ride the month view of the event calendar and assign colors to the taxonomy or content types. A bug/feature in the event module i'm putting an issue in for is that taxonomy doesn't work currently for multi day.

An example can be seen here : http://cmes.hmdc.harvard.edu/event

if you click the "color key" link it displays a popup with the taxonomy list and their associated color.

There will be more documentation,examples,features to come soon.

hi i hope you have extended this since march.

this is very useful if you need to overlay the themes with custom style
