Colorable Neptune (with options for a dark theme)

Awesome, thanks! Here's the closest thing I found to dark zen, and it looks like they won't do Zen 7.x-5.x.

Here's my solution, and it's what I've posted at #1053734: Design DesignKit module integration (comment #15), that we use DesignKit. I'm not sure how that works with subthemes, but I've implemented it on my subtheme of Neptune and it's working well (see that comment, it has screenshots).

Even if #2007470: Will DesignKit colors and images be inherited and usable by subthemes? says that subthemes cannot inherit DesignKit settings, I wonder if we can share and work together on the DesignKit integration, at least the parts common to all of us.

For people who want to try and follow along with the DesignKit integrations, here are the important bits from my files below. But first, a screenshot to show something that custom CSSing like what you see below has not yet addressed. Behold, my ugly modules page!

Here is the relevant part of the info file:

 146 ; Design Kit stuff
 147 ; Background color
 148 designkit[color][g_background][title] = "Background"
 149 designkit[color][g_background][description] = "Background color (for, well, the background!)."
 150 designkit[color][g_background][default] = "#FFFFFF"
 151 ; Foreground color
 152 designkit[color][g_foreground][title] = "Foreground"
 153 designkit[color][g_foreground][description] = "Foreground color (for text, etc)."
 154 designkit[color][g_foreground][default] = "#3F3F3F"
 155 ; Primary color
 156 designkit[color][g_primary][title] = "Primary"
 157 designkit[color][g_primary][description] = "Primary color, the main color of your theme (for links, etc.)."
 158 designkit[color][g_primary][default] = "#51ACD2"
 159 ; Complementary color
 160 designkit[color][g_complementary][title] = "Complementary"
 161 designkit[color][g_complementary][description] = "Complentary color, a second to the first color."
 162 designkit[color][g_complementary][default] = "#68EA53"
 163 ; Success color
 164 designkit[color][g_success][title] = "Success"
 165 designkit[color][g_success][description] = "Whatever color represents success, i.e. Green for go!"
 166 designkit[color][g_success][default] = "#68EA53"
 167 ; Error/failure color
 168 designkit[color][g_error][title] = "Error"
 169 designkit[color][g_error][description] = "Whatever color represents error, or failure. i.e. Red for stop!"
 170 designkit[color][g_error][default] = "#FF5F5B"
 171 ; Warning color
 172 designkit[color][g_warning][title] = "Warning"
 173 designkit[color][g_warning][description] = "A color for warnings and status. i.e. Yellow for caution!"
 174 designkit[color][g_warning][default] = "#FFE45B"

Here is the key part of my designkit.tpl.php:

   1 <?php
   2   /**
   3    * Initial setup, probably belongs in a preprocess hook, but where?
   4    */
   5   function _compile_alternates(&$colors, $films) {
   6     foreach( $colors as &$color ) {
   7       foreach( $films as $film_name => $film ){
   8         foreach( $film['shifts'] as $shift ) {
   9           $color[$film_name][] = designkit_colorshift($color[0], $film['color'], $shift);
  10         } 
  11       } 
  12     } 
  13   } 
  14   // Set up the film, which is what will be applied in varying amounts to get variations of our colors.
  15   $down_color = (designkit_colorhsl($g_background, 'l') > 0.5) ? '#ffffff' : '#000000';
  16   $up_color = ($down_color=='#ffffff') ? '#000000' : '#ffffff';
  17   
  18   $films = array(
  19     "down" => array(

  30     ),
  31     "lighten" => array(
  32       "shifts" => array(0.1, 0.3),
  33       "color" => "#fff",
  34     ),
  35   );

Derpaderpa how do I paste from VI in an SSH Terminal without the line numbers?

Great! When you get to it, my files will have have evolved a little and organized a little more. Let me know if you want fresh versions to look at then.
