The color module seems to require the theme in folder "sites/all/themes" or in "themes"!

My scenario on a local installation. Domain name: d6

  • create a fresh Drupal installation
  • create a subdir sites/d6
  • copy themes/garland to sites/d6/themes/mytheme, rename garland.info to mytheme.info and modify this .info file accordingly
  • call http://d6/admin/build/themes and set mytheme as default
  • chang color theme to Ash

==> header color is incorrect!

It works all correct if the theme was located in sites//all/themes!

Next scenario: create a garland sub theme:

  • created a fresh Drupal installation
  • created a subdir sites/
  • copied *.css, color, *.png from garland theme to sites/all/themes/mytheme, created a mytheme.info to have garland as base theme
    name = My Theme
description = My Theme
version = VERSION
core = 6.x
base theme = garland
stylesheets[all][] = style.css
stylesheets[print][] = print.css
  • called http://d6/admin/build/themes and set mytheme as default
  • configured theme mytheme and changed color to Ash

==> I get:

Messages
* The configuration options have been saved.
* The directory sites/d6/files/color/mytheme-057433f6 has been created.

But the theme seems to work correctly

If the theme was located in sites/d6/themes, the result would be scrambled: colors, images and so on were missing!

same problem,

I created a subtheme to custom garland theme, but colors are not kept.
If I duplicate color folder in my theme, I can configure the colors for my sub-theme, but I get the errors above, and the site theme comes back to the default blue Garland theme color...

I got this working using the patch here: http://drupal.org/node/466268 and the color.inc example found here: http://drupal.org/node/362679
