Let’s look at the default theme (garland) and customize it.
We can customize the following features:
Back in the Themes section of the Administer area, there is a configure link next to each theme; if we click this we are taken to the theme’s configuration page.
Although Doug ideally wants a new theme that is unique to his website, he also wants to have a look at a few different options for the default theme. In particular, he wants to add his company’s logo to the website and try a number of red color schemes as those are his corporate colors.
The color scheme settings are quite intuitive and easy to change. We can either:
To change a color using the color wheel, we need to click on the color type (base color, link color, etc.) to select it and then chose the general color from the wheel and the shade of the color from the square within.
When we change the colors or color set, the preview window below the settings automatically updates to reflect the color change.
The following color sets are available:
Quite a number of these are red-based color schemes, let’s look into them, they are:
The Belgian Chocolate color set uses a dark red header with a gradient starting with black flowing into a dark red color. The page’s background is a cream color and the main content area has a white background as illustrated by the picture below:
The Mediterrano color set uses a lighter red color where the gradient in the header starts with a light orange color which then flows into a light red color. Similar to the Belgian Chocolate color scheme the background is cream in color with a white background for the content area.
The Shiny Tomato color set has a gradient header that starts with deep red and flows into a bright red color. The page’s background is light grey with white background for the main content area, reflecting a professional image.
The Shiny Tomato color set uses a red scheme which is in Doug’s logo and he feels this set is the most professional of the three and wants us to use that.
