Color Me Topcoat

Posted 20 Oct 2013

Deep in the pits of the Topcoat Theme lived way too many colors. It made it tricky to customize a new theme quickly. So we leveraged the color functions from Stylus to wittle the colors down to just a few base colors:

  • Text color
  • Control base color
  • Page base color
  • Notification color
  • Highlight color
  • Shadow color

This colors then effect the rest of the theme. Each of the previous colors can still be declared manually if you need that control.

Here's a screencast that steps through the theme and how to tweak it.
