There are some themes on http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ColorThemes/ but would be great to see more nice themes. On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 18:20, Vincent Massol <vincent(a)massol.net> wrote:

Since *.xwiki.org hosts closely related wikis, the themes should be very similar, just a different color palette for the backgrounds and highlights.

If anyone wants to create a Color Theme and wants to share it, you can add a screenshot on http://www.flickr.com/groups/xwikiux/ or just reply to this mail. On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 20:50, Sergiu Dumitriu <sergiu(a)xwiki.com> wrote:

Thanks Cati. I don't like that we change the text colors since I find it's hard to read on white for several of them. I'd prefer we only change the background color and leave the rest unchanged actually. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent On Sep 24, 2009, at 11:06 PM, Ecaterina Valica wrote:

I have not followed everything about the new skin so my opinion is a bit late but I look the last proposals and I agree with you, Niels, red & blue is a bit stressful... blue, red or orange "pastel" colors are too "tasteless" to make it attractive also... Moreover, colibri skin seems quite angular and too bright colors with respect to white background and dark grey font colors gives me an impression of not being finished... something under work... you know, something is missing to make it "sexy" or "pro" depending on what you are looking for;)... not easy to explain my impression... In fact I wonder whether this is not simply due to this big background panel with a unique color not too light, not too dark... Maybe just playing with some nicer borders and some font color contrasts would make it... Not an easy work... but let me tell you everything you've already done is quite nice anyway...

The idea was to have a common color and blue is more general accepted. It's very hard to find a strong color to fit other variation, without using non-colors (grays, black, white). Not to mention how difficult is to find a color theme, that would make anyone happy :)

if you want to make it more subtle, this means having a common background color and this takes us back to the bi-color proposal or the dark/ gray one.

An idea would to only change the page header color (with some pastel colors). For ex a quite standard design rule is to use different colors for each tab of a horizontal navigation. The background could then be the same for all subwikis. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

if you want to make it more subtle, this means having a common background color and this takes us back to the bi-color proposal or the dark/ gray one.

If we change the page header color, the white logo will be very visible and we can't add transparency (we can try - but will lower the logo quality) because of IE6.

WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

Not necessarily. I'm working on improving a IE behavior that enables PNG transparency on all images and backgrounds. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

I liked proposal 6 much better than all other proposals so far (I like the darker colors for XWATCH6b rather than XWATCH6). We're getting there! :) Is it possible to try without the footer, right panels and clicked links colored so that they are the same colors for all subwikis? Thanks -Vincent

Hi, Ecaterina Valica wrote:

I like proposal 7 (Neutral gray) more because I prefer that the panels have a different background color than the page. Also I like the contrast between the white (paper) and the page (desk) background color. I don't understand the purpose of the darker bottom strip in proposal 6's header. Also, the number of attachments in the bottom tab bar is hardly visible (at least for me) while in proposal 7 the contrast is quite good. Thus I'm +1 for proposal 7 (Neutral gray) and -0 for proposal 6. I don't mind if the link color is different for each wiki. I would still be +1 for proposal 7 if the link color would be the same for all wikis. Well done! Thanks, Marius
