Change color in Effervescence+ to personal colors - Michiel - 2009-04-17
Hello,
I would like to change the colors of the Effervescence+ theme because i don't like the colors in it.
I like the Effervescence theme colors (grey) but dislike all the green. I would the the theme to be completely grey/black/white colors.
I allready copied the theme and tried to change the colors but there are so many colors... Is there an easy way (maybe with help of an program) to change the colors or make my own color scene for the theme?
Regards,
Michiel Arndts

Sorry, unfortunately the CSS standards require that constants be used for the colors. I think you will find that the uses of the various colors are pretty well documented in the CSS. The best approach (and the one taken in creating the color schemes that exist now) is to lay out a table of the colors of an existing scheme and map them to what you want the new colors to be. Then you copy the existing theme and use a replace engine to replace the instance of the constants for the old scheme with what you want for the new one.
Most text editors will let you do such global replaces.
