[Project] Color Unification
Sindrake opened this issue · comments
This is likely going to be a long project, as the site's colors are a massive mess.
For the most part, I will be looking at the default hexagon theme, but I'll keep the pony and bloodlust themes in mind.
At the moment, serpernt is simply unsalvageable, and hotdog is a meme.
The goals of this project are as follows:
- Evaluate the various background and text colors used by the site
- Eliminate redundancies by looking for repeated or very similar colors
- Make the site more colorblind-friendly.
Backgrounds
The site's background colors are theme-specific.
However, the are a number of hardcoded background colors that are used for things like error messages, highlighting deleted comments, record backgrounds, and vote buttons.
Text Color
There are only two main text colors: text and text-muted.
Both of these are technically theme-specific, but only hotdog and serpent make use of them.
There are also a few highlight colors.
These are typically used to decorate vote and feedback counts.
Search Page Modes
Search page modes are all over the place.
There isn't a significant need to move them to the palette, or make them theme-specific.
