Accessible colour themes needing testing
I was talking to someone (at http://dw-styles.dreamwidth.org/10503.html?thread=239879#cmt239879) who wanted more light-on-dark styles for accessibility reasons. I've started creating some and posted them in Dreamscapes (all called Light on Dark). Is anyone from the Accessibility team free to test them? I've basically gone for something fairly plain and with maximum contrast, but do say if they're either too ugly, or if my attempts at prettifying have reduced the contrast on the headers and things too much.
Entries indreamscapes:
Dreamscapes entry Preview Tranquility III (ready for a patch)
Dreamscapes entry Preview Sunday Morning (preview doesn't include the image)
Dreamscapes entry Preview ColorSide (patch has been submitted, so should be live soon)
Dreamscapes entry Preview Negatives (just needs testing)
Dreamscapes entry Preview Boxes and Borders (needs some extra settings)
Dreamscapes entry Preview Drifting (just needs testing)
Dreamscapes entry Preview Funky Circles (just needs testing)
Dreamscapes entry Preview Bases (needs some extra settings)
Style_system entry Preview Blanket (still needs some work)
You should be able to apply any of the layouts in Dreamscapes to your journal like this:
Go to Advanced Styles: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/advanced/styles
Scroll down to the bottom and Create a new style (with whatever name you like).
In the Layout drop-down at the bottom, select the layout that's being used (i.e. Funky Circles or whatever). Leave everything else, and just click Change.
In the theme drop down menu, select Other. Enter the Layerid from the post in Dreamscapes (e.g. 76707). Save changes.
Note which style you're currently using.
Click Use for the new style, and then look at the results on your journal.
You should be able to go back to your old style by clicking "Use" for it.
(tell me if I've missed a step and that doesn't work)

Is it possible to set up URLs that we can just look at to test them? I remember somebody saying you could put layerid=number on the end or something? That would be a lot easier!
Cheers,
Ricky

I hope we can get all the issues fixed soon so they can go live with the next code push.
