In a World Without Bartik: Providing Clients with a Theme Independent Color Picker

When Bartik is not your first choice how do you alter theme settings to allow users access to more customization options? Hacking into the Color module has not worked for you and your search for contributed modules has left you more frustrated. You have either found modules that are too complex or do not provide exactly what you are looking for.

I’ll present a down and dirty front-end solution to provide the user with a set of pre-defined color palettes with dynamic selectors that allows for theme customization within the limitations of our organization’s branding guidelines. This session will focus on customizing your theme’s PHP templates combined with integrating custom JS and CSS files.
