Thoughts on WordPress » Color Blender http://wp.michaelwalsh.org Stuff of interest to me for WordPress developers Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:13:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 More work on LEGO Theme http://wp.michaelwalsh.org/2009/10/25/more-work-on-lego-theme/ http://wp.michaelwalsh.org/2009/10/25/more-work-on-lego-theme/#comments Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:15:50 +0000 Mike http://wp.michaelwalsh.org/2009/10/25/more-work-on-lego-theme/ This morning Imade some more progress on the LEGO theme.  It is close to being released.  In fact, I was about to release it when I realized that the two different sized bricks for the page background wasn’t working.  Looks like I had deferred working on that.  The options work fine, they just don’t do anything as the size is currently hard coded into to the CSS file.

I did fix the problem with the Recent Comments widget as also added support for the WpTwitter widget.  I’ll noodle on how to get the size working as I go about my day today (chuch, soccer, etc.) and try and figure something out.  I also need to fix the footer links and add attribution to the Fibblesnork background images.

Here is what the yellow color scheme looks like:

ColorBlender seems to have come back on line which makes picking colors much easier.

Since it wasn’t working, I went in search for a replacement and found a couple interesting sites.

Of the three, I like the Color Match Remix Color Scheme Tool the best.  For a color neophyte like myself, these sort of resources are really useful.

Another resource I refer to pretty frequently is the Elementik’s Web design tools and resources I use page.  This page has links to all sorts of cool Javascript solutions, CSS tricks, color design resources, and more.
