#824 New Skins and their choices

[Nathan S.R.]

Hi Sourceforge Support Team,

First of all, thank you very much for the new features introduced like Community Badges and Anti Malware Certifications. These generate trust in my new users and visitors to my project sites.

I would like to see yet another feature called Skins introduced, with the ADMIN panel reflecting it with custom choices. Please see the Screenshot below of one of my Projects with the Default Skin Color changed to Sapphire Blue for more attractiveness and refreshing look.

I picked up this color code choice from here : https://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm#color-codes

This is also essential to avoid generating wrong thoughts in the minds of new visitors to our sites, as the dark colors may have evil connotations.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Nathan SR

I wanted to add that inverting the Foreground Color based on the choice of Background Color, dynamically, can be better achieved using this script here : https://jsfiddle.net/wh0re8bc/

Also, adjusting the factor value in the line var factor = 180; in the script above, can produce a much needed differentiation.

You can also use my Sourceforge Project for generating Contrast Color Codes : https://sourceforge.net/projects/contrasting-colors/

Enclosed attachment is a spreadsheet list of Color Category, Color Code, Color Names and Contrast_Color. Also attached is a html file to show how the browser renders these colors.

Please ignore my earlier comments, as they do not represent our requirement fully. I have now worked extensively for the last two days, on generating a List of Colors along with their Contrasting Values that pass the AAA wcag ratings and uploaded the work to a new Sourceforge Project Website, as usual, for the benefit of everyone : https://sourceforge.net/projects/list-of-colors-with-contrast/

Please give your feedback on the same, through a comment below. Thanks.

To implement a Color Picker Dropdown, for choosing the skins, use the attached script.
Hope this suggestion helps.

Also, I found this color picker, with lot of options : https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_picker.asp

Please ignore the last comment, as I have improved upon the color picker dropdown tool, many times and uploaded it to a new project website here : https://sourceforge.net/projects/color-picker-with-contrast/

After downloading and checking the files, please give your feedback through a comment below. Wish you good luck in implementing this feature request soon.
