2011 Child Theme to Change Colors

I have been playing with the twenty eleven theme in version 3.2, there are a few niggles which I am sure will get sorted, so I though I would create a free child theme to take more control over the colors.

It did take a couple of days of my time, I got hung up on using the Farbtastic color picker for all color swatches, I did get it working well in the end.

I liked the global link color changer, but not that it made a hover link of the title, and the other parts like the menu and titles I wanted more control over.

The style elements are just coded into an array, nothing special just a few lines of code, the styles use the same method as the global links, and it only works with twenty eleven as a child theme.

I built in a nice bit of code from a 2002 colors sample I found, this looks at all the colors in the selected header image and displays them with variants, so we can match the theme to our header colors.

Here is my post with an overveiw of the child theme.

Here is an overview on YouTube
