What I need

You will need scss for fast theme generating based on the wordpress scss files, But of course you can still use normal CSS file.

Contributing

Everyone is welcome to help contribute and improve this plugin. There are several ways you can contribute:

• Reporting issues (please read issue guidelines)
• Suggesting new features
• Writing or refactoring code
• Fixing issues

Eaxmple

The plugin comes with an example to see how the plugin works , it is under example/Dark folder.

To use the example :

1. Copy example/Dark to your/theme/folder/color-schema/Dark
2. Activate the new schema from you profile

Plugin configutaion

The plugin comes with following configuration as default :

<? php
$default = array(
    // path relative to the theme dir 
    'path' => '/color-schema',
    // default color-schema to activate for every new user
    'default' => '',
    // if true the user will be no more able to change its dashboard color schema
    // and the default one will be used
    'disable_color_picker' => false,
    // enable color-schema on fontend
    'enbale-on-frontend' => true,
);
?>

You can override the default configuration using add_filter function like in the following example :

<?php

// in the your theme's functions.php file
add_filter('Hyyan\AdminColorSchema.options', function(array $default) {

    // read schemas from "admin-color-schema" folder relative to current theme
    $default['path'] = '/admin-color-schema';

    // use Bluetheme as default schema for every new user
    $default['default'] = 'BlueTheme';

    return $default;
});
?>

Create new schema

If you are using the default path in the plugin configuration then :

1. Create color-schema in your theme root dir
2. Create new schema dir for example : (vivid) in the color-schema dir
3. Create schema.ini file and configure it
4. create colors.scss then complie it into colors.css

; schema.ini
; ==============
; 
; the name of your theme if not set the current dir name will  be used
; for example if your theme live in "color-schema/vivid" then "vivid" will be used as name of theme
name= my create theme 

;your translaion domain if not set the 'defualt' domain will be used
;the domain will be used to translate the theme name
domain= default
