[SERIOUS REQUEST] Add KLM Flying Blue to the themes

I've got a real serious request here to add 'KLM Flying Blue' to the themes. Please, Google 'klm blue' or visit https://www.klm.com/home/us/en (gawd... 3,700 Euros for a round-trip to LA from Amsterdam for 2 adults and 3 kids in January . Where's my magic wand to turn them into 0 year olds again? ) for the shades. There are 2. A bright color of blue (#07a2de ?) (primary) and a dark blue color (#003145 ?) (secondary). The tertiary color is 'black', most likely. I don't know what formula you're using to add the color values for the JS. If I did, I could possibly add the theme to the JS myself.


Reason: Living next to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport lots of potential members work at the place. And KLM MAY BE one of our sponsors / partners, I've learned today. Which is kinda very very cool. Like... AWESOME!


Thanks for adding the KLM Flying Blue color scheme and your time.

It can be added manually, but it requires editing the ALL.JS file on your forum. The way I create the palettes and different shades was like this :

Code:

'Danube' : [
  '#7AD', // ALL DIGITS +1
  '#69C', // BASE COLOR
  '#58B', // ALL DIGITS -1
  '#369', // ALL DIGITS -3
  '#345' // SEE BELOW
];
// 0 = 0
// 1 = 1
// 3 = 2
// 6 = 3
// 9 = 4
// C = 5
// F = 6
// USE DISCRETION FOR COLORS IN BETWEEN

( original post )

Basically I'd take a single color, then create 4 different shades by adding and subtracting digits. I used shorthand hex since it was easier to work with and took up less space. Anyway, the primary color is #69C and the secondary color is #345 -- the colors don't have to be of the same shade though.

Using the colors you gave me, we could create something like this :

Code:

'KLM Blue' : ['#2BE', '#1AD', '#09C', '#07A', '#034']

( Note : I changed the hex to shorthand and rounded them to the nearest color ; you don't need to do this though, I only do it to make calculations easier )

Now that we have a palette we can add it to the theme selector. Go to Admin Panel > Modules > JS codes management > ALL.JS

Find

Code: 'Random theme' : [],

( line 78 ) and add your new palette after it. Make sure to add a comma after your palette since there will be other palettes after it. The end result should look something like this :

Code:

      'Select a theme' : [],
        'Random theme' : [],
            'KLM Blue' : ['#2BE', '#1AD', '#09C', '#07A', '#034'], // NEW THEME COLOR
              'Silver' : ['#DDD', '#CCC', '#BBB', '#999', '#555'], // hue 000
          'Dusty Gray' : ['#AAA', '#999', '#888', '#666', '#444'], // hue 000

Your new color doesn't have to be after "random theme" though, it can be anywhere.

Oh that's great! Thanks! Yeah I knew about the all.js and where it was and all I just can't figure out how you came to the shorthand codes based on what I gave you.

No problem.

Shorthand hex is pretty simple to understand and use, once you know how it works. Basically #F60 in shorthand is equal to #FF6600. The first digit is red, second green, and third blue. Knowing this, it's easy to select and create colors by changing these three digits in shorthand. Still, you sometimes might want to use the 6-digit notation since it allows for more exact colors. This has a pretty good explanation.

Looks really great @Ange Tuteur!

Thanks. I saved the link you gave me. I'll prolly have another look at this topic soon to try and make my own theme, so please store it somewhere safe. ty
