Our Approach
Like they say on cooking shows, "Here's one I prepared earlier". The image below is a screenshot of a template that has the same content as this one but with a different background and some setting changes.
The full list of XML and CSS changes made to get to this design are:
Added a new darker background image to the bgimages folder and set this as the background.
Inverted the theme by setting the invert attribute to 1.
Changed the base color to a bright yellow and the composite color to a steel grey.
Added two CSS color 'overrides' to make the color of the footer and the content border a better yellow.
Increased the alpha of the content background to 90.
