That's one consideration. Another one is readability of code. That template: '''''<nowiki>{{ColorAtys|type=bg|group={{{palette}}}}}</nowiki>''''' has two parameters and you can find it ONLY in one place in code: where color code have to be. So, for example, in here: '''''<nowiki>style="background:#{{ColorAtys|type=dark}};</nowiki>''''' same as here: '''''<nowiki> color:#{{ColorAtys|type=light}}</nowiki>'''''.

COLORS

On first page of this essay I showed few rows from table below. Bare with me as I am Tryker and Marauder... I will concentrate on that combination ;-)

Template 1/8 2/7 3/6 4/5 5/4 6/3 7/2 8/1
Ryzom dn-Ryzom dn-Ryzom dn-Ryzom dn-Ryzom dn-Ryzom dn-Ryzom dn-Ryzom dn-Ryzom
Tryker dn-Tryker dn-Tryker dn-Tryker dn-Tryker dn-Tryker dn-Tryker dn-Tryker dn-Tryker
Marauder dn-Marauder dn-Marauder dn-Marauder dn-Marauder dn-Marauder dn-Marauder dn-Marauder dn-Marauder

If we would to agree with many CSS designers on internet we should need only five colors to create modern clean layout. By no means I will defend that statement nor I will try to dismiss its value, I am proposing here things to open discussion... BUT, if we would consider CSS designers idea we should, or at least try, to restrict amount of colors used. That's why I posted this contraption:

dn-RT1 dn-RT2 dn-RT3 dn-RT4 dn-RT5 dn-RT6 dn-RT7 dn-MR3

before I go any further, I would like to share idea behind this model.

Try to not see 'dn-' part at all the time. I use it to easly identify 'my' code in this development stage.

Lets have a look at bit of CSS (this one should look familiar ;) ):

 <div style="
 border:1px solid #{{ColorAtys|group={{{palette}}}}};
 background: #{{ColorAtys|type=bg|group={{{palette}}}}};
 background: linear-gradient(to right, #{{ColorAtys|type=bg|group={{{palette}}}}}, #{{ColorAtys|type=light|group={{{palette}}}}});
 border: thin solid #{{ColorAtys|type=bg|group={{{palette}}}}};
 border-bottom: thin outset #{{ColorAtys|type=dark|group={{{palette}}}}};
 color: #{{ColorAtys|type=fg|group={{{palette}}}}};
 ">

Lets start disecting:

Dynamic colors

I am not gonna explain how colors are chosen to form a pallet for css layout, plenty of resources out there there... What I will like to do is analize bit of code from above:

  • border:1px solid #0ff;
    • here we have: BorderColor
  • background: #eff;
    • here we have: BackgroundColor
  • background: linear-gradient(to right, #eff, #cff);
    • fancy stuff: ColorFrom and ColorTo
  • border: thin solid #eff;
    • here we have: BorderColor... I saw that already here...
  • border-bottom: thin outset #366;
    • here we have... BottomBorderColor
  • color: #122;
    • here we have: Color

So we have now:

  • BorderColor
  • BackgroundColor
  • ColorFrom and ColorTo
  • BorderColor
  • BottomBorderColor
  • Color

and values are:

  • {{ColorAtys|group={{{palette}}}}} : 0ff
  • {{ColorAtys|type=fg|group={{{palette}}}}} : 122
  • {{ColorAtys|type=bg|group={{{palette}}}}} : eff
  • {{ColorAtys|type=bg|group={{{palette}}}}} : eff
  • {{ColorAtys|type=bg|group={{{palette}}}}} : eff
  • {{ColorAtys|type=light|group={{{palette}}}}} : cff
  • {{ColorAtys|type=dark|group={{{palette}}}}} : 366

so.. we have here four colors :-) only.

CSS

In css one of the ways to represent colors is: #EEFFFF. Lets stick to that, as it is more flexible equivalent of #EFF. Ok back to code: {{ColorAtys|type=bg|group={{{palette}}}}}. This call is very flexible. Imo WAY TOO flexible! :-) If we are looking for a layout that is consistent, easy on eyes and looks clean, we should/must restrict flexibility in favor of style.
That's one consideration. Another one is readability of code. That template:
{{ColorAtys|type=bg|group={{{palette}}}}} has two parameters and you can find it ONLY in one place in code: where color code have to be.
So, for example, in here: style="background:#{{ColorAtys|type=dark}}; same as here: style="color:#{{ColorAtys|type=light}}". So what we actually want is: style="background:{{BackGroundColor}}; and: style="color:{{Color}}".
