Create a Theme
UI personalization and customization has made me curious on the limits to which we can go by giving users certain controls - and, more interestingly, when we don't have to. Most UI theming mechanisms provide a limited, strictly-defined amount of choices. What if we could give users full control of the theme in an interface?
I've been experimenting with ways to which we could give users fluid customization abilities, but provide them enough rails as to not degrade their experience.
I'm still playing around with this idea and gathering feedback, but by using Lyft Design's Colorbox tool and the algorithm they've crafted, we can create palettes on-the-fly using minimal inputs.
To provide some rails for the user, I included a way to gauge when parts of the theme aren't matching certain WCAG requirements as well.
I'd love to hear what you think
