When you open Easy Color Scheme Manager, there are grids that show all of the backgrounds, borders, etc., and they are listed by their name, and what color they are before any editing. Is there anything to show where these names are on the template when you view it. Default_Font_Color is an easy one to find, but where or what is a Post_Moderation_Background_Color, or a Breadcrum_Border_Color? Is my only option to just change something and then look to see what was changed?

These questions are best asked in the thread for the individual mod, so don't be suprised if this gets merged onto my ECM mod thread.
Anyways, these variables are used througout the template files. To find a specific variable, you could do a search for it within the .tpl files in your template folder. It may be just as easy to see the changes as you suggested.
Due to the nature of the variables being used in multiple places throughout the template files, I don't know that there will ever be an exact listing of where each variable occurs.

Sorry, but what does "You will not be able to create background images properly as there were no default images from which to establish dimensions" mean? What do I do to resolve this please?
I've searched for this error but couldn't find any more info.
Apart from this minor hiccup, the module seems very useful, thank you!

That error is given if the module is unable to create the necessary images (the gradient bars and the gradient message background). It comes up if you do not have those images available in your template or if you do not have the necessary GD support enabled for PHP. The color schemes you create will work, but you will have to add your own gradient images (or remove them and use solid colors set in the module).

Thanks for the speedy response!
I have GD enabled on my server, and in fact, your module has created my graphic here:
However, the graphic doesn't show in my phorum, although the colour changes do.
Many thanks,

How can I check this please? I am running an ever-so-slightly modified Emerald template - no files have been deleted.Quote
It comes up if you do not have those images available in your template

Do you still have the emerald template installed in the emerald folder, or did you rename the folder?

I copied the whole folder, then renamed the info file. The ECS module seems to recognise it OK and can update its colours.
I've tried wiping the cache too, but the error about default images is still shown.

Hmm, looking at your site, the images should be available to the mod. Try this from the README:
If completely resetting the data doesn't do it, then the only other issue can be that the mod is unable to use the imagecreatefrompng function.

A note for those of you upgrading. As a last case resort, You may find it easier to simply start your color schemes over from scratch if you run into problems. To do so, please open the settings for this module then paste the following into your web browsers address bar after the page information that is there: &erase_easy_colorscheme=VERITABLY The address should look something like: http://www.yourweb.com/admin.php?module=modsettings&mod=easy_colorscheme&erase_easy_colorscheme=VERITABLY Now hit ENTER and this will erase all of your color scheme settings. Please note this is irreversible so only do this if you have the need. You can then rebuild your color schemes and they should work just fine.I would suggest erasing the images from the mods tmp_images folder as well.
If completely resetting the data doesn't do it, then the only other issue can be that the mod is unable to use the imagecreatefrompng function.

Sorry for the delay in responding, I haven't had time to revisit this until now.
I tried wiping the settings and redoing everything and it now works. I'm still not sure what the problem was. but many thanks for the help.
