Works fine, more-or-less

  • It does what it’s supposed to do, but I had some technical problems.

    First of all, the plugin only works with Twenty Fourteen theme, and didn’t recognized duplicated or child themes.

    Also it seems to use some algorithm to determine if the text should be bright or dark based on the custom background, which doesn’t work that well. It should be better if you could set it manually.

    It should work with any theme that is a child of Twenty Fourteen; specifically, it checks whether the template is twentyfourteen. The plugin obviously needs to not render anything if that’s not the active theme. If that isn’t working for you, please post on the plugin support forum.

    The algorithm to determine text color achieves color contrast that meets the bare minimum accessibility requirements, favoring the default scheme in Twenty Fourteen. If it had to be manually set, you would be making your site inaccessibile if you chose the non-default value, which would obviously be a very bad idea.

    This is a great plugin! Only trouble I found was in changing the content background colour – it won’t do it.

    Spent hours trying to find a solution in the forums, with no luck. I though FC had it, but no, at the bottom of the FAQ it notes that it can’t do it. Which took me a long time to find. Maybe good if Fourteen Colors let people know that it could not change this vital part of your theme?
