  I have gone brain dead - how do I use my theme's palette colors again? I went looking in the Wiki and could not find that answer.

  (Are the Palettes Still not implemented?) - edited sorry I looked at an old reference.
  
  I did just find :
  http://community.zikula.org/index.php?module=Wiki&tag=ThemeTemplateVariables
  
  In which there is referencing :
  $palette - The name of the current palette
  
  How do I pull this variable in again? I am not great with the syntax there.
  
  Thanks in Advance,
  
  Paul

  my main reason for asking is I am trying to call a color from the palette in my style sheet and it is doing nothing as though the palette is not connected.
  What is the corresponding style call then for say, "color3" of the palette(X)?

  Hi!
  When you set a palette in the .ini of a theme, the values are loaded cleanly like: $color3. Insert a in any template under a default theme like andreas08, and you'll see the palette values there
  
  Greetings!

  Thanks Mateo.
  
  Is there any way to call it in the style sheet?

  Uh
  i'm afraid that no
  because the CSSs are not parsed by PHP...
  the use of the Theme palette is through ugly inline stylesheets, and it's almost deprecated (IMHO)... anyways, a "correct" use of it can be:
  

  Code

  <div style="background: <!--[$bgcolor|default:'transparent']-->">

  Default because the palette is optional and those values are not loaded in some cases

  thanks Mateo -
  it would be kinda cool if there was a plugin for the themes that could load a palette kinda the way the old, (old,old,old) theme.php did - but that is not my area, (the PHP.)
  
  thanks again - none the less -
  it is always quicker to work smart, and knowing this now I can just focus on my CSS
