Changing the Default Theme Colors

So it turns out that there are some minor color artifacts for the current version of
the octopress-genesis-theme.

I could not find a good way to override the settings without copying way too much of the
theme into the content repo. Really this is cross-poluting the content repo, with
the theme repo’s… but what can you do.

Copy the current theme settings
$ octopress ink copy theme
_plugins/theme directory after 'ink copy theme' command
config.yml

stylesheets

stylesheets/core

includes

layouts

templates

So then to keep the polution to a minimum, I deleted everything but the stylesheets/core1
directory after which _colors.scss and _sizes.scss could be customized. Once everything
is working locally, commit the changes to git, and deploy to github.

  1. Actually I had to restore config.yml from git since the “ink copy” overwrote it ↩
