DONE - Pick a color scheme from http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/#themeGallery .

e.g., http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/#ffDefault=Segoe+UI,+Helvetica,+Arial,+sans-serif&fwDefault=bold&fsDefault=1.1em&cornerRadius=6px&bgColorHeader=9fda58&bgTextureHeader=12_gloss_wave.png&bgImgOpacityHeader=85&borderColorHeader=000000&fcHeader=222222&iconColorHeader=1f1f1f&bgColorContent=000000&bgTextureContent=12_gloss_wave.png&bgImgOpacityContent=55&borderColorContent=4a4a4a&fcContent=ffffff&iconColorContent=9fda58&bgColorDefault=0a0a0a&bgTextureDefault=02_glass.png&bgImgOpacityDefault=40&borderColorDefault=1b1613&fcDefault=b8ec79&iconColorDefault=b8ec79&bgColorHover=000000&bgTextureHover=02_glass.png&bgImgOpacityHover=60&borderColorHover=000000&fcHover=96f226&iconColorHover=b8ec79&bgColorActive=4c4c4c&bgTextureActive=01_flat.png&bgImgOpacityActive=0&borderColorActive=696969&fcActive=ffffff&iconColorActive=ffffff&bgColorHighlight=f1fbe5&bgTextureHighlight=02_glass.png&bgImgOpacityHighlight=55&borderColorHighlight=8cce3b&fcHighlight=030303&iconColorHighlight=000000&bgColorError=f6ecd5&bgTextureError=12_gloss_wave.png&bgImgOpacityError=95&borderColorError=f1ac88&fcError=74736d&iconColorError=cd0a0a&bgColorOverlay=262626&bgTextureOverlay=07_diagonals_small.png&bgImgOpacityOverlay=50&opacityOverlay=30&bgColorShadow=303030&bgTextureShadow=01_flat.png&bgImgOpacityShadow=0&opacityShadow=50&thicknessShadow=6px&offsetTopShadow=-6px&offsetLeftShadow=-6px&cornerRadiusShadow=12px

DONE -After picking & downloading a color scheme, integrate it into an installation of http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tw2.jquery & http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tw.uitheme in our virtualenv. This step is done with the theme named "Trontastic," but I think Mona picked a different theme than Trontastic, so she'll need to follow the instructions in revision 44, linked to below.

DONE - Document for other CaneyPUGgies members how they can install tw.jquery on the wiki: within your activated virtualenv (named "tg21env"), run "easy_install tw.jquery tw.uitheme".

DONE: Then figure out whether the color scheme needs to go into rcl/public (which I think is the case), or needs to go into tg21env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/tw.uitheme (which I doubt). Update: It only goes into rcl/public if we want to use a custom theme not included in tw.uitheme. More instructions on how to properly select a theme are here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~caneypuggies/reformedchurcheslocator/trunk/revision/44

Then either

1) apply the correct jQueryUI theme CSS classes to HTML elements throughout our templates to get that theme's colors & styles (this is the best method), or

2) hard-code the jQueryUI theme's colors into public/css/style.css (I really hope we don't have to use this method, because it will prevent us from easily switching to a new jQueryUI theme). If 2) is necessary, we may have to hard-code those colors into the Blueprint CSS .css files once we get to the point where we use Blueprint.

Use http://kuler.adobe.com to figure out what other colors coordinate with the chosen color scheme if we need to make highlights, etc.
