ANSWERED: Known bug, cannot be fixed without overrides/layer edits.
I was testing out layouts/themes earlier, and on several, the navstrip was coded to match the theme. This is not a choice I like, but different strokes. I figured I could just reset the strip to default.
However, when I attempted to change the setting in Customize -> Display, it didn't work. I changed the radio button to the light grey gradient, saved changes, and no change happened. Same when I switched back to the dark grey gradient. It's still showing as the theme colors. (I'm currently using Bolt for Corinthian on my testing journal, but it's happened on every theme I tried that had pre-selected custom navstrip colors.)
There's this line on the page - You can customize the color of the navigation strip on your journal. - but there is no option to stop the customized colors if they're embedded into the theme. At least, not one that I can locate.
Is this a bug or a feature? How can I tell the site to stop showing customized navstrip colors on the theme I choose? I only want the default dark grey navstrip, no matter what layout/theme I select.

Date: 2012-11-15 02:27 am (UTC)Basically the text appears that you can customize the color of the navstrip because we have some core2 functions that let you do this. These have actually never been enabled, I suspect in part because they're not 100% functional. So a bunch of layouts hardcode color variables in, and the only real way to get the default back is to manually edit the layer to remove that CSS (or do a whole pile of overrides).
...AKA this is a Known Bug :c

Is this something that is worth altering the wording on the customize page and/or notating in the layout-selection wizard, for values of long-term-low-priority bug fixage? So that there's less potential user frustration from running into this?

And it'd probably be a null point - I'm really really pushing to get the navstrip coding fixed for the next big code push, which is probably when any wording changes would go live. It's probably like 80% patched right now, but I took a small break this week to push at the new comment page *g*
