In Evelution, you have the ability to customize the layout by just creating a new theme thanks to its Color Management feature. While Evelution comes with many, you can also disable Color Management and fall back to system colors either by Selecting the No Color Management mode in the Visual Colors dropdown (Contains the
invert_colors_off
icon, dropdown link has thepalette
icon) or by putting$wgEvelutionDisableColorManagement = true;
in LocalSettings.php.When you disable Color Management, you:
$wgEvelutionDisableColorManagement
is set totrue
)Forced Colors Mode builds upon DCM but with more restrictions:
Base Styling
Under Chrome, the base DCM theming is this:

But we can change this thanks to the DCM Modes Dropdown which is the last option in the floating actions dropdown:

Enabling Accents
You can also enable Luna Lavccent in DCM. Here's how it looks with that enabled:

Changing Colors
If you don't like the base colors we give, you can change how system colors are used. Note that with this, you cannot change the color of Canvas, Canvas Text and Inactive Text. Here's how it looks with the other seven DCM Modes:







Going Dark
You can also go to dark mode with two ways:
The former emulates dark mode with the existing system colors while the latter modifies the system colors as a whole. Here's screenshots that demonstrate both:

To sum up
Disabled Color Management mode is great if you don't plan to use either the Stock Evelution themes or you don't want to create your own custom theme for Evelution. This can also be used while you don't have DCM forced and a similar ones appears while using a High Contrast Theme on your system. This mode is also useful if you want to use your System's theme (Windows Users, this is for you). And if you don't want to disable it for the whole wiki, you can at least enable this for yourself by selecting the No Color Management option from the Visual Colors dropdown (Appears after the Standard one).
Here's how System Colors are mapped between the eight DCM Modes and two DCM Types:
