Started working on it, and already another question! It seems that I can't include a palette inside the theme, but instead may have to do it differently ???
My palette file looks like this: description: Sleek dark skin for tw5, based on primer.css! name: tw5-primer title: $:/palettes/tw5-primer tags: $:/tags/Palette type: application/x-tiddler-dictionary And palette code here... Any ideas for what's going on? I'm thinking maybe the palette may have to be defined inside the css file?? Thanks for your (continued) help!
