DocPensieve
Making it yours
Two modules in, the site works. It also looks exactly like everyone else's.
This module changes that in three passes: the colours it wears, the way a reader moves through it, and the blocks that stop a reader who is about to make a mistake.

The lessons
Colours
Give the site your palette — one token in the configuration, the dark scheme in a file of your own.
Navigation
Forty pages a reader can move through — a menu that folds, links in the header, and a row of links inside a page.
Callouts
Stop a reader who is about to make a mistake — six kinds of block, kinds of your own, and a mark to go with them.
