I sometimes noticed that the default color palette I had chosen for my default theme changed, even though I was pretty sure I hadn’t changed it. My staff action logs also showed no change or, more specifically, only the records that I had to change it back. All changes were from “WCAG Light” to “Pink.”
Now I found out what changed the color palette: When I re-run the setup wizard, the color palette can be changed without a record in the staff action logs. For me, it would have been very helpful if this change was logged. When you change your site from being private to public, the change of the site setting is logged. However, if you change the homepage, the style of the /categories page, or the color palette, the changes aren’t logged.
While reading the getting started guide, I had the impression it was safe to re-run the wizard to choose a different homepage and style of the /categories page.
But every time I used it, I accidentally changed the color palette and noticed days later because I still had “Pink” in my preferences.
While in other cases the current setup is shown in the wizard, my color palette is not. Maybe it’s because it’s a custom one which is not available in the dropdown. However, I think a different outcome would be better. Especially when you are not paying attention to the color palette because you are interested in a different setting, like the company name in step 6, you might click through step 5 quite fast without noticing that this changes the color palette.
