Just wish such a plugin could change color scheme of image files too. The theme I use relies on images in some spots and thats one thing I can’t do is modify image files due to visual limitations 🙁 They don’t teach graphical design in web development class because thats considered the art department I guess. like how can you not design a site without graphics of some sort? 🙂
There are plenty of great themes out there which are entirely CSS-based with no images, like the upcoming Twenty Thirteen theme, Minimalizine, Publish, Responsive, and Oxygen (just a few image icons with neutral colors).
I can’t live without JetPack and YARPP.. They’ve been helping me around since long and its always nice seeing them being updated at regular intervals.
Syntax Highlighter has also been with me since long.. Hehe!! Seems like this update days was dedicated to me 😛
