Handling plot "themes" about mtheme HOT 6 CLOSED

I've had my eye on this too 👍

Even if \usepgfplottheme doesn't exist, we can still bundle off the pgfplots code into a little sub-package and include it with \RequirePackage. We can then call the package only when pgfplots is available, much like we currently \usefonttheme only under XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. This answer appears to show how to do that.

From #88:

Right now the pgfplot theme is tied to a particular color. Ideally we would have a pgf color theme, which could actually come from the color theme itself in order to provide consistency, and a structural theme, i.e. all those axes, legend and grid customizations.

I think it would be sufficient to define the set of colors in the plotcyclelist. Axes, legend, grid and so on seems to be working just fine already.

Screenshot created using the following color adjustments:

\definecolor{mBloodRed}{HTML}{FF0000}
\definecolor{mYellowBastard}{HTML}{EAF02C}

\setbeamercolor{normal text}{%
  fg=white,
  bg=black!90
}

\setbeamercolor{alerted text}{%
  fg=mBloodRed
}

\setbeamercolor{example text}{%
  fg=mYellowBastard
}

Which version of the theme are you working under? I briefly broke the behaviour of mbarplot on my branch, so if you have that checked out you may be seeing the default beamer colour-choosing behaviour. Perhaps this is a sign to drop the Tol colours from the theme altogether?

That was the current Master with your first patch in #88 applied. As I was focusing on the axis, and grid color I didn't recognize that it was broken.

So, what I wanted to show is that with respect to the axis, grid and legend colors it is already dependent on the beamer color normal text. So here is a new Screenshot (without broken mbarplot behavior):

I think after we split the pgfplotstheme into a separate file this is essentially solved and can be closed, right? Or are there still pending issues?

Or are there still pending issues?

Nope, absolutely right.
