Twenty Eleven: add postMessage support for header_textcolor

[lancewillett]

Similar to Twenty Twelve and Twenty Thirteen, this would add immediate visual feedback in the Theme Customizer UI when header text is hidden, or its color value changes.

24128.diff​ should do the trick. Needs testing to see if it breaks any child themes since it changes a couple selectors.

Wow, this is more involved than I imagined. Let's bump to 3.7, too late for thorough testing before 3.6.

No signs of testing - move it back and commit it if you did, lance. :)

No movement, let's look at it after 4.0.

Tested, modified a little to suit the way most of the other twenty* themes format as well. Ran into the issue of when you chose not to have the text and tried to re-enable the text would not reappear. As it turns out it was the $header.hide() that was the culprit.

Tried with a child theme and no errors.

Applied patch to Rev 29493, and verified that postMessage works as advertised.

After discussing with Nick, he pointed out that the patch was created relative to the theme folder, and it should be re-worked to be created relative to the root.

An updated patch is forthcoming.

24128.2 applied relative to the root directory

[jcastaneda]

Yes, thank you for catching that.

Tested the patch and it seems the postMessage is working in the Customizer but I noticed that the padding-right applied by #branding .only-search + #access div ul rule is making the main menu smaller in smartphones: ​https://cloudup.com/iufYxgz6r01. Adding padding-right: 0 in the proper responsive rule will fix it.

[lancewillett]

@jartes Can you add a refreshed patch please?

[lancewillett]

Tested .4 patch and works as expected. Includes minor small-screen fix as mentioned by jartes -- adding a new rule for small screens solves it.
