Implementing multiple color mode switching is so simple! In HTML we can easily add the switching color style sheets as alternative style sheets.

Eg : <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="orange-theme" href="../css/orange.css" />

But when it comes to Drupal there is a slight change. Here is how we can implement multiple color switches in Drupal theme. We normally include style sheets in .info file and we cannot specify 'alternative stylesheets' just like in HTML. So here we need a module called Drupal 'Styleswitcher'. By enabling this Drupal module you will get the option 'styleswitcher' to add alternative style sheets.

For more details just follow these steps.

The getfacl command displays the access permissions of files and directories with file name, owner, group and the ACL's(Access Control List). When we create a directory it is created with a default set of access permissions and by using getfacl we will be able to see the access rights.
