Description

There are two ways to specify navbar foreground and background colors: the "Navbar background color" checkboxes on the admin Look and Feel page and the "CSS class(es) for the menu nav element" on the admin-modules page. The Look and Feel checkbox value is used in all cases, though, so if that preference is set to "Dark", for example, to get a dark-background navbar for the main navigation, then every navbar instance assigned on the admin-modules page gets the CSS classes for "Dark". This causes a problem if, for example, a Light-background system menu is wanted in the footer. Then the CSS classes for the navbar are "navbar-light bg-light navbar-dark bg-dark". In my test, this caused light text on light background, so it's unreadable.

Unless I'm missing something, I think it would be good if the navbar color switch on the Look and Feel admin page was removed and the navbar color specified by the module only (maybe using a checkbox or radio buttons instead of inputting the class names as is required now), or else make the L&F switch apply only to the admin interface. This would be similar to moving the setting of the site logo and title from Look and Feel to the module admin page.
