Dataverse: Dataverse Theme - Child dataverses should not automatically inheret theme logo, tagline, text/background colors

[mheppler]

When creating a new dataverse under the root, the logo image, tagline and text/background colors of the root's theme are inherited by this new dataverse. That functionality was intended for use cases when creating a new child dataverse under my own dataverse, not in use cases where I am just a general user creating a new dataverse for the first time under the root.

For an example, I took a screenshot of a new dataverse that I was creating under the Harvard Dataverse, as a researcher affiliated with Yale University.

A potential solution would be to inherit the theme logo and text/background colors ONLY IF the user has the admin permissions to that parent dataverse. If you don't, then you get the default colors and no logo.

So this means:

• there are no Harvard Logos and gray boxes for Dataverses under the root.
• new dataverses only have a logo and custom background color if they are created by someone with admin permissions for the parent dataverse.
  If so, sounds good.

@TaniaSchlatter -- just to clarify one of your points, the default grey (#f3f3f1) theme header background color is a setting that would be an additional changed. We discussed the possibility of doing this, but wasn't sure if that was finalized or not. A suggestion you had made was no background color, or white (#ffffff).

Suggestion is for white. Please see the example screen shots attached.

This would not affect customizations:

The dataverses you want to look at, that are using child dataverses
effectively and correctly, are: IFPRI, Gates Foundation, world
agroforestry https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataverse/icraf
A number of child dataverses you encounter should actually be information
included in the metadata and displayed as facets (PSI, Murray, etc...)

I am closing this issue in favor of two new issues due to this issue getting wider in scope than originally intended.

The first issue is the original bug that I was trying to report, but didn't due with the correct information. That has been clarified in the following issue, Add Dataverse - Root's theme logo mistakenly displayed when creating dataverse #4198.

The second issue is the new changes to the dataverse header layout, which are still be sorted. Those details can now be tracked in this new issue, Dataverse Header/Theme - New layout, default colors #4197.
