Chapter 1: page 15 : Disabling Unneeded Modules

Description of Erratum

The book instructs you to disable the Color and Overlay modules. At press time, disabling the Color module left the Slate color in tact. However, Drupal has changed and this is no longer the case. Now it reverts to the default blue color.

Recommended Correction

In order to keep your site looking the way it should, you should leave the Color module enabled. Go ahead and disable the Overlay module as instructed.
