Yeah the whole effect is done with transparencies and the Erase blend option (that makes any shape erase everything beneath it rather than being colored. There’s a “hole” cut through the background of the image that lets the color on the website behind it bleed through.
Her entire fill color is Erase (so the background color bleeds through 100%) while her outlines are a very dark black set to 50% transparency (so it tints the background color behind it). Her mane and tail I colored (as best as I could; I couldn’t get them 100%) to match the two title bar colors (Where it says “Derpibooru” and the search bar is) on both the themes.
The only parts of her that don’t change color at all are the eyes (Her irises are a gradient from the light theme title bar to the dark theme title bar) and the inside of her mouth :P
Put any color (or even patterns) behind her and you can change her color. Her mane’s color scheme is intended only for the two official Derpibooru themes of course so it won’t always match the title bars, but her body will match any theme.

My favorite ever was when Banjo Kazooie (Or maybe the sequel) had extra unused text in the code, located beside all the other level names, that read “Ridiculously Secret Area” (or something like that). It wasn’t dummied out or anything, but literally put in to prank game hackers.
Such things appeal not only to my sense of beauty, but also to my geekiness. Nice job. :)
Though apologies in advance to people using the custom Applejack theme and such.

Oh man that’s like Theme after she got an invincibility star.

Yeah it’s all done with partial transparencies and such. Her “fill” color’s blend mode is set to “erase” so it erases every layer below it completely (including the background). Hardest part was getting a color balance for the mane so it would match both theme’s banner colors (Where the search bar is). I never got it 100% but blending both theme’s colors and cranking the saturation got it reasonably close.
I’m going to make a “tutorial” of sorts to show how I do it, for anyone who’s interested in such things :P

She’s totally radical and drinks Ecto Cooler XD
Having a seizure.
What about now :D
Her personality changes with the site’s theme too. Right now she’s a raving communist XD
No, she’s just sick … greenly-sick.
That’s good enough.
Have a really crummy tutorial then :D

Ooh, I really like that version.
Here’s what she looks like with the Dark Twilight theme installed…
Let’s ponify everything on the site 😂

I’d have put it the other way around if I could XD
