* Do not edit the CSS directly, edit the source SCSS files and process them with SASS (run
|
|
`./parse-sass.sh` when you have the required software installed, as described below)
|
|
* To be able to use the latest/adequate version of sass, install sassc.

How to tweak the theme
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Adwaita is a complex theme, so to keep it maintainable, it's written and processed in SASS. The
|
|
generated CSS is then transformed into a gresource file during gtk build and used at runtime in a
|
|
non-legible or editable form.
|
|
|
|
It is very likely your change will happen in the _common.scss file. That's where all the widget
|
|
selectors are defined. Here's a rundown of the "supporting" stylesheets, that are unlikely to be the
|
|
right place for a drive by stylesheet fix:
|
|
|
|
_colors.scss - global color definitions. We keep the number of defined colors to a necessary minimum,
|
|
most colors are derived from a handful of basics. It covers both the light variant and
|
|
the dark variant.
|
|
|
|
_colors-public.scss - SCSS colors exported through gtk to allow for 3rd party apps color mixing.
|
|
|
|
_drawing.scss - drawing helper mixings/functions to allow easier definition of widget drawing under
|
|
specific context. This is why Adwaita isn't 15000 LOC.
|
|
|
|
_common.scss - actual definitions of style for each widget. This is where you are likely to add/remove
|
|
your changes.
|
|
|
|
You can read about SASS at http://sass-lang.com/documentation/. Once you make your changes to the
|
|
_common.scss file, you can either run the ./parse-sass.sh script or keep SASS watching for changes as you
|
|
edit.
