4 * Do not edit the CSS directly, edit the source SCSS files and process them with SASS (run
|
|
|
5 `/.parse-sass.sh` when you have the required sofwtare installed, as described below)
|
|
|
6 * To be able to use the lates/adequate version of sass, install ruby, gem, sass & bundle.
|
|
|
7 On Fedora F20, this is done with `sudo dnf install rubygems && gem install bundle && bundle install`

10 How to tweak the theme
|
|
|
11 ----------------------
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
13 Adwaita is a complex themes, so to keep it maintainable it's written and processed in SASS, the
|
|
|
14 generated CSS is then transformed into a gresource file during gtk build and used at runtime in a
|
|
|
15 non-legible or editable form.
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 It is very likely your change will happen in the _common.scss file. That's where all the widget
|
|
|
18 selectors are defined. Here's a rundown of the "supporting" stylesheets, that are unlikely to be the
|
|
|
19 right place for a drive by stylesheet fix:
|
|
|
20
|
|
|
21 _colors.scss - global color definitions. We keep the number of defined colors to a necessary minimum,
|
|
|
22 most colors are derived form a handful of basics. It covers both the light variant and
|
|
|
23 the dark variant.
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
25 _colors-public.scss - SCSS colors exported through gtk to allow for 3rd party apps color mixing.
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
27 _drawing.scss - drawing helper mixings/functions to allow easier definition of widget drawing under
|
|
|
28 specific context. This is why Adwaita isn't 15000 LOC.
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 _common.scss - actual definitions of style for each widget. This is where you are likely to add/remove
|
|
|
31 your changes.
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 You can read about SASS at http://sass-lang.com/documentation/. Once you make your changes to the
|
|
|
34 _common.scss file, you can either run the ./parse-sass.sh script or keep SASS watching for changes as you
|
|
|
35 edit. This is done by running `bundle exec sass --watch --sourcemap=none .` If sass is out of date, or is
|
|
|
36 missing, you can install it with `bundle install`.
