Hi Carlos, Ideally, all variants of the main theme can be expressed in a single CSS file. I would hope you would be willing to make trade-offs to make that so. I think the main theme can be a SWC and contain assets only used by a single variant. Sort of like a central library. Then the variant's CSS would describe new CSS and new URLs for assets from the main theme SWC.
IOW, blueIcon and redIcon would be in JewelTheme.SWC. And JewelBlue.css would reference blueIcon.png. Then it would be a rare case that a variant theme needs to be part of the build (assuming we can figure out how to make a single CSS file a Maven artifact). Then it wouldn't be like the examples folder. And if you need to run Maven deploy on those CSS files, I think that could also be in a Maven profile and only run when you need it. Of course, I could be wrong... -Alex On 4/9/18, 10:25 AM, "carlos.rov...@gmail.com on behalf of Carlos Rovira" <carlos.rov...@gmail.com on behalf of carlosrov...@apache.org> wrote: >Hi Alex, > >not sure if we are talking about the same problem.
