Hi,
this is something that has probably already been discussed but please
bear with me since I am new to Kallithea and mako. I've been wondering
about what would be the best way to make the Kallithea look
configurable. CSS is a bit annoying in this regard because it does not
support variables or anything of the sort. However it could be
possible to change the existing CSS and turn it into mako templates,
couldn't it? Then it would "just" be a matter of adding some UI to
select the colors of the different UI elements.
Would that make sense? Which drawbacks would there be?
The main drawback would be that the css no longer would be static and
thus is less trivial to cache - worst case the browser would have to
fetch it for every page load.
There are solutions to that, but we currently don't use those.
We try to make step towards cleaning up and following existing best
practice.
https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea/pull-requests/167/port-kallithea-theme-to-bootstrap-wip/diff
will take a big step in that direction.
(At Unity we currently just tweak style.css in one of the patches we
have on top of the upstream default branch.)
