It's becoming clearer to me that "indirect css" is just misguided. An
example should make this clear.
Here is part of the new, simplified, direct, css node for the status area:
QLineEdit#status1[style_class ~= 'info'],
QLineEdit#status2[style_class ~= 'info'] {
background: @solarized-blue;
color: @solarized-white;
}
QLineEdit#status1[style_class ~= 'fail'],
QLineEdit#status2[style_class ~= 'fail'] {
background: @solarized-red;
color: @solarized-white;
}
This simple description results from *eliminating* four @color settings.
The old way was something like this:
QLineEdit#status1[style_class ~= 'info'],
QLineEdit#status2[style_class ~= 'info'] {
background: @blah_blah_blah1;
color: @blah_blah_blah2;
}
QLineEdit#status1[style_class ~= 'fail'],
QLineEdit#status2[style_class ~= 'fail'] {
background: @blah_blah_blah3;
color: @blah_blah_blah3;
}
:-)
The old way *obscures* these settings! We don't know what colors the
"blah_blah_blah" settings mean!
Unlike politicians, I have the luxury of admitting my mistakes. In fact, I
am thrilled to see that a scheme that I thought was clever was actually
really stupid :-)
