What, exactly, does theme_highlight_fg mean, abstracted from the css? I say, basically nothing. And if it did mean something, it would be difficult to say what it means that would be more clear than actually tweaking the css. Imo, the goal of "tweaking" themes this way is misguided. For sure it will obscure the css. Imo, it would be better to base a new theme from an old one by using the user style sheet. Don't remember its name. This way the tweaks are expressed as css, without indirection and without fuss. > it makes no sense to change > > @color solarized-orange = #ffaa22 > to > @color solarized-orange = black > I agree. That's a recipe for instant confusion and lasting maintenance nightmares. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
