An alternative to Solution 1, step 2 (ovewriting the "less/style.less.vm") you could try this:
Solution B: 1. In your skin, add the "less/advanced.less", as in http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ColorThemeforFlamingo/Advanced_step1.png 2. in your Flamingo Theme, add a SSX object, with Content Type: LESS (if you need velocity, you can make it parsable + I've made it global for the whole wiki, but you can manually call it) and write "@import("advanced.less");". Apparently the LESS compiler is looking only on files that are in the flamingo/less file system folder. So that's all you need to write, see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ColorThemeforFlamingo/Advanced_step2B.png So besides this "less/advanced.less" you can break your code in as many file as you need.
