That's where most of the widget +selectors are defined. Here's a rundown of the "supporting" stylesheets, that are unlikely to be the +right place for a drive by stylesheet fix: + +_colors.scss - global color definitions. We keep the number of defined colors to a necessary minimum, + most colors are derived form a handful of basics. It covers both the light variant and + the dark variant. + +_colors-public.scss - SCSS colors exported through gtk to allow for 3rd party apps color mixing. + +_drawing.scss - drawing helper mixings/functions to allow easier definition of widget drawing under + specific context. This is why Adwaita isn't 15000 LOC. + +_common.scss - actual definitions of style for each widget. This is where you are likely to add/remove + your changes. + +You can read about SASS at http://sass-lang.com/documentation/. Once you make your changes to the +_common.scss file, you can either run the ./parse-sass.sh script or keep SASS watching for changes as you +edit. This is done by running `bundle exec sass --watch --sourcemap=none .` If sass is out of date, or is +missing, you can install it with `bundle install`. -- cgit v1.2.3
