| Summary
 | |
| -------
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Do not edit the CSS directly, edit the source SCSS files and process them with SASS (run 
 | |
|   `./parse-sass.sh` when you have the required software installed, as described below)
 | |
| * To be able to use the latest/adequate version of sass, install ruby, gem, sass & bundle.
 | |
|   On Fedora F20, this is done with `sudo dnf install rubygems && gem install bundle && bundle install`
 | |
|   from the same directory this README resides in.

| How to tweak the theme
 | |
| ----------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Adwaita is a complex theme, so to keep it maintainable it's written and processed in SASS. The
 | |
| generated CSS is then transformed into a gresource file during gtk build and used at runtime in a 
 | |
| non-legible or editable form.
 | |
| 
 | |
| It is very likely your change will happen in the _common.scss file. That's where all 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 This is done by running `bundle exec sass --watch --sourcemap=none .` If sass is out of date, or is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`.
