Customize Theme

Do you mean not replacing the whole “pre-compiled” theming feature entirely, and rather keep the themes as they are (they can be more “powerful” indeed since they can override classes completely e.g. add rounded borders, drop shadows etc.) and use this technique to allow the user to override some of the theme’s provided variables (colors mainly)?

Yes, that was my initial thought. On the other hand, I’d love to see third party themes in a single something.theme.json file or even a CSS file with a strict structure (:root and whatnot).
You can easily utilize CSS custom properties for border-radius/fonts/etc. as well.

This way we could let people just focus on theming stuff like this without the hassle of setting up the dev environment.

So let’s leave LESS fallbacks for now and after I’m done with my proof of concept, we can discuss further steps with this Who knows, maybe it’d be beneficial to get rid of precompiled themes altogether?

Best,
