I now use the custom CSS feature in all my Gantry projects ("mycustomstyle"). Because Gantry "compiles" this file in with the other CSS files, I'd like to suggest a helpful addition to this compilation process...
I just read this article on preprocessing CSS files: www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/12/06/usin...marter-style-sheets/ In short, it allows one to use variables, operations, and some shortcut techniques like nesting classes. Then the processor ("LESS") converts the code into valid CSS. It would be very nice to have the ability to use variables for color, width, and size values.
Does Gantry do anything like this now or in the near future? Is this a feature that can be added in?
