Hi Marius,

For them, I have written a retro-compatibility component that computes the color themes variables from the style.css generated by Flamingo. It actually does a mapping between bootstrap variables and old color theme variables. It is not perfect, but at least it does not break the whole UI. > Does FlamingoThemeCode.ThemeClass > have completely different properties? I hope not.

Then, the new theme editor will propose to customize a set of variables specific to bootstrap, just like: http://fancyboot.designspebam.com/ We are exposing the BS variables because it is flexible and powerful. Mixing old color theme variables and bootstrap variables will not resulting to a consistent set of variables, so that is why I am proposing to separate the 2 cases. BTW, old color themes are still compatibles with Flamingo, because we have a binding between the old color theme variables and the bootstrap variables, but it is far from perfect. > > Also, > https://github.com/gdelhumeau/xwiki-platform/commit/49aca5733f4a820f3d1327c76a7229781886dddf#diff-112 > shows that FlamingoThemeCode.ThemeClass has only two properties? > body-bg and text-color, both present with a different name in > ColorThemeClass. > When I have posted the link above, I only wanted to show you the modifications done on SkinAction.java. Of course, ThemeClass will not have only two properties! This commit is a first step to have a proof of concept. If you want to have the list of bootstrap variables, you could see there: http://getbootstrap.com/customize/#less-variables Of course we won't expose all these variables: it would be confusing for the end user. We have to chose some of them. If the user wants to customize variables that are not exposed, she can do that with the textarea field where she can write LESS code. > > Thanks, > Marius > > On Wed, Jun 11, 2014 at 6:43 PM, Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi devs. > > > > I am implementing the Color Theme Editor for Flamingo!
