GSS mixin restricted ?

I don't like repeating myself, but I do with a certain slide-in effect that I use a lot for different css class selector. Below the css snippet for the effect. How to use this in a kind of mixin method with the class name as parameter ? Or is there some other way to not repeat myself too much..

If you rewrite a bit your gss by defining conditionals inside the selector, you will be able to extract them in mixins: @defmixin successSelect() { @if is("browser.engine", "webkit") { -webkit-transform: translate(-40%, 0); -webkit-transition: transform 1s, opacity 2s; } @elseif is("browser.engi

You should also add the standard CSS rule to each if statement. If you don't do so your CSS is brittle as you never know when vendor prefixed CSS rules are removed from the corresponding browser. So always do @if is("browser.engine", "webkit") { -webkit-transform: translate(-40%, 0); -webki

Not exactly because the css files are typically served from the war file. You could of course host them on a CDN so that you don't have to redeploy your war (but then you need an internet connection and your application will depend on it to have the CSS, which i find OK only if your application is

Hi Jens, True that HexaCss allows for theme switching, but it is only a side effect of what it really allows : to have multiple css files bound to the same gwt application, without needing to recompile the application. For example, you might want to rebrand your application for another customer,

Thanks @Jens for your feedback. It's true, also thought about just removing these @if's such that I only use the "correct" browser css rule. It's simple getting a bit too much, the advantage isn't that big, and it's not improving maintainability. So reasons enough to keep it "simple" like you expla

Well, the idea is that you have a product used by multiple customers that's deployed as a WAR file, but the customers want to be able to do their own customizations on the style for branding, style consistency, etc. They may not have Java developers or Java developer tools, but understand styl

Have a look at the RedHat Errai templating mechanism. Errai is setup in modules (jar's), so you can use only the parts you need. And easy to extend/fork parts you need. The idea is that you load the css/html dynamically when needed in the app (through annotations). These html/css snippets/pages ca

I would probably just serve the CSS using a servlet that fetches the CSS from database based on the current customer. The app would then have a small UI to update the CSS in the database. If you don't need to give customers full control but just want to allow them to change logo / colors then I

Cool, but sometimes CSS is not about just colors ! You may want to change the structure of the CSS between themes. For example one theme would have the checkboxes styled so they look as iOS ones (through some known CSS tricks with ::content and so on) and other times you might want them to appear
