The problem is that we cannot use velocity in the Flamingo Theme's advanced
section, so we cannot write @import "$xwiki.getSkinFile('advanced.less')";So this means we need to go to the file where all the LESS files get imported. This means "less/style.less.vm". There you need to add your custom .less file, in our case I've called it "advanced.less", do it by writing '@import "advanced";' at the end of the import list. Now be careful, since you are overwriting this file, if you are going to make an upgrade, you need to backport the official changes of this file to your custom skin. Now you need to add the advanced.less file to your skin. Add it in the overrides section, having the /less folder prefix, since there we expect all LESS files to be present. In order to be easier to follow I've created a screenshot of a very small change I've made (the body text should be colored blue), see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ColorThemeforFlamingo/advancedLess.png So in conclusion you need to add 2 overrides to your skin (I've made my changes to XWiki.DefaultSkin in order to test), for "less/advanced.less" (where you will have your code) and "less/style.less.vm" (where you need to copy the standard content of that file from the flamingo folder in your file system + add the import to your custom less). The changes you will have in advanced.less will be applied globally to your skin, independent of the current Flamingo Theme.
