custom/themes/custom.less not parsed

Nagy Zoltan

I try to add our companies branding (colors, spacing, logo etc) to a sugarCRM v12 instance. I created a custom.less file in custom/themes and I tried to modify some of the predefined variables. Namely, like this:

@primaryContentBackground : linear-gradient(to right, #017588, #026f85);
@navbarBackground : @primaryContentBackground;

I did a quick repair, clear cache, refresh and.. nothing. No change, the file is simply ignored. What am I doing wrong (PS: in V12 the recomanded way of customizing CSS changed a bit compared to v10)

    The navbar background is overrided by the value in styleguide/themes/clients/base/default/variables.php

    In Sugar 12 you can add a custom file to override its value for light mode:

    <?php
    #custom/themes/clients/base/default/variables.php
    $lessdefs = array(
        'colors' => array(
            'NavigationBar' => "#017588",
        )
    );

    I am not sure if you can make it works with a gradient (it failed on my first attempt).

    I am not sure why the @primaryContentBackground does not work, sorry, I usually changes css from javascript.
    Changing the light theme value does works but probably changes more backgrounds than the ones you are targeting.

    body.sugar-light-theme,
.sugar-light-theme {
  // Indicate to the browser to use system colour scheme for radio buttons and dropdowns
  color-scheme: light;

  --primary-content-background: linear-gradient(to right, #017588, #026f85);
}

    AHHH you need to specify the entire hierarchy and  the fact you are changing the light scheme for the modification to kick in? I will try your way, until now I only specified the class/variable. Do you have a resource where I can see this hierachy? For example I had no idea I need $lessdefs and colors in variables.php (that is the second thing I will try)
