Define some Variables

E.g Main Brand Color

• Brand Name (maybe this could be the rails app name)
• Brand Logo

This way the style guide can be more related to the user's brand

If you place a copy of the engine provided layout file into app/views/layouts/mountain_view.html.erb then Rails should pick that up before the engine layout and use that. You can then modify that as you wish.

@OddEssay, sorry for not replying earlier. I've been away on holidays 100% disconnected the last month :)

That themed Styleguide looks awesome. Is the Styleguide public so I can check it out? If not, do you have a couple of screenshots?

Thanks!!!

@devnacho Nice excuse! ;)

We don't have a public version as such, but right now it can be accessed on a test url of https://morning-shore-9193.herokuapp.com/mountain_view/styleguide/ - Which will be there until it's not (Might be a week, might be a month).

At some point, we'll be writing up a blog post (And maybe a talk/presentation for some of the user groups we're involved with) on how we've used components (powered by mountain_view) and dig into some of the design principles we've used and the logic behind the direction we've taken some of the components.

If there is any bit's you like me to talk over how we did them, I'm more than happy to chat about them, and if there is a pattern you think might be useful to maybe make a version as an example, I'd be happy to submit a PR with that in it.

Hey @OddEssay thanks for sending the link. The style guide looks awesome. It makes me happy to see how other people are using the tool.

Feel free to put the link to your blog post here when you have it. I'm eager to read about the design principles you used with components and Mt.View.

I don't think I have any particular subject in mind. (Maybe @kitop...anything you want to add?)

Cheers!

Would be nice with a rails command to copy over the engine stuff, like rails mountain_view:copy_assets :)

[kitop]

@Frexuz great idea! Do you want to send a PR?

[Frexuz]

I can try, but not today :) Will start using MV later this week, can try then :)

Awesome, thanks!!!
