Use sass/less/etc
This would make creating themes a LOT easier, as you'd only have to tweak a few colours in most cases.
@MoOx even if it does, e.g. SASS provides useful functionality that won't ever be in CSS officially anyway.
I personally use SCSS all the time and would have no problem with using a preprocessor but unless it's 100% necessary (it may be, the CSS can get kinda verbose at times) we don't have to do this right now.
@eugene-bulkin fyi, it's Sass, not SASS. I used to use Sass everywhere, but now I'm using a good naming convention, and the only things I miss are variables (because now, we do have math, thanks to calc). But now I use myth, a futurproof way to use native CSS syntax, even if not totally implemented in all browsers.
And for theming something like Komanda, using simples variables should be more than enough.
That's true, but mixins are also very useful. I don't really care either way.
My opinion may be pretty unpopular but I don't care much for abstractions. If you use css classes properly I don't really see the purpose in variables, mixins etc. I look at sass/less etc like I look at coffeescript.. pointless crap push on the community via rails.
Also,, the whole nested css selector stuff is a nightmare to me.
With that said.. if the community wants it thats another story.. if variables will make themeing easier.. maybe we just create a boilerplate css templates people can use?
