There exists the concept of postprocessors in celerity: https://we.phorge.it/source/phorge/browse/master/src/applications/celerity/postprocessor/ These processors just build a variable map (based on the [[ https://we.phorge.it/source/phorge/browse/master/src/applications/celerity/postprocessor/CelerityDefaultPostprocessor.php$20 | default variables ]]) and then replaces an idiosyncratic variable syntax in all css files. It does exactly what [[ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_custom_properties | CSS variables ]] can do. My proposal: - ditch this postprocessor system - migrate all default variables in a css file, which is part of the core css package ```lang=css :root { ...variables } ``` - create an extra css file for every postprocessor to overwrite the css vars - wrap the information about these css files in a celerity theme class - replace all `{$var}` celerity embeddings in all css with var function: `var(--var)` - refactor the accessibilty selection int the display preferences to an selection of themes (maybe even multiple themes?) - embed the theme css files according to selection Future: - makes it possible for an extension to offer themes (which are for now only overwrites of the default css vars) What do you think about this idea?
