- based on a patch by frederik.feichtmeier <frederik.feichtmeier@gmail.com> I'm certain this is something we had initially, but can't recall why we got rid of it for the more visually distracting dashed line. We can always revert when Lapo shows up and slams us with that broken use case. I'm guessing non-white bgs. - So far it looks way less distracting than the dashed line |

Summary
-------
* Do not edit the CSS directly, edit the source SCSS files
* To be able to use the latest/adequate version of SASS, install sassc
* The configure script will detect whether or not you have sassc installed;
if you do, it will regenerate the CSS every time you modify the SCSS files
and rebuild GTK+.
How to tweak the theme
----------------------
Adwaita is a complex theme, so to keep it maintainable it's written and processed in SASS. The
generated CSS is then transformed into a GResource file during GTK+ build and used at runtime in a
non-legible or editable form.
It is very likely your change will happen in the _common.scss file. That's where all the widget
selectors are defined. Here's a rundown of the "supporting" stylesheets, that are unlikely to be the
right place for a drive by stylesheet fix:
_colors.scss - global color definitions. We keep the number of defined colors to a necessary minimum,
most colors are derived form a handful of basics. It covers both the light variant and
the dark variant.
_colors-public.scss - SCSS colors exported through gtk to allow for 3rd party apps color mixing.
_drawing.scss - drawing helper mixings/functions to allow easier definition of widget drawing under
specific context. This is why Adwaita isn't 15000 LOC.
_common.scss - actual definitions of style for each widget. This is where you are likely to add/remove
your changes.
You can read about SASS at http://sass-lang.com/documentation/. Once you make
your changes to the _common.scss file, GTK+ will rebuild the CSS files.
