Default theme will be loaded regardless of theme.config

Help Wanted

What i’m trying to do is have the FUI primary color be bounded to a css var(), the main issue is the usage of pre-processing functions. So what i did is to copy the site.variables of the default them and copied it to /site/globals/site.variables and modified every primary related var to a css var(), like this: @linkColor : var(--accent-link-color); @primaryBackground : var(--accent-bg-color); I then went ahead and tried to compile and got the following:

{ [Error: error evaluating function darken: color.toHSL is not a function in file /home/yahav/fomantic_themeColors/semantic/src/themes/default/globals/site.variables line no. 145] message: 'error evaluating function darken: color.toHSL is not a function in file /home/yahav/fomantic_themeColors/semantic/src/themes/default/globals/site.variables line no. 145', stack: undefined, type: 'Runtime', filename: '/home/yahav/fomantic_themeColors/semantic/src/themes/default/globals/site.variables', index: 3383, line: 145, column: 23, callLine: NaN, callExtract: undefined, extract: [ '@linkUnderline : none;', '@linkHoverColor : darken(saturate(@linkColor, 20), 15, relative);', '@linkHoverUnderline : @linkUnderline;' ], lineNumber: 145, fileName: '/home/yahav/fomantic_themeColors/semantic/src/themes/default/globals/site.variables', name: 'Error', plugin: 'gulp-less', showProperties: true, showStack: false, __safety: { toString: [Function: bound ] } }

so i created a new theme folder, basically copied the default theme and renamed it, i then copied the /site/globals/site.variables file to this new theme’s site.variables and changed every occurrence of ‘default’ at theme.config to the new theme’s name. and yet, i still get the same error which means FUI is trying to compile the themes/default/globals/site.variables file although i have defined the new theme AND have a site/globals/site.variables file overriding it a well.

I can simply overwrite the default theme site.variables and it will work (i had this same setup when i was using SUI) but it won’t be wise. Any ideas?

@Yahav

you totally ruined you’ve damaged

Hey,that is not respectful way to communicate with people. Even contributors, those who are dedicating themselves to maintain spirit of SUI, sometimes made a wrong design choice accidentally that may break some use case. Contributors do not intend to damage SUI.

I haven’t been able to make the:

custom/site.variables //(var(–) in “good” order

part as well, had to rewrite the entire default/site.variables. There must be a way, otherwise, what good is a theme system. updated my git to showcase the successful build when overriding the default theme as opposed to trying to use the theme system: https://github.com/Yahav/fomanticUiColorSystem/
