Dijit Claro Stylus Conversion

This repository contains a port of Dijit's Claro theme (as of Dojo version 1.8.1) from LESS to Stylus.

Note: a conversion for Dojo 1.7 is available on this repository's 1.7 branch.

Usage

To generate the CSS resources, install Stylus (e.g. using NPM), then within the directory this repository was cloned to, run...

stylus . form layout

Notes

The results of this conversion have been tested/vetted for accuracy via the following processes:

  • Compared CSS output of both LESS and Stylus for (near-)matching values
  • Compared diffs between 1.7.4 and 1.8.1's LESS against the corresponding diffs between the 1.7 and 1.8 conversions in this repository
  • Visually compared using dijit/themes/themeTester.html

Differences

The intent of this conversion is generally to maintain parity with the CSS output by Claro's LESS resources. To some extent there are minor differences, including blank lines, line breaks between multiple selectors, and off-by-one differences from BIFs such as saturate, lighten, and darken.

Any notable or intentional differences between Claro's LESS resources and the Stylus resources in this conversion are explained below.

Disabled Text Input Styles

There was a noticeable difference in the result of 2 calculations for disabled textbox/textarea styles for WebKit in form/Common.css, which have had their source values tweaked such that the resulting output matches the output from Claro's form/Common.less.

Linear Gradients

Styles for linear gradients include the standard linear-gradient property (supported by FF16+ and IE10+), and do not include the -ms-linear-gradient property (as it is only heeded by some preview releases of IE10).

This change will also be present in Dojo 1.8.2; see Dojo ticket 16250.

The alpha-white-gradient Mixin

The input argument format to the alpha-white-gradient mixin differs from the overloaded set of mixins in Claro's variables.less, in order to allow a single mixin to handle any number of arguments.

In variables.styl, the alpha-white-gradient mixin expects an optional direction followed by any number of tuples containing 2 values, the first being an alpha value and the second being the position within the gradient at which to apply it. For example:

alpha-white-gradient((0.3 0%), (0 100%))

Or, with a direction:

alpha-white-gradient(left, (0.3 0%), (0 100%))

Note that this does not affect the CSS output at all, only the styl files.
