    Stylesheet Separation

    Not so much as wish list as a suggestion.

    The actinic.css is filled with a fair amount of superfluous code depending on which theme is in place (this is not a thread about the quality of the CSS).... a lot of it can be deleted as not required. Would it be a better solution to place the outer layout design code into theme.css (which changes by theme) and only place common styling (h1, product_list etc) into the actinic.css. This could then also remove the styles in the <head> of the outer layout.

    Just a thought to help keep things cleaner and more organised.

      i think i threaded about this a while ago and was told to stfu.

      really for quality's sake, there should be at least three css files anyhow,
      - Structure
      - Design
      - Print

      But sadly, there is only 1. Shame on you Actinic, with your clunky css and no hope of ever listening to Jont and I.

      You make kittens cry.

        Hi John

        I went some way towards this with v9 in that all theme-specific stuff for the new themes (that are just used by that theme) are now in separate layouts - and you can remove them from the generated stylesheet by removing the layout selectors from the bottom of the 'Actinic Stylesheet' layout.

        In v9 the 'Actinic Stylesheet' layout just contains stuff which is used by more than one theme, and I did go through and put loads of comments in to explain where each style is used. So I totally understand it's not perfect, but it is a lot better than v8.

          If they could be conditional based on the theme in place that would be a further step in the right direction to remove the bloat and confusion.
