Easydiscuss is working with themes stored in media/com_easydiscuss.
I would like to adjust the color #888 from variable @fd-ui-meta-color stored in file media/com_easydiscuss/styles_lib/variables/variables.less

I notice the presence of a gulpfile, but package.json is missing. How can I compile the adjusted less files into css? Can you provide us with the package.json? Or another clean way to adjust the theme.
Hello,

You can use https://prepros.io to compile the LESS file.

Sorry... was not asking for an app to compile the less file.
I would like to receive the package.json to let PHP Storm compile the LESS file.

or... another clean way to alter the theme. With a new release of the extension my changes will be removed.

solved the issue:

- created a function in my template to unload the com_easydiscuss css
- copied the less files from /media/com_easydiscuss/theme/<chosen-theme> to my template
- change variables to meet my requirements. (for instance...
@fd-ui-meta-color: #585858; instead of
@fd-ui-meta-color: #888; since the contrast is too low)
- created a function to conditional load the new com_easydiscuss css.
