CSS Files


AdminPlus uses couple of stylesheets to control visual apperance. There are stylesheets from Twitter Bootstrap, default theme stylesheets, skin stylesheets, and plugin stylesheets.

bootstrap/css/<file>.css 		// Twitter Bootstrap Stylesheets
theme/css/<file>.css 			// Default Stylesheets
theme/skins/css/<skin>.css 		// Skin Stylesheets
theme/scripts/<plugin>/css/<file>.css 	// Plugin stylesheets

LESS is MORE


First of all, you may ask: What the <beep> is LESS? Well, LESS is The dynamic stylesheet language.

LESS extends CSS with dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations and functions. LESS runs on both the client-side (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and server-side, with Node.js and Rhino, but for our purpose, we will use the client-side less.js compiler for FAST and SMART deveopment and for production, we'll convert and minify the LESS files to the regular CSS by using a local compiler, like WinLess.

The LESS files


theme/less/mixins.less 			// Common Mixins
theme/less/style.less 			// Default Stylesheet
theme/skins/less/<skin>.less 		// Skin Stylesheet

Don't worry! If you never worked with LESS before, we assure you it's not that big of a step from CSS. Actually, after you start working LESS, you'll never look back. Also, it has a really great documentation.

Scripts


AdminPlus uses many 3rd party plugins & scripts, as well as custom ones. There are scripts from Twitter Bootstrap, jQuery & plugins, Modernizr, custom scripts, etc. They are all located in theme/scripts/. For more information about external scripts reffer to
