How can the template scss files be parametrisized

They can't unless Joomla requires an installation of Nodejs. That's the reason I asked couple weeks ago to move to css custom properties (variables). Later on people will understand what and more importantly why I was talking about but it will be too late to switch...

I think the Backend Template Style should not refer to any godness or god - even if the name is chosen so, it does not have to be explained in text.

Sorry but that is plain crazy

This information is completely useless as your comment.

We have too... Users are using custom colors for their backends. How can this be solved?

@brianteeman can you please explain the Reasons for your Opinion?

How can this be solved?

Either Joomla 4:

• will require a Nodejs and npm installation
• use css variables
• find someone to implement a WASM version of the scss compiler and patch the missing holes (eg autoprefixer)

The easiest way out is to use css variables. Also it's the platform, SCSS is not a language supported by the platform and that alone is a pretty good reason to just drop it (since in the PHP world there are no equivalent of node_scss or autoprefixer)!

@coolcat-creations actually there is one more option:

Keep the crappy overriding inline css that exist also in J3' ISIS:

• even more bloated code on top of the already huge css framework

But this actually reveals the true weakness of the system: it cannot provide a solid solution for properly spitting HTML and the relative CSS. HTML and CSS in Joomla are treated as unrelated products which is a great pitfall (that's the reason people like Bootstrap, it covers this weakness very well)...

@brianteeman can you please explain the Reasons for your Opinion?

Because removing the description of the name just because you dont like to see the word god written on the page is crazy. Just as removing the word Isis from Joomla 3 would be crazy

Thanks for your Comment @brianteeman, now i understand.

FWIW I see @mbabker' proposal as a solution to this ridiculous issue: Just use the name system or default for both templates. Joomla has nothing to do with the stars or the Egyptian Gods, this idea is totally stupid. Also I can't find a description of MacOS High Sierra or the Android Kit Kat, probably if these guys don't have to explain a name also Joomla doesn't have to as well. This is another of those creepy legacy ideas that some people feel very strongly about but in reality are totally outdated and plain stupid

Totally Agree to @dgrammatiko

Either the names and descriptions stay as is or the core templates in 4.0 are renamed "Joomla Administrator 4.0" and "Joomla Frontend 4.0" (or some even more generic names).

4.0 is terribly broken right now and we want to have yet another complaining session about a word in the name or description!? There are more than enough bugs to be fixed than dealing with the political correctness of whether "god", "master", or a handful of other words that social justice warriors want banned from everyday use.

funny ?
should be a virus in open source community, have seen quite the same in redis for master and slave

Sorry, but whats the harm in keeping the reference? It’s not relevant but it’s not harmful. Personally I enjoy little useless trivia like that, I find it interesting. /shrug

I wanted to take care of some people that always say that "religion" or at least "religious terms" should be seperated from software (at events and so on).
Seems in THIS spefic case the "opinion" is different.

Maybe we can start wishing a Merry Christmas again to some users in blogposts :-D

please keep your sarcastic comments to yourself
