CSS Macros

Due CSS 3, there is no need to this project

CSS Macros, small engine macros.php, so you can take the theme as good exapmple how to write css with macro.

Commands and macros to change the CSS.

/wp_metallic//inc/macros.php

When build your css you need to repeat your colors, or make a color depend on another one, lighter, darker or mix it. then remodifing your css will be so hard, CssMacros read the commands that started with $ like $get, $mix, and replace it with the real value that set before by $set or $def or with ini block.

Examples: Set the color and return the same value.

color: $set(mycolor, #000);

You can use $def instead of $set but $def not return any value.

$def(mycolor, #000)

Get the color from the variable

color: $get(mycolor); 
color: $change(mycolor);

Get it and make it lighten or darken by +10, range 0..100

color: $lighten(mycolor, 10); 
color: $change(mycolor, 10); make it lighten +10, rabge 100..0..100
color: $darken(mycolor, 10); make it darken +10, range 0..100
color: $change(mycolor, -10); range 100..0..100

Mix two of color, the range 100..0..100, 0 meant 50% from mycolor1 and 50% from mycolor2

color: $mix(mycolor1, mycolor2); mix 2 colors
color: $mix(mycolor1, mycolor2, 50);

To define the variables directly put it in $< and > (alone in a line), do not mix it with any text. notice that it is not a css it just like the ini file Examples:

$<
  back=#fff
  border=$mix(canvas_back, base, 80)
  background=$mix(canvas_back, base, 90)
  use_gradient=false
>

Also you can define a confition to execlude a bock of css the

$if(use_gradient)<
  border=$mix(canvas_back, base, 80)
  background: $mix(canvas_back, base, 90);
>

//Next example not tested yet//

$if(back, #fff)<
  border=$mix(canvas_back, base, 80)
  background: $mix(canvas_back, base, 90);
>

Disadvantages

You can not use nested commands like this :(

color: $lighten($mix(back, fore), 10);
