Issue
I have 4 different css files that are identical except they use different colour schemes i.e. red, blue, green. At the start of my program a user chooses which colour scheme they want and then the corresponding css file is chosen. Is there a way to just have 1 css file and have all colour schemes located in that file then when a user chooses a scheme have each item in the css file have the chosen colour applied to them?
I am using javaFX 8.
Solution
As A Haworth mentioned, you can probably do something with CSS variables. I don't know how javaFX works, but hopefully you can do something similar to what I wrote below. I set a CSS variable to the body and then have jQuery change that variable when the user clicks the buttons.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").on("click", "#blue", function() {
$("body").css("--main-color", "blue");
});
$("body").on("click", "#red", function() {
$("body").css("--main-color", "red");
});
});:body {
--main-color: blue;
}
.div-1 {
background: var(--main-color);
