Location of colors.json

[kloevschall]

I am unable to follow Noam's css Recipe 1 - Color Scheme from the handouts at New UI Hackathon / Virtual Conference: Dec. 12 - Dec. 16.

"Open the colors.json file in the root of your view folder" - I am only able to get this to work if the colors.json file is within the root of the development environment. Thus one colors.json to rule all views and not one per view. And this seems wrong.

If I move colors.json to the view folder the deployment fails:

D:\PrimoDev\primo-explore-devenv-master\primo-explore\custom\desktop>gulp app-css --view desktop

Additionally, it seems there is some confusion about the specificity of the colors.json file. If developers want to have multiple views with different color schemes, the colors.json file had to be edited and re-written. what would be better is if there were a colors_.json. this would allow us to use the same gulp app-css command and the specific colors.json file would be applied.

Hi Did somebody install addon "Report broken links" for Primo?
Thanks for all.
