Subtheme - Do CSS Files Still Need Copying When Updating DXPR?

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 15 January 2025, 10 months ago

I initially installed DXPR 6.0 and created a subtheme. I also uninstalled the deprecated core Color module, since it says that's no longer needed for 6.x. So far so good.

And then today I updated to the latest 6.0.2 DXPR theme in the normal way ( https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/security-update-theme.html#s-u... → ).

However, afterward I was reviewing your documentation on updating the DXPR theme when you have a subtheme: https://dxpr.com/documentation/creating-dxpr-theme-drupal-9-subtheme#Use...

And I'm wondering specifically about this:

Due to how the Drupal color module works, a copy of DXPR Theme css files is included in your sub-theme. This means that every time you update DXPR Theme, you need to copy the CSS files again to your sub-theme by following these steps:

The relevant step here is: in the dxpr_theme folder copy the directories /css/* to /your_subtheme/css

And so I'm wondering - is this step still necessary?

It would be great to know for sure, since it appears that documentation page may be out of date (or needs rewriting) now that the 6.x branch exists without the Color module being required anymore.

    The CSS files still need to be copied once when updating a DXPR 5.x subtheme to 6.x. This one-time step is required to migrate from the old system (hardcoded colors) to the new system (CSS custom properties). After that initial migration, future updates on 6.x no longer require copying CSS files.
