Recompile SCSS

The SCSS/CSS files used to style the Ui are saved in the apps/static/assets directory. In order to update the Ui colors (primary, secondary) this procedure needs to be followed.

$ yarn # install modules
$ # # edit variables 
$ vi apps/static/assets/scss/black-dashboard/custom/_variables.scss 
$ gulp # SCSS to CSS translation

The _variables.scss content defines the primary and secondary colors:

$default:       #344675 !default; // EDIT for customization
$primary:       #e14eca !default; // EDIT for customization
$secondary:     #f4f5f7 !default; // EDIT for customization
$success:       #00f2c3 !default; // EDIT for customization
$info:          #1d8cf8 !default; // EDIT for customization
$warning:       #ff8d72 !default; // EDIT for customization
