Re: [xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.4: Using Velocity variables inside a custom CSS file

Hello I have created a custom CSS file (/xwiki/skins/myskin/css/mystyle.css) and I created a Velocity template to reference this css file (/xwiki/skins/myskin/templates/customcss.vm). Inside the Velocity template, I have the line

<link rel="stylesheet" href="$xwiki.getSkinFile('css/mystyle.css')"/>

and it works fine. Now I want to able to use the $theme variable inside my CSS file to use attributes like $theme.pageBackgroundColor and $theme.textColor;. However, I can't seem to get the theme variable to be passed into the CSS file. All references to these attributes return a null value inside the CSS file. In the customcss.vm file, I added the line $theme.menuLinkColor for debugging purposes and it returns a non-null value. So, I know that the value of this variable is available within the Velocity template. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thank you.
