Recompile SCSS

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

$ yarn                                             # install modules
$ vi static/scss/soft-ui-dashboard/_variables.scss # edit variables 
$ gulp                                             # SCSS to CSS translation

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

$primary:       #cb0c9f !default;   // EDIT for customization 
$secondary:     #8392AB !default;   // EDIT for customization 
$info:          #17c1e8 !default;   // EDIT for customization 
$success:       #82d616 !default;   // EDIT for customization 
$warning:       #fbcf33 !default;   // EDIT for customization 
$danger:        #ea0606 !default;   // EDIT for customization
