sass

A couple of people had asked me the differences between SASS vs LESS Syntax. Chris Eppstein, the creator of Compass, graciously forwarded me this comparison chart showing both syntaxes side by side.

Hey Everyone,
May I introduce you to Peroxide an in-development Drupal theme engine that uses Haml as a templating language and can use Sass stylesheets. Peroxide's goal is to make themes faster and easier to create, and to make them more maintainable over time. Haml and Sass both present nice abstractions and tools to make working with templates and stylesheets respectively much easier. Peroxide is also bundled with the compass styling framework which makes it extremely easy to import existing CSS frameworks including Blueprint, CSS resets, CSS3 compatibility tools, and more into your theme.

I have written a Sass base file with variables and mixins meant to ease the override of Zen layout-fixed.css
http://gist.github.com/614645

It provides variables like $zen-content-position, which controls whether the content comes before the two sidebars, in the middle of the sidebars or after them. other variables control sidebars and content width, and navigation height.

The idea behind this sass file is making Zen easier to manipulate without editing any of the provided css files.
