Hello,
Is there any way we can have the clean LESS or CSS files instead of having all the CSS files already precompiled on the style.css or css/style.less?

It’s a hassle to edit a single file of 375kb… there is too much dead code and this makes almost impossible to have a clean and nice theme child.

Thanks for your input.

Hello,

Please take apologies.
We don’t recommend to remove any code. It’s used for the work of some theme elements. We’ll try to optimize this in the future update.
Here you can read how to create child theme correctly http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes .

Thank you for understanding.

This is not about creating a child themen the base theme would be the same. This is about a nasty and heavy CSS full of dead code.

Why all the css are mixed in just one file??? yes… example font-awesome.css, bootstrap, flexslider, owl, Revslider, SwinxyZoom, magnific-popup, etc (i’m not going to add all the libraries used)

Why the theme doesn’t use wp_enqueue_style correctly? Of course you can enqueue all your libraries by default but at least leave the option for developers to dequeue styles and scripts!! Example why if if I want to use another theme from owl? what about if I just don’t need and use that feature?!

By thee whay…Why do you enqueue font-lato and open-sans?

What about ‘all_plugins’ ? all js files in just one file ??????

WOW, I’m not going to add all the n00b mistakes and errors on this theme… but very disappointed that we can buy this theme on themeforest

Well, the most easy way to fix this is to switch from theme or start from scratch.

Hello,

Having only one CSS/JS file is better for the loading-time of pages as it means less HTTP requests.

Having several little CSS files means development is easier. But while we create themes we focus on the general customers’ needs first, not on developers.

Anyway we have included all the CSS (legenda/css folder) and JS (legenda/js folder) files for those who want to edit them and then compile only the necessary styles in style.css file. If you are a developer you can choose what to change and what to include.
We really overwrite owl carousel style according to the theme design, but our css has comments for all the styles we add. In case you need default owl styles just delete piece of our code after appropriate comment.

Thank you.

Eva Kemp.

Yeah Yeah, Whatever. This topic can be close. This is like buying a crappy car where we are suppose to buy Ferraris (first time that I found something like this in codecanyon or themeforest).
