We all know that sometimes CSS stylesheets can get complicated, so anything that can help you manage that complexity is a welcome bonus.<\/p>\n<p>As you may already know, when you enable the Theme Editor by creating a &#8216;<em>theme.settings<\/em>&#8216; file, you can parse your CSS files by making sure they have a suffix of &#8216;<em>.css.liquid<\/em>&#8216;.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as part of the CSS processing that gets initiated to deal with the Liquid tags, we&#8217;ve added a pass through the SCSS processor, which is part of the SASS CSS extensions. You can read more about these CSS extensions at <a href=\"http:\/\/sass-lang.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/sass-lang.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By using the CSS extensions, you can simplify your stylesheets by using variables, conditional logic, mixins and templates, nested attributes and a whole lot more. Even better, at the end of the processing you get a compressed CSS file so you can ensure that your site loads as fast as possible. Even if you don&#8217;t use any of the CSS extensions, you still get a compressed stylesheet, so that&#8217;s got to be something to smile about!<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about the Spiffy Stores Theme Customizations in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiffystores.com.au\/kb\/Theme_Settings\" target=\"_blank\">Knowledge Base<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actually, it&#8217;s really &#8220;Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets&#8221;.
