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/corporate-ui-dashboard/_variables.scss # edit variables 
$ gulp                                                  # SCSS to CSS translation

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

$primary:       #774dd3 !default; // EDIT for customization
$secondary:     #64748b !default; // EDIT for customization
$info:          #55a6f8 !default; // EDIT for customization
$success:       #67c23a !default; // EDIT for customization
$warning:       #f19937 !default; // EDIT for customization 
$danger:        #ea4e3d !default; // EDIT for customization
