## Overview:

Here's what we are doing:

- Writing a CSS [mixin] containing classes of the DOM elements we want to styled as a part of our theme
- Including our mixin in the stylesheet meant to be imported in the entry javascript(index.js) or the topmost component(App.js)
- Writing a short script to change the class of the <body> element using a dropdown in our App component

## Solution:

#### [Theme.less](https://github.com/bearded-impala/CSS-Theming/blob/master/src/styles/Theme.less)

This stylesheet contains a generic [mixin] style template for your user interface

#### [App.less](https://github.com/bearded-impala/CSS-Theming/blob/master/src/styles/App.less)

The stylesheet for your App.js:

- holds all the colors in the form of [variables]
- includes the theme mixin with color variables as its arguments
