Theming considerations

The $styleguide-dir variable

This theme as well as its starter kit contains a 00-settings/_vars.scss file which contains a $styleguide-dir variable pointing to the directory of the style guide within the gent_base theme for your Drupal installation.

This style guide variable is necessary for the successful compilation of the sub theme sass code.
