Blazor Dashboard does not actually build Telerik Themes about blazor-ui

[dimodi]

Hello @Jejuni ,

Indeed, our sample apps no longer build the themes from source, because this made them too complex for 99% of our customers who didn't need this.

If you like, you can use an older version of the blazor-ui repo, before this commit: a604241

Fixed with

• #265
• telerik/blazor-docs@10931a4

Hey @dimodi

If that is the direction Telerik wants to take that's fine.

I think it's quite a useful feature to be able to build the themes yourself and especially customize both bootstrap and kendo themes using the same variables.
I can't argue with the 99% figure as I don't have the data, but I find it hard to believe that most web developers would find a simple sass compilation workflow too complex to understand, especially as it isn't required to understand the rest of the sample.

The sample also still has all the code that increases complexity (package.json, gulp, sass, etc.). The only things changed basically boil down to removing @import "~@progress/kendo-theme-bootstrap/dist/all.scss"; in styles.scss and adding a cdn theme in your _Host.cshtml.

You guys also seem to have designed your bootstrap theme with this exact use-case in mind and I think it's really well done.
The Angular docs also describe how to do it, so I don't see why it needed to be removed from the blazor docs.
Updating the docs to correctly state how this is supposed to be done in would have been better in my opinion.

Thank you for providing a link to a working commit, though.
