I'd like to additively build backgrounds in SASS/Compass, ignorant of the existing background string. I am able to accomplish by writing to a global var, but it seems sloppy.
Pseudo:
=mixin-add-icon
// add a background icon
=mixin-add-gradient-from-color($color: blue !default)
// add a background gradient
=mixin-add-texture-bg
// add a bg texture
a
background: blue
+mixin-add-texture-bg
// this should take the existing bg and add texture to it
&.selected
+mixin-add-gradient-from-color()
+mixin-add-icon
// these two should take the existing bgs strings from <a> and add to them
Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance.
