CSS Generators

Automated environment palette customization for all tenants with minimal effort.

Overview

Supporting multi-tenant UI customization meant that each tenant needed a unique color palette—but managing CSS manually was a nightmare. The CSS Generator automates this process by taking a tenant-specific palette and dynamically generating a customized CSS instance based on a global styling template. This ensures each tenant gets a distinct look without manually updating stylesheets.

Key Goals:

Status: Completed

Complexity: Medium

Components

CSS Generator

Automates tenant and owner-specific styling using a data-driven CSS generation process.

SOARL Summary

    Situation:

    • Managing CSS for multiple tenants manually was time-consuming.

    • Needed a way to automatically generate and apply styles while keeping things organized.

    Obstacle:

    • AI-augmented design evolves quickly—one minute it’s 100 lines of CSS, the next it’s **300+ with slight variations.

    • Keeping track of all generated styles was a challenge, as LLMs tend to drift when modifying UI elements.

    Action:

    • {“Developed a CSS generator that”=>nil}

      1. Parses the master CSS file into structured database entries.
      1. Generates tenant-specific CSS files from a predefined palette.
      1. Applies conditional styling rules for different UI elements.
    • Ensured auto-generated palettes were included in the environment build.

    Result:

    • Fully automated CSS management, reducing manual effort **significantly.

    • Each tenant now gets a distinct, dynamically generated theme.

    Learning:

    • CSS is deceptively powerful—but also **hard to manage at scale.

    • AI-generated CSS drifts over time, requiring **better tracking mechanisms.

    • This module still has room for refinement as new UI elements are introduced.

Final Thoughts

CSS generators might seem like a luxury, but when LLM-driven UI design starts spiraling into unstructured chaos, automation becomes a necessity. This data-driven approach ensures tenants get their own styling without the manual CSS headaches. 🚀
