 * Hi there,
 * I am fairly new to WordPress Developing.
    Currently I am developing my own theme
   and would like to add css LESS. Don’t think this is a problem ? I was wandering
   if it is possible to overwrite LESS variables with the Customization API.
 * example:
    I have a color variable @main-color, when the user changes the default
   color in the Customization API, I want to override that variable. (not simply
   put some css in the header).
 * Is this possible ?
    Does anyone have an example ?
