How to over ride frontend-blank _navigation.less in custom theme?












0















There are a number of great answers on less extending and overriding but none seem to answer this.



I want to override the following in a custom theme.
/vendor/magento/theme-frontend-blank/web/css/source/_navigation.less



I've tried the following:




  1. Copy _navigation.less to app/design/frontend/Vendor/custom-theme/web/css/source/_navigation.less and recompile.


  2. Copy _navigation.less and _sources.less to app/design/frontend/Vendor/custom-theme/web/css/source/ and comment out other partials I don't want to override.



  3. Save theme-frontend-blank/web/css/source/_navigation.less to app/design/frontend/Vendor/custom-theme/web/css/source/_navigation_override.less and import it in app/design/frontend/Vendor/custom-theme/web/css/_styles.less



    @import 'source/_navigation_override.less';



Option 3 does work but only because it's loaded after _navigation.less so it's not ideal.



Does any know how I should be doing this?
