So you want to have a base.css file on all pages, then a homepage.css file just for the homepage, and non-homepage.css for all other pages? Here’s how:
In your themes’ .info file, include the base.css file:
stylesheets[all][] = css/base.css
In your themes’ template.php file:
function YOURTHEME_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
//
// home/non-home specific css
//
$homepage_css_options = array(
'type' => 'inline',
'scope' => 'header',
'group' => CSS_THEME,
'weight' => 9999,
'preprocess' => FALSE,
);
$nothomepage_css_options = array(
'type' => 'file',
'scope' => 'header',
'group' => CSS_THEME,
'weight' => 9999,
'preprocess' => TRUE,
);
if ($vars['is_front'] == TRUE) {
//inline the homepage css, minified by Gulp
drupal_add_css(file_get_contents(drupal_get_path('theme', 'YOURTHEME') . '/css/homepage.min.css'), $homepage_css_options);
} else {
//inline css file for all pages except homepage
drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('theme', 'YOURTHEME') . '/css/not-homepage.css', $nothomepage_css_options);
}
}
Note: In the code above I have chosen to inline the homepage only CSS.
