Remove specific stylesheets from a given page

Question

Adding a stylesheet to specific pages is easy: implement hook_preprocess_page(), call drupal_add_css(...) and set $vars['styles'] = drupal_get_css().

---

But what is the proper way to remove a stylesheet (or in my case, all "media=screen" stylesheets) for a specific page, without interfering with the caching system ? (e.g. not some regex applied to the output)

You can't just do unset($vars['css']['screen']) because $vars['styles'] has already been generated at this point and there exists no drupal_remove_css() function.

Answer 1

This seems to be the cleanest way, in hook_preprocess_page():

$css = drupal_add_css();
unset( $css['screen'] );
$vars['styles'] = drupal_get_css($css);
