Re: [pgAdmin4][RM2927] Move all CSS into SCSS files for consistency and ease of colour maintenance etc.

Hi Hackers,

Just to mention, with the previous patch I have used the new SASS variables $color-bg-inverse for background colors where #000 (black) was used and $color-fg-inverse for foreground colors where #fff (white) was used in few more places. I think I have covered most of the places but please let me know if I missed anything.

Hi

That looks much better... but, did you get the right shades of grey? They seem to have a slight green hint to them.

I tried to get the correct ones. And we can always change them, its SASS. :-D

 

Sure, but I'm assigning that task to you :-p 

Can you please look at v3.2, and check if the button background, toolbar background and code mirror gutters all have the same resulting colours in your patch?

Thanks :-)

One more thought - can you please look at updating the style guide on the website to be consistent? https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgadmin-www.git;a=summary

Dave, is this the current repo ? I configured it on my local and looks like old one.

 

Yes. Will start working on this.

Thanks.

Hi Hackers,

Attached is the updated patch fixing the errors. I missed the linter in webpack.config.js :(

That's better - thanks.

A few thoughts:

- The button bars now have the flat style, however disabled buttons are almost indistinguishable from enabled ones. If we're going to have a flatter style, then we need to make the foreground colour of the buttons much lighter when they're disabled.

I guess they are distinguishable :/ (below screenshots). Plus you will get a disabled mouse pointer on button hover (after I send the updated patch). If we need to change the colors of the button then we need to override bootstrap variables and compile the less files.

I mean the button bar on the Query Tool or Debugger (though I only looked at the former).

BTW, you should grab the Sim Daltonism app from the app store on your Mac. It shows you what the colours would look like to people with different types of colour-blindness. It's very useful.

I have over-riden bootstrap class

 

for such buttons to make foreground more lighter. The app helped, thanks.

 

 

- I'm not keen on using $color-white/$color-black. That pre-supposes what the colours are, in which case we might as well just hard-code the values. How about $color-foreground/$color-background?

foreground/background is a good idea. It will be helpful in theming if we want a dark theme. All need to use these variables in places where no backgroud/foreground color is set in CSS classes. Will work on this.

 

- One thing we may want to do in the future is to have the option for alternate themes (or at least just a dark one). Do you know (no need to do it now - I'm just asking) if we've got enough of the colours in _default_variables.scss (and overridden elsewhere) to be able to do that?

I have added few more variables and should be enough. pgAdmin4 has limited number of colors

 

and the current variables should be enough.

I have covered all the hash codes used in pgAdmin4 defined CSS/SCSS files. But, if we want the complete theme then we need to override the external CSS or override the variables and compile the less/sass files (bootstrap). This is part is still not done.

Ack. Personally, I'd love a dark theme. Or even pluggable themes. That would be awesome - but we have more important work first.

Moving to Bootstrap 4 will make it more easier :P

 

 

 

I have noticed one more thing, templated CSS. We should remove it. For now I have skipped template css from webpack bundling.

+1 

Should this be done as part of this RM, or we need to create a separate one ?

A separate one I think.

RM3574 created.

 

Thanks!
