Certain Elements Of Editor Don't Respect Themeing

by ADMIN 50 views

Introduction

As a user of the new editor, you may have noticed that certain elements do not fully utilize the new theming, resulting in a lack of consistency in the visual appearance of the editor. This issue affects various components, including dropdown menus, the asset browser, cloud browser, mixer, console text, and library manager, as well as various icons. In this article, we will delve into the details of this issue, provide a step-by-step guide to reproduce the problem, and discuss the expected behavior.

Describe the Bug

Elements of the new editor are not fully using the new theming, and as such, do not respect changes to the theme file. This inconsistency is particularly evident when setting every color to bright red, which highlights the areas that are not affected by the theme changes. Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that not all text uses the text color, leading to a visually unappealing experience.

To Reproduce

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Backup your theme file: Before making any changes, create a backup of your current theme file to avoid losing any customizations.
  2. Replace the theme file: Replace the theme.json file in addons/tools/assets/styles with the provided theme.json file, which sets the editor to bright red.
  3. Observe the changes: After replacing the theme file, observe the changes in the editor. You should notice that certain elements, such as dropdown menus, the asset browser, cloud browser, mixer, console text, and library manager, do not respect the theme changes.

Expected Behavior

Ideally, all text and material icons should use the 'text' style, ensuring a consistent visual appearance throughout the editor. This would mean that any changes made to the theme file would be reflected in all elements of the editor, providing a seamless user experience.
