Thanks for getting started on this. Good to know that Theme is working for you. I think we've used Theme in a few other places already like Flat in case you want to see it working somewhere else.
AIUI, Vivid is just one look-and-feel you and others will provide based on a new "sub-DOM" within the UI components like TextInput. Someone will provide a Wireframe, others will come up with completely different looks. So it may be that you will create some other SWC called "HighlyStyleable" and that's where the newly structured components will go, and Vivid and VividBlue will be more or less just a set of styles and assets to plug into those sub-DOMs. It is fine if this work reduces usage of Express. I don't believe everyone uses Bootstrap or MDL for every web page. I believe there are people who don't need control over every pixel and are happy using the browser Checkbox as-is. They will continue to use Express and Basic. But also, I hope that this styling work ends up being a SWC full of new Views and no other beads. And the components are empty subclasses of some Basic or Express component. That would be ideal. It would mean that all other kinds of beads in Basic can be re-used in these highly-styled components and that we've put the right boundary around what a View is. Speak up if it doesn't look like that will be possible. Finally, I'm wondering how this work, which I think has the goal of providing a new default look for Royale, relates to the goal of a "truly skinnable" component set, where just about every pixel would be described in SVG. It feels like the sub-DOM approach is similar to the Bootstrap and MDL technique of allowing customizations that can be described in CSS operating on the given sub-DOM, which is great. But is the only way to truly allow any look to allow SVG to describe every pixel or can it be done with these sub-DOMs? Thoughts? -Alex PS: Done for tonight. Will pick this up in my morning.
