New `about.json` fields (all optional):
- `authors`: An arbitrary string describing the theme authors
- `theme_version`: An arbitrary string describing the theme version
- `minimum_discourse_version`: Theme will be auto-disabled for lower versions. Must be a valid version descriptor.
- `maximum_discourse_version`: Theme will be auto-disabled for lower versions. Must be a valid version descriptor.
A localized description for a theme can be provided in the language files under the `theme_metadata.description` key
The admin UI has been re-arranged to display this new information, and give more prominence to the remote theme options.
- Themes can supply translation files in a format like `/locales/{locale}.yml`. These files should be valid YAML, with a single top level key equal to the locale being defined. For now these can only be defined using the `discourse_theme` CLI, importing a `.tar.gz`, or from a GIT repository.
- Fallback is handled on a global level (if the locale is not defined in the theme), as well as on individual keys (if some keys are missing from the selected interface language).
- Administrators can override individual keys on a per-theme basis in the /admin/customize/themes user interface.
- Theme developers should access defined translations using the new theme prefix variables:
JavaScript: `I18n.t(themePrefix("my_translation_key"))`
Handlebars: `{{theme-i18n "my_translation_key"}}` or `{{i18n (theme-prefix "my_translation_key")}}`
- To design for backwards compatibility, theme developers can check for the presence of the `themePrefix` variable in JavaScript
- As part of this, the old `{{themeSetting.setting_name}}` syntax is deprecated in favour of `{{theme-setting "setting_name"}}`

Run `prettier --write "app/assets/stylesheets/**/*.scss" "plugins/**/*.scss"` after making sure you installed it with `yarn`
It's recommended to configure your editor to run prettier on file save.
the mobile icon has a higher height than other icons, given we want a total 30px height and we apply a 5px top and bottom padding, the icon can be at most 20px height
This feature introduces the concept of themes. Themes are an evolution
of site customizations.
Themes introduce two very big conceptual changes:
- A theme may include other "child themes", children can include grand
children and so on.
- A theme may specify a color scheme
The change does away with the idea of "enabled" color schemes.
It also adds a bunch of big niceties like
- You can source a theme from a git repo
- History for themes is much improved
- You can only have a single enabled theme. Themes can be selected by
users, if you opt for it.
On a technical level this change comes with a whole bunch of goodies
- All CSS is now compiled using a custom pipeline that uses libsass
see /lib/stylesheet
- There is a single pipeline for css compilation (in the past we used
one for customizations and another one for the rest of the app
- The stylesheet pipeline is now divorced of sprockets, there is no
reliance on sprockets for CSS bundling
- CSS is generated with source maps everywhere (including themes) this
makes debugging much easier
- Our "live reloader" is smarter and avoid a flash of unstyled content
we run a file watcher in "puma" in dev so you no longer need to run
rake autospec to watch for CSS changes
