Re: themes on 4.8beta
Yeah, we probably don’t need the strike through. It gives a confusing message, imo. Like: are the live assets in use any more at all or have they been replaced by my latest action?
With the dev assets / themes always at the bottom (when needed) indicating that they’re “waiting” to be pushed up to replace what’s currently live, I think that’s enough of a clue.
EDIT: I’ve removed the strikethrough. Is that better?

Yeah, the strike-through / <del />
was not ideal for this. OTOH, maybe the non-active-theme-in-developer-mode could be greyed out or something, to put more (visual) emphasis on the active one. IOW, indicating it as secondary text.
But we don’t have a class / style to indicate such a secondary text that could look greyed out or some such. .secondary-text
maybe? (could look like footnote text).
That could also be used for the “Article URL pattern” column to indicate the default pattern (currently using the .disabled
class, which is not ideal from a semantic point of view).
Edit / PS – Example (for the Skin column only atm)

Re: themes on 4.8beta
Agreed Philippe, good idea. I’ll add that extra class later today. We should then be ready for beta2 release I think.

That was the idea, and strike-through looked more adapted than greying-out for colour-blind people to me. But styling (be it del
or .some-class
) is themes authors affair.

Yeah, .some-class
is not ideal for users relying on assistive technology (it is meaningless), but there is nothing in HTML that would provide some adequate meaning. And <del />
is not great at all. One could always style the text-decoration with a faint colour with text-decoration-color
if the theme author wants / feels

Re: themes on 4.8beta
OK, .secondary-text
style is now in the aforementioned text entries instead of .disabled
. Once this is verified as OK I’m happy to move to beta2 release. Cheers all.

For URL patterns
.disabled
actually means ‘empty’ or ‘default’, I just have not found a more appropriate class.
What about .default
?

Re: themes on 4.8beta
It’s fine as secondary – it’s only a visual class, there is no semantics involved or assistive attributes used.
