Mejores opciones de tema en el front-end del usuario

Continuing the discussion from We need a "large fonts" and "small fonts" theme to ship with Discourse:

Our themes now support dark/light/{any-color-scheme} toggles as well as variable font sizes :tada:

But user interface for changing these settings is currently very basic:

We should have something closer to this (from GitBook):

I don’t have access to my usual image editor so here’s a cruder mockup than usual:

I think the <big> fix ruined it…

It shouldn’t have ruined anything except scaling for <big> and <small> tags, which should be avoided because they’re obsolete specifications that can be removed at any moment. <big> specifically is very bad because it will nest and scale infinitely if defined with ems.

I can probably change the <big> definition to a rem unit to prevent the exploit and allow at least some scaling based on the root font-size, but it still should be considered as relevant as the <blink> tag.

The plan has always been to add “user selectable theme components”

That means you can also flag “components” as selectable by end users. This would be done here:

Note, that screen shot is a “theme”, not default behaviour. My user selectable theme hamburger thingy ™ would have to be expanded to support this.

I suspected that might be a prerequisite for this feature.

Wouldn’t we want this front end widget (in particular the font sizer, which is a key accessibility feature) to be a default feature for every theme? So either (a) it should be bundled into core somehow, or (b) that theme component would be a default for all themes somehow, but the former sounds a lot easier to me.

I like this so much it hurts. Having a drop-down for each set of selectable theme components would make it a much cleaner presentation for the user. This is extreme granted, but instead of having a single dropdown with:

Standard Theme (Light w/ Normal Font)
Standard Theme (Light w/ Large Font)
Standard Theme (Dark w/ Normal Font)
Standard Theme (Dark w/ Large Font)
Standard Theme (Other Color Scheme w/ Normal Font)
Standard Theme (Other Color Scheme w/ Large Font)
Sam’s Simple Theme (Light w/ Normal Font)
Sam’s Simple Theme (Light w/ Large Font)
Sam’s Simple Theme (Dark w/ Normal Font)
Sam’s Simple Theme (Dark w/ Large Font)
Sam’s Simple Theme (Other Color Scheme w/ Normal Font)
Sam’s Simple Theme (Other Color Scheme w/ Large Font)
Material Design Theme (Light w/ Normal Font)
Material Design Theme (Light w/ Large Font)
Material Design Theme (Dark w/ Normal Font)
Material Design Theme (Dark w/ Large Font)
Material Design Theme (Other Color Scheme w/ Normal Font)
Material Design Theme (Other Color Scheme w/ Large Font)
Vincent Theme (Light w/ Normal Font)
Vincent Theme (Light w/ Large Font)
Vincent Theme (Dark w/ Normal Font)
Vincent Theme (Dark w/ Large Font)
Vincent Theme (Other Color Scheme w/ Normal Font)
Vincent Theme (Other Color Scheme w/ Large Font)
etc…

You’d be able to have something like:

Can’t wait for this feature!

We’re still planning user-selectable theme preferences for the future, but per-user font size selection is now part of core:

¿Esto ya se ha hecho? Específicamente, necesito una configuración de usuario para un componente de tema.

Lo hemos retirado de la hoja de ruta a corto plazo con el fin de mantener las cosas más simples. Sin embargo, podría ocurrir en el futuro.

Dependiendo de tu caso de uso, es posible que puedas usar cookies o localStorage para guardar datos por dispositivo. Aquí tienes un ejemplo de ello: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-defer/blob/master/common/head_tag.html

¡Genial, gracias! Sabía que había un ejemplo de esto, pero no pude encontrarlo. Voy a necesitar un campo de entrada de texto (no una casilla de verificación), espero que logre resolverlo.
