Budibase Theming

[shogunpurple]

As a user, it is beneficial to be able to define some variables/themes at the top level of an application that can be used to control the look and feel of your application by changing a single color or applying a theme.

In budibase, styling the whole app in this way is difficult at the moment. My suggestion is that we define a "spec" for components that make use of some Budibase CSS variables that can be set at the top level:

• --primary-color
• --secondary-color
• --tertiary-color

All budibase standard components will know about these - and they can be leveraged by component authors also, as well as adding their own.

Hey @ll,
did you schedule when the app styling will be useable? I really need to "style" the header, and I would appreciate an css upload area, where a css / scss could be uploaded to style components all over the app :)

Hey @PGLange

What styles do you need to apply to the header?

It would be interesting to have the possibility to put icons in the menu options, as it is a standard in applications. Will it be possible to apply dark mode in the menu, @joebudi?

This is a cool idea but it's not a blocker so it won't come in the next release. The nav will accept a dark mode theme.
