Follow-up to #1510544: Allow to preview content in an actual live environment →

Problem

The current node preview bar looks like this:

Proposed resolution

  • Allow admin themes to provide a stylsheet for the preview bar
  • Change the styling of the button to match Seven link
  • Change the colour of the toolbar to match the standard horizontal bar in the toolbar.

Why this change should be committed during RC

There are several reasons this should be submitted:

  • This fixes a big bug that you can't properly use the preview bar on your mobile phone.
  • The design is currently completely out of line with the rest of our style guide implementation.
  • The current design has various usability issues, as uncovered in earlier testing - this design should resolve that.
  • This has no impact on the larger ecosystem as it only touches the preview bar.

As far as I am aware there is no impact in other places and/or will cause any contrib having to re-do work. Since I didn't see any D8 module that alters this yet.

    The issue summary is referencing many no-longer-in-Drupal things. The summary needs to be updated to make this coherent.

    I'm tempted to set this to closed (Outdated) as I'm not sure how beneficial the prior 189 comments would be to addressing any issues with this in Claro, etc, but I'll let someone else who has been more involved in that issue make that call more conclusively.

    It has been1 year and 3 months since @bnjmnm suggested closing this issue for reasons explained in their comment, #190. Since no one who has worked on this issue before has responded I think it is time to close this.
