Problem/Motivation

See discussion in: #2195695: Admin UIs on the front-end are difficult to theme →

The toolbar is an administrative UI component that appears on the frontend of sites. It's important that it is consistent with the Seven style guide and that other admin themes can control the look and feel.

Proposed resolution

Our CSS standards → define module CSS as: “the minimal styles needed to get the module's functionality working.”
Theme CSS is defined as: “extra styles to make the module's functionality aesthetically pleasing. ”
Move the theme styling into the Seven theme
Add a library alter hook to load the admin theme CSS. Example: 🐛 Node preview bar has usability issues, is difficult to use on mobile, not usable without Bartik, and does not align with the Seven style guide and current toolbar designs Postponed: needs info

    Neds issue summary as

    • This one refers to Seven, a now-removed theme
    • There's mention of "Add a library alter hook to load the admin theme CSS". The claro theme now styles the toolbar on the admin & default themes. We should check if that change meets that specific need #3070493: Introduce a mechanism to provide an alternate Claro design for the toolbar in the future →
    • Part of the justification to doing this is adhering to as-documented CSS standards Our CSS standards define module CSS as: “the minimal styles needed to get the module's functionality working.”
      Theme CSS is defined as: “extra styles to make the module's functionality aesthetically pleasing. ”. Given this issue is 8+ years old, we should establish that this is still worth pursuing even if it might disrupt the way many sites are accustomed to.
