Problem/Motivation

See discussion in: #2195695: Admin UIs on the front-end are difficult to theme →
See: 🌱 [Meta] Move module.theme.css files to Classy or Seven Postponed: needs info

Shortcut links are an administrative UI component that appears on the frontend of sites. It's important that they are 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

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
