REQ: Multiple startkit themes: SM, MD, LG, FULL

Created on 16 August 2024, 3 months ago

Summary

Provide MULTIPLE startkit themes, with more granular control of what gets overriden by the CUSTOM_THEME; each with varying levels of benefits and negatives.

  • SMALL: minimum amount of theme overrides
  • MEDIUM: medium amount of theme overrides
  • LARGE: large amount of theme overrides (a clone of vartheme_bs5; i.e. the current vartheme_bs5 starterkit)
  • FULL: Overrides everything vartheme/varbase

Proposed resolution

### EXAMPLE LEVELS/FEATURES ###

***

"SMALL starterkit" would be the easiest possible theme updates provided in vartheme_bs5.

This theme would be made for those who want to ONLY override maybe just the colors and logo, and keep everything the same as the vartheme_bs5.

BENEFITS: automatically benefit from any FUTURE theme features, styles and fixes--without the need of having to DIFF between dozens of files; i.e. copying over the changes one by one manually.

***

"MEDIUM starterkit" INCLUDES all the above levels. PLUS would override, non bootstrap library, css and scss, maybe some 'templates' folders.

BENEFITS: Medium control of theming , with medium difficulty for updates to gain FUTURE vartheme_bs5 fixes/features.

***

"LARGE starterkit" INCLUDES all the above levels. PLUS would override almost everything except the startertheme files (so one can make starter themes from this CUSTOM_THEME. FUTURE updates/fixes will be the most difficult.

BENEFITS: This is for those who want almost complete control of theming.

***

"FULL starterkit" INCLUDES all the above levels. PLUS 'components' folder WITH ALL the varbase files/folders inside of these folders. Future fixes/features will DIFFICULT.

BENEFITS: This is for those who want FULL theming of EVERYTHING vartheme/varbase related.
