Gin does not render properly if set as active theme from a custom theme negotiator

I'm closing this as won't fix. We only support setting Gin as the default theme.

Best regards

I wasn’t able to find that in the documentation.

Given that theme negotiators are part of Drupal core, can you please add this to the list of known issues?

I’d really like for Gin to be compatible with Drupal core. Would you please consider reopening this as a feature request?

We're in the process of preparing Gin to be moved into Core, replacing Claro.

There are plans that in the future there will be no option to change the admin theme anymore. Given those circumstances, we won't further explore this.

ThemeNegotiators was more built with frontend themes in mind. Gin has some specialities which is beyond what Core imagined what an (admin) theme would provide.

I hope this helps

Ok it is helpful, thank you. I’m aware that Gin will be the new default admin theme.

At this point, I’m just asking for any of the rest of this to be documented anywhere. I’m not seeing this mentioned in the current Gin documentation.

I’ve spent some time looking at the theme negotiator stuff on api.drupal.org, and I can’t find a mention that theme negotiators should only be used for front end themes.

I’m also having trouble finding an issue describing plans to disable admin theme configuration in future versions of Drupal. I would really be interested in reading that context.

This is all great info: I’m just asking that it be written down somewhere, or somewhere more discoverable than its current location.
