It is unclear which colors we should be using in each style. The original colors (only light ones) for the Featured Article widget are white70 for the background, base10 for the content and base30 for the header.
But, in the styles_light.xml file those colors aren't listed anywhere as text colors, rather material_theme_primary_color and material_theme_secondary_color, which I would assume is what we would want, are actually black87 and black54 respectively. Is there some kind of policy on text colors or do I have the liberty to change it to the standard colors (those latter colors I mentioned)?
Furthermore, widget_shape_inner.xml and widget_shape_background.xml are identical files that have different effects on the widget. the former is applied on the inner part of the widget (that can be seen in the task description) and is lighter than the general background, which is the latter. How are these two identical files reflecting different colors in the widget?
@Mr_Patoot This task requires more design than developer attention at the moment, and is probably not ready to be worked on yet.
