Volker_E added a comment to T222883: Create a MW-wide class for screen reader-only content.

@stijn Thanks, you're right. I've misunderstood just based on the last comments.

Volker_E added a comment to T358038: Discuss how to handle font-size tokens in different skins with different base font sizes.

One thing to keep in mind with treating "legacy" as mode: there are already theme-wikimedia-ui-legacy.less files in use in Translate and Universal Language Selector extensions since regards to removing 'mediawiki.ui' vars.
This file was meant to be updated continuously in the extensions needing them. With the modes, we have to change what we're providing there. Reason for putting them there was that we wanted the two with their old MediaWiki support pre v1.38. As we're talking Translate seems to be adapted to use skin vars, so it's a one extension only issue.

“Red Link” has got a semantic meaning within Wiki community, even though it features a color. It's only used for this action in Wikiverse.

Volker_E updated subscribers of T359084: Align mw.notification with Codex.

Currently the notification from Parsoid original implementation (thanks @cscott for filing this task and reaching out) uses the subtle Message background. But these kind of toast notifications shouldn't be using a neutral message background IMO. The notification “toast” message is better in a white background territory there. cc: @bmartinezcalvo

Volker_E added a comment to T359148: Link: unify the name of the blue link across both Guidelines and Demos.

Thanks for coming back to this, unifying makes a lot of sense here.
I'd be against default as I'd refer to an unstyled HTML link by “default” ;)
I'd also don't think that “progressive” is a good fit in the case of a link even though it features the same color in the default theme, as we also don't say “destructive” for the “Red Link” as it's not general progression we're describing with a “base” Link in contrast to the progressive Buttons.
I'd go for “base” as we use the term for our baseline in many different cases.

Volker_E added a comment to T356465: [Spike] Determine how to Codex should support different themes/modes.

I think the reorganization you've proposed in your proof of concept makes sense. I'd recommend not calling the decision layer theme.json though..."theme" is a confusing word and you could argue that it's better applied to the options layer as it currently is. Instead, I'd let the decision file remain codex-base.json, and in the future we can add codex-night.json etc. (although I also like the single-file approach proposed by Danny Banks). I do like the rename of theme-wikimedia-ui.json to options.json.

+1, the output files are also named theme-wikimedia-ui.less, theme-wikimedia-ui-legacy.less, etc., and in fact there is an output file named theme-wikimedia-ui.json whose contents are different from the input file named theme-wikimedia-ui.json! That's confusing, so maybe we can reserve the theme- prefix for output files.

Volker_E added a comment to T350477: Add Sort icon to OOUI and Codex.

Note, that the double arrows need to fit into the 20px canvas, which means the height is limited, so 12px might be too small to fit both in height with distance gap. Also I think the gap should be tried to be more than 1px in order to make it easier recognizable.

That's in connection with T341632: [EPIC] Palette customizations and dark mode and even T26070: [GOAL] Provide a dark / night mode skin or theme. We could use this task for the specific addition of dark mode/night mode colors to Codex design tokens.

Volker_E added a comment to T357695: Table: Investigate open implementation questions.

On 3.1. I'd strongly suggest taking a path that will enable us to generalize pagination later. I see more UX commonalities than differences in table and other pagination.
Just passed by a detailed article on pagination design in general that captures a number of thoughts that went into existing paginations and might be helpful here again.

Volker_E added a comment to T343316: Promote `rem` technical requirements across themes.

One concern to take into consideration is how to deal with MediaWiki as platform, with external skin authors, how to tackle and communicate a possible unification like html { font-size: 100% } [or html { font-size: 62.5% }.
