What type to use for visual content changes?

[javier-godoy]

The style type addresses changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc). We need to clarify (through an example) that changes to the application "styles" (Cascading Style Sheets_) and visual content are not style commits.

https://github.com/conventional-commits/conventionalcommits.org/issues/240 seems to suggest refactor or chore (when the visual change is by itself neither a feat nor a fix). However, we are defining refactor as "a code change" (thus replacing a PNG would not be covered under this type).

chore: Maintenance changes not covered by other types. refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature feat: A new feature (correlates with MINOR in semantic versioning) fix: A bug fix (correlates with PATCH in semantic versioning)

Totally, we need to clarify that. IMHO I think it's clear which of those options to choose, here are some examples (based on style changes):

• chore: replace px with em widths
• refactor: use css variables instead of hardcoded values
• feat: improve readability by using larger fonts
• fix: fix overlapping problem in divs

Will provide clarification through examples. Feel free to reopen if you consider that we need to rewrite other parts of the document.
