[META] Seven theme: Reevaluate capitalization of UI elements #4124

Open klonos opened 4 years ago

klonos commented 4 years ago

This has been discussed during last week's dev meeting, with https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/3975#issuecomment-521597300 being the trigger for it.

I'm going to collect some uppercase examples in this thread (before opening separate issues) to get a first overview.

olafgrabienski commented 4 years ago

Table: header cells and dropbuttons are uppercase.

Example: Image styles page

screen-backdrop-1-14-table-1-upper

See lowercase in comparison:

screen-backdrop-1-14-table-2-lower

Btw, another advantage of lowercase: it needs less space. The dropbuttons on the image styles page had a min-width of 97px. With lowercase they need only 77px.

olafgrabienski commented 4 years ago

Primary tabs (and H2 in themes page) are uppercase.

Example: Appearance / List themes page:

screen-backdrop-1-14-tabs-h2-upper

Lowercase for comparison:

screen-backdrop-1-14-tabs-h2-lower

@klonos and @jenlampton - Is this an opportunity for a couple of "Good First Issue" issues?
