Styling: Material Design and FamilySearch #1

Open justincy opened 7 years ago

Right now the elements sort of use Material Design via Polymer paper elements.

Options:

  1. Stick with the naive Googlish Material Design implementation
  2. Try to make Material Design feel more like FamilySearch
  3. Ditch Material Design

I'm still concerned about forcing Material Design, whether or not we customize it with FamilySearch colors. It's hard to explain why and is likely tied to the fact that the issue of styling 3rd party components still isn't solved. In other words, I just want to make sure that consumers of the components are able to style them (if we decide that's something we want). Or do we just plan on them having their own FS style so that devs can't use them in a way that cause users to not know the data is from FamilySearch?

Another idea is to ship both paper and non-paper elements. 😒

Good questions here, I'm not sure how to answer them. I do think it's important to make it easy for the consumer to style the component.
