Latest release seems to be overriding the Bulma default is-link color

[bpepple]

Noticed that django-simple-bulma has changed the default "is-link" modifier color. The default used to be light blue, but with version 2.4.0, it has changed to a light purple (which is what I believe you use on your Python Dischord site). Haven't dug into the code yet, but I'm guessing maybe your site's css scheme might have been shipped.

interesting. thanks for the report, will investigate.

@bpepple could I get some hex values for the colors you're seeing?

There's no way Python Discord's site CSS scheme could have shipped, since it's in an entirely separate repository on a different org. I don't set any kind of default overrides here. The only thing that really changed in 2.4.0 is that we updated to a newer version of Bulma, so the most likely culprit is that this is behavior that changed in one of the Bulma releases over the past 10 months.

if you have a before and after hex value that would be helpful, though.

The default that Bulma lists in its documentation for $link is this:

Hex: 4E78BC RGB: 78, 120, 188

If you're seeing something different than that, well, then yes, that's weird.

So, in my production site the default is-link color is #3273dc.

And in my testing with the new bulma the is-link color is #485fc7

Not quite sure how the default is-link color has changed between the two.

[lemonsaurus]

that is quite interesting. I can't find any references to 485fc7 neither in django-simple-bulma or in bulma itself, so it feels like it must be coming from your BULMA_SETTINGS, can you post those?

[lemonsaurus]

No, okay, I figured this out.

If we look at Bulmas initial variable definitions, we can see that $blue: hsl(229, 53%, 53%), which is the HSL equivalent of #485fc7. is-link derives its color from $blue.

Before Bulma v9, this color was in fact #3273DC, which can be seen in this pull request.

When we updated django-simple-bulma to v2.4.0, we also upgraded to Bulma 0.9.2 (probably from 0.8.x), so this all adds up. This color did change, but it's not something django-simple-bulma did, but something Bulma itself did.

Anyway, I recommend you simply define your own link color in BULMA_SETTINGS if you'd like something other than the new Bulma default. You can just define the blue variable, and set it back to #3273dc if you prefer that.

[lemonsaurus]

Here's an example of how you can define this variable using BULMA_SETTINGS in your settings.py:

BULMA_SETTINGS = {
  "variables": {
    "blue": "#3273dc",
  }
}

Cool. Thanks!

No problem, thanks for the report!
