Discussion: naming scheme

[thgoebel]

Some functions use color as the prefix verb, others use theme or tint.

What is the pattern here? When should I use which verb when adding functions?

• tint: currently used only with drawables. To apply a tint to the drawable.
• color: ?? (Used e.g. with MaterialButtons to apply tint to them.)
• theme ??

Good question, currently as mentioned rather inconsistent in use.

So I would say

• tint for actually tinting
• Color for any kind of coloring
• Theming for potentially multiple changes at once on an element and applying color tokens based on the Material 3 specification
