ThemeSideBar: UI improvements #71

Closed Zuurkern closed 6 years ago

Zuurkern commented 6 years ago

I want to improve the UI of the theming sidebar but I am a bit puzzled about how to go about this.

What's the best way to see the changes I am making while I'm developing? Or @UsulPro what did you use to create it?

Also related to Material UI next support as I want to use their components to create a better UI.

I also noticed it's built with inline styles at the moment. Do you think we could leverage JSS as well for these improvements?

HI @Zuurkern I'm really sorry for such late answer. But you raised pretty discussable questions and I couldn't respond without deeper research about how storybook-addon-material-ui should look and work in the future. Now I can explain that I'm sure theme sidebar should be removed since it's legacy solution from Storybook 1 version. Instead, I want to keep all themes manipulation in the addon panel, possible a few panels after new layout will be implemented. I suppose it'll be realized in parallel with Material-UI v1 support. JSS based styles are one of the features I'd like to be implemented first as well.

closing this since we have #62 to track v1 version

and again I am sorry that I did not react to this earlier :disappointed: If you have more ideas or want to contribute you're really welcome!
