Consider prettier default theme for 'purescript-flare' #29

Closed chshersh closed 6 years ago

I would like to use purescript-flare as main library for for my frontend! But it's also would be good to have some pretty theme. Something like colorful material design.. Or something simpler 🙂 I'm a CSS guru, so I can't do this... But this would be really great to have!

Here is my question about similar library on Reddit:

Thank you for the feedback!

The provided main.css file in the html folder is meant for the example cases - not as a default theme for Flare UIs. I don't think this is the right place to ask for a "pretty theme" because design is something that can (and should) be controlled independently from the frontend code and library.

Granted, Flare does attach some CSS classes to its components, but these are just meant as an additional hook for webpage designers to modify just the components that are handled by Flare. You should be able to use existing style sheets and they should work fine with Flare components.

@sharkdp Thanks a lot for your answer! I understand that design better be done separately. I just wish there exist some pretty theme which I can just copy-paste. Or something like runFlarePrettyHTML instead of just runFlareHTML.

I believe that something like https://purecss.io/ or http://getskeleton.com/ should work out of the box.
