Nebular 4.0 will get an update to Theme System, we need your help.

Good day Nebular users! I have a couple of wonderful news for you 🎉

As some of you might already noticed, we are heavily working on something new. 😃 And it’s time to reveal our plans and also aks a bit for your help.

Starting from Nebular 4.0 we will be updating Nebular components design and also upgrading Theme System to support various designs in the future!💅

We are looking to simplify the theming process and make it more convenient, obvious and unified across all of the components bringing application based on Nebular to the next level of quality and awesomeness:🚀

• with New Beautiful Design
• more convenient and flexible theming process
• unified components interface
• support of CSS-variables
• and other great features

On the other side, great new things come at a price, and it’s Breaking Changes in our case. At the moment we envision the following:

• changes in components HTML structure
• changes in components styles and internal selectors
• changes in Theme Map, unification of variables, removal of unnecessary ones and integration of new
• changes in the color pallet
• unification of component @Inputs and possibly @Ouputs

❗️ That’s why we are looking for your feedback. We would really appreciate hearing your experience on the following points:

• Do you use custom Nebular Themes? Theme example or at least a count of changes (variables changed) is appreciated.
• Do you use multiple run-time Themes?
• Do you customize Nebular styles with custom css? How big are those customizations?

Thanks in advance for your help, let’s bring Nebular to the new level together!

P.S. Work in progress is available in the next dev branch. And some more info is in the CHANGELOG file.

First and foremost, thanks for your wonderful work.

I have never been to Belarus 🇧🇾 but knowing that great team is producing such a nice and open source project and that I have also remotely worked with someone in Minsk put the city on my Cities to visit list.

I teach Angular and provide quick and dirty tutorials based on Avkeo’s Documentation to College Kids

For an online client, I base their custom Theme out off the Corporate Theme

☑️ Do you use custom Nebular Themes? Theme example or at least a count of changes (variables changed) is appreciated.

☑️ Do you use multiple run-time Themes? see below source code

☑️ Do you customize Nebular styles with custom css? How big are those customizations?

Tiny i.e. crave.scss file

One great library I like is the Avkeo’s @Nebular/Auth, another quick and dirty Tutorial for the students.

https://github.com/CollegeBoreal/Tutoriels/tree/master/3.Angular/A.Auth

It helps me explain the HTTP Interceptors in a module configuration tested again Scala oAuth2 backends. I have yet to test the @Nebular/Security requested by another remote client.

Keep it cool guys and thanks for the great and free work! 👏
