Hi Front team 👋
We have a plugin which is created using @frontapp/ui-kit, and we’ve run into a limitation regarding dark theme support.
At the moment, most (if not all) component colors in the UI Kit appear to be hardcoded. Because of this, there’s no straightforward way to support a dark theme in our plugin without overriding the existing component styles.
While overriding styles is technically possible, it doesn’t feel like a clean or sustainable solution, especially considering future updates to the UI Kit.
We’d like to ask:
-
Are there any plans to introduce official dark theme support in
@frontapp/ui-kit? -
Is there (or will there be) a theming system using design tokens, CSS variables, or similar approaches?
-
What is the recommended best practice for supporting dark mode in Front plugins today?
