10-15 minutes

Design tokens docsite known issues

@Brian Smith

  • https://github.com/openedx/paragon/pull/3158#issuecomment-2272627245

    • Playground not applying @edx/brand-edx.org styles. Not a blocker.

      • Long-term, we want the ability for the docs site to allow consumers to supply any theme.

  • Question: Will we want a 22 version of the docsite live too once alpha merges into master?

    • Add version dropdown?

      • This could be a large lift. Middle ground could be hardcoded links to different versions.

      • Also deploy versions of the docsite that correspond with versions of Paragon available in any given named release

    • [inform] We have a deployed v2 docs site here: https://paragon-openedx-v2.netlify.app/

    • @Brian Smith will figure out the plan for moving to Axim Algolia/Netlify accounts

    • Segment?

      • @Brian Smith to look into if Axim has GA or other Segment alternatives.

        • 2U will need to share Segment key with Axim in short term if we don’t move away from Segment

5-10 minutes

Figma reference for Open edX theme

@Glib Glugovskiy

Question about Open edX Paragon Figma Version

  • The current Figma file from paragon docs site is styled with @edx/brand-edx.org theme, not @openedx/brand-openedx (2U-specific)

    • At 2U, edx.org is now using a different Figma library using @edx/elm-theme.

  • Are there any plans for creating Figma library compatible with the default Paragon theme?

    • Discussion about this in the UI/UX working group coming up.

    • Goal is to have shared Figma.

    • [open question] Will the Figma library have support for theme variants?

  • [long term] would be great for Figma to integrate with implemented code (e.g., color changes in GitHub repo should sync with Figma library, and possibly vice-versa).

5 minutes

Different Open edX themes support

@Glib Glugovskiy

Different design token theme examples (dark, color pallete, etc)

  • Currently, the Paragon design only supports light theme variant.

  • Is the design tokens project include scope of creating these additional theme variants?

    • No. Only the support for the theme variants is implemented, but not the theme variants themselves.

  • Should there be documentation / examples on how consumers/instances could extend the default light Paragon theme variant?

    • How do we document this without creating a full-blown theme variant in Paragon itself?

    • The intent (initially) would largely be illustrative only.
