MUI Theme Enhancement: Design System Implementation #104
Description
Objective
Implement a comprehensive Material UI theme configuration to establish a consistent design system across the application.
Current Limitations
- Minimal theme configuration (only primary color defined)
- Inconsistent component styling
- Lack of semantic color palette
- No standardized typography
Proposed Enhancements
Color Palette
- Primary: Volcano orange (#E34C26)
- Secondary: Grey (#424242)
- Semantic Colors:
- Error, Warning, Success, Info states
- Background:
- Default: #f8f9fa
- Paper: #ffffff
Typography
- Standardized heading styles (h1-h6)
- Consistent button text styling (no uppercase, medium-bold)
Component Overrides
| Component | Styling Changes |
|---|---|
| Button | Rounded corners, custom hover effects |
| Card | Defined elevation and border radius |
| TextField | Rounded input fields |
| TableCell | Bold header styling |
| Drawer | Light background |
| AppBar | Custom grey header color |
Implementation Tasks
- Create enhanced theme configuration
- Apply theme provider to application root
- Test visual consistency across all pages
- Document theme usage guidelines
- (Future) Add dark mode support via
palette.mode
Acceptance Criteria
- All components adhere to the new theme standards
- Visual consistency across application
- Comprehensive theme documentation available
- No regression in existing functionality
Additional Considerations
- Ensure theme supports accessibility standards
- Maintain scalability for future enhancements
- Consider creating design tokens for key values
