Cast

Version 1.0.0-beta.6

July 29, 2026

Fixed

  • Craft writes a --gray-* step out as a literal in a few dozen rules, which a theme moving the ramp then leaves behind. The sticky header and footer, live preview's headers, h6, optgroup and autosuggest headers, header button hovers, pane headers, dashed buttons, flex-field dividers and disabled table cells now read the ramp — in a new _shared.css, so a project theme gets them too.
  • Colour swatches and transparent asset thumbnails drew their chequerboard in the same literal, so an unset colour read as a dark blob. The card drag placeholder took it as a dashed border.
  • A colour cell in a table took the code block fill across its whole width, and the # prefix inside it took another. Craft puts .code on an editable table's cells for a monospace column and pairs it with .light on a muted label, neither meaning a code block, so cells and .light labels now join the form controls the fill skips. Menu item descriptions come with them.
  • The white veils Craft lays over a region while it works stayed white: behind an asset upload's progress bar, over an element index mid-refresh, and over the icon picker while it loads. Tooltips went with them.
  • --fg-input is written out in four rules, leaving their outlines on Craft's blue while every control fill around them followed the theme: dashed buttons like an editable table's Add a row, grouped and hairline panes, the card view designer's preview, and the details pane's unfocused inputs.
  • Three declarations in the dark base mixed hsl()'s comma and slash syntaxes, so browsers threw them out whole. The dark sticky header, the element index's refresh veil and live preview's headers had been falling back to Craft's own colour.

Version 1.0.0-beta.5

July 29, 2026

Fixed

  • CKEditor fields kept a faint hairline under the high contrast themes, where the inputs beside them take a solid border.
  • Stone and Stone Dark drew text inputs, password fields, CodeMirror, multiselects and CKEditor fields with Craft's blue-grey border, pinned past the ramp.
  • Stone drew hairline buttons, context labels and menus, and the condition footer in the same blue-grey.

Version 1.0.0-beta.4

July 25, 2026

Changed

  • The high contrast themes are rebuilt on pure white and pure black, a desaturated ramp, and a solid border on every container.

Fixed

  • JSON fields stayed white on every dark theme, CodeMirror painting the editor from the same selector Craft points at --input-bg.
  • Matrix blocks and cards sank below the pane they're inset into on every dark theme.
  • The field layout designer lost most of its edges on dark themes, and field handles picked up the code block fill.
  • Under high contrast, cards, chips, Matrix blocks, grouped fields, selects, menus and the Settings tiles' hover state had no border to speak of.

Version 1.0.0-beta.3

July 21, 2026

Added

  • Stone and Stone Dark themes, based on Tailwind's stone ramp, a warm neutral.

Fixed

  • data-cast-ignore did nothing under a light theme, the reset being scoped to dark. Same for the Plugin Store, exempted through the same rules.

Version 1.0.0-beta.2

July 20, 2026

Fixed

  • Colour-coded Matrix blocks, cards and relation chips kept their light tint in dark modes.
  • The CKEditor toolbar and its floating panels stayed white, being pinned past Craft's own tokens.
  • Fields in a .flex-fields row drew a brighter divider wherever one landed on the container's edge.
  • The icon preview took a browser-default border, having asked for a variable Craft never defines.

Version 1.0.0-beta.1

July 20, 2026

Added

  • Colour modes for the control panel, driven by Craft's own CSS custom properties. An inline head script stamps the active theme onto <html>, so there's no flash.
  • Bundled themes: Dark, Dim, High Contrast and High Contrast (Dark).
  • Auto mode, a configurable light/dark pair following prefers-color-scheme. It's not a theme — anyone set to Auto ignores the default.
  • Per-user picker on Account → Preferences with live preview, and a switcher in the account menu.
  • Site-wide default theme and an Available themes allowlist in the plugin settings.
  • Button colour setting — nine fills for primary buttons. Most clear WCAG AA for their white label; amber-600 is a deliberate exception at 3.19:1.
  • Project themes: drop a .css file in cast-themes/, handle from the filename and the rest from a header comment. Underscore-prefixed files are partials. Relocatable with themesPath.
  • Read-only Themes tab in the settings, listing every registered theme and any file that couldn't be read as one.
  • Themes::EVENT_REGISTER_THEMES, so other plugins and modules can register colour modes.
  • A commented src/config.php to copy to config/cast.php.
