Theme designer / customizer / generator

[dagnelies]

Hi,

I found this recently:

• https://github.com/js-works/shoelace-theme-designer
• https://shoelace-theme-designer.vercel.app

I don't know how up to date it is or not, but it might be interesting. Perhaps a good fit as a link in https://shoelace.style/getting-started/themes

Nevermind, half of it is buggy ...only overriding the variables works

@dagnelies: I was the author of this shoelace theme designer. This project is actually dead (I've updated its README.md a couple of minutes ago to make things clear). Hmm, frankly I'm not really sure why it is not working any longer, maybe my latest changes two years ago were fatal, whatever ... Actually, at least in an earlier version the designer was working as expected.

It seems that in the SL community there's not really a need for such a theme designer. And I personally have never really used it myself because I prefer generating my themes dynamically (which is something I really think is great and very useful, but is also something that nobody else in the community really needs or wants).

Oh, nice! I also don't think it's useless, quite the opposite actually! Mainly for two reasons:

• to get a quick overview of how it looks
• because it's faster than doing it manually

Too bad it's dead, it was a nice idea. 😞 ... I think it was just unknown.

I'm searching for a similar tool. It would definitely be useful!
