Description

This is just an issue to keep track of the notion that we need a theme system.
We've yet to crystallise a nice syntax for this.

To write down a few thoughts we've not yet commited to:

  • Potentially we could have a file-backed theme system, wherein the theme is defined by a brand.yml-like file (hence tagging reader).
  • A lesson from ggplot2 is that a monolithic theme is a recipe for chaos. I'd be better to have granular bits of theme for particular components.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by clarifying the theme syntax and whether themes are file-backed. Compare the proposed granular component themes with the existing project structure, and consider the work complete only when the scope and design are agreed.
