stoplight redesign-white

I think it would be cool if we could make Stoplight more UI agnostic.

Agreed, when I did this I kept thinking about a 'theming' layout, but soon enough i was forced to change javascript rendering logic and it was too far down to be labeled under 'simple CSS tweaks'.

If this kind of theming that involves javascript files as well makes sense to you -- i.e. a theme is stoplight.white.js and stoplight.white.css, I can probably put some time into extracting into modules.

I'm not really sure what this UI offers that the existing one does not? I like the idea of displaying build times, but IMO this is too simplistic. I want to be able to look across a the room at a TV/monitor and see how many builds are failing.

I like the idea of having multiple "themes", but this seems a bit drastic and a step in the wrong direction. It looks more like greenscreen did back in the day.

I think you should keep the default theme but refactor so that nothing is coupled to the UI. That way if people want to spin their own theme it's more straightforward than having to rewrite the whole thing (what I did).

@ranman I'd love to take a look then, not sure I can find the right repo. @sethvargo that's perfectly fine, I guess for my own use case I was in need of something simpler. I'm not ruling out needing both the current stoplight UI with the sidebar and this one, which may make sense for me in the future.
So all in all I'd keep my version on my fork, I'll perhaps rename the fork or branch the changes to distinct it further.
Thanks :)

Similar to what @ranman said, the ideal situation would be "wordpress-like" where you can drop-in different stoplight themes.
