Minutes Telecon 2020-08-19
- Resolved: Reject proposal, no change to semicolons (Issue #5413: Voluntary semicolons)
- Implementors are requested to review the proposal to alter how ratio-constrained elements are sized in definite-sized Grid/Flexbox containers (Issue #5317). The proposal is to contain-fit the image into the available space instead of the current behavior in the spec which is to calculate its max-content size using the inline axis of the containing block.
- Resolved: System colors will be accepted as specified, everything else is forced (Issue #4178: More granular overriding of forced colors mode than per-element)
- In response to the working group’s request for a more detailed proposal a possible spec was written for review (Issue #5187: Allow specifying the “accent color” of a form control element).
- The general approach to let an author define what the accent color should be and then additional colors was generally accepted.
- The proposal has a mapping for each form control to which color is ‘primary’ and which is ‘contrasting’. There is a request to have more examples of each form control including historic designs to make sure the mapping holds up. There was also a question about how gradients would be handled.
- The biggest concern expressed is that being too exact in the definition will limit future variations on form controls. The proposal was written to be extensible but the exact mapping may still impose constraints. There will need to be a balance between defining too much and creating limitations in the future versus defining too little and having authors not want to use the property or everyone have to conform to the first implementation.
- There wasn’t time on the call to develop next steps for this proposal so it will be at the top of next week’s agenda.
