widget_list_theme_ai

A dark, luminous theme for widget_list. It pairs midnight navy surfaces with cyan and violet accents, strong table contrast, compact controls, and a clear system font stack. The stylesheet stays inside widget_list grids, so it does not restyle the rest of a Rails app. No remote fonts, images, or JavaScript are required.

The grid uses this gem; the surrounding page shell is part of the Rails 8 example app.

Version 0.1.0 is published on RubyGems. The theme targets widget_list 2.0.1 or newer on Rails 8 with Sprockets.

Add these gems to your Rails app's Gemfile:

gem 'sprockets-rails'
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'widget_list', '~> 2.0', '>= 2.0.1'
gem 'widget_list_theme_ai', '0.1.0'

Then run bundle install. Add the theme stylesheet to app/assets/config/manifest.js:

//= link widget_list_theme_ai.css

Load it after widget_list's styles in your layout:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', 'widget_list', 'widgets', 'widget_list_theme_ai' %>

The theme automatically supplies widget_list defaults when Bundler requires the gem. Existing lists need no controller changes. Per-list options passed to WidgetList.go! still take precedence. Run bin/rails assets:precompile before deploying. The base gem's Rails 8 setup guide explains the required JavaScript and database setup.

The Rails 8 example demonstrates Sequel and Ransack lists plus the administration console. To see those lists with this theme, add gem 'widget_list_theme_ai', '0.1.0' to the example's Gemfile and follow the asset setup above. Then run bundle install, bin/rails db:prepare, bin/rails db:seed, and bin/rails server.

• Theme defaults provide colors, alternating rows, typography, and table settings through widget_list's existing WidgetListThemeHelper::ThemeDefaults hook.
• The CSS refines search, export, headers, rows, hover states, and pagination. It is scoped to .widget_list_outer and the theme's .wl-ai class.
• Focus rings remain visible, and motion is removed when the operating system requests reduced motion.
• The example app adds its own hero and page shell. Those styles are not part of this gem.

If your application provides its own WidgetListThemeHelper::ThemeDefaults, keep one theme provider loaded at a time or merge the desired settings into your own defaults class.
