OliveroThis initiative seeks to create a new default front-end theme with a modern look and feel.

What are we working on?

The initiative's main priorities are:

  • Updated modern design: Our intention is to design a theme that feels modern and ages well. Design elements such as drop shadows, and gradients are used sparingly while typography, animation and color palettes have been thought out.
  • Functionality that supports new features: We want the theme to include support for recent commonly used Drupal functionality such as second-level navigation, embedded media, layout builder, and more.
  • WCAG AA Conformance: The theme will be WCAG AA conformant. We will be working closely with accessibility experts and the Drupal Accessibility team to ensure that the theme passes Drupal’s stringent accessibility standards with flying colors.
