Legacy theme nova is hardcoded

[mikewegele]

Summary

In uiLayer.tsx the legacy (and ugly) theme "Nova" is imported: import 'primereact/resources/themes/nova/theme.css';. It seems this theme is no longer supported.

• Why is a theme hardcoded? Does the framework offer a way to change the theme?
• Is that theme part of an UI strategy? As a user I expect the framework to ship a custom IAV theme that is based on a modern design.

Steps to reproduce

• Checkout template project and serve it
• Insert below code into ExampleComponent2
• See how ugly the theme renders TabView

      <TabView>
    <TabPanel header="Header I">
        <p className="m-0">
            Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. 
            Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo
            consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. 
            Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
        </p>
    </TabPanel>
    <TabPanel header="Header II">
        <p className="m-0">
            Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, 
            eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo
            enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui 
            ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. Consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi.
        </p>
    </TabPanel>
    <TabPanel header="Header III">
        <p className="m-0">
            At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti 
            quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in
            culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. 
            Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus.
        </p>
    </TabPanel>
</TabView>

What is the current bug behavior?

See description.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Framework should ship a IAV theme based on a supported nice-looking prime theme.

Is anyone currently working on this? It would be nice to select a different Theme since Prime components within the IAV framework render out way more different than shown in the official Prime documentation.

Hi, yes I started with the fact that the user can integrate many more PrimeReact themes.
Are you interested in integrating PrimeReact themes or themes from other UI libraries?

[pandanmochi]

So far I only thought about the PrimeReact themes. The IAV Styleguide uses Ant Design System, maybe this could also be considered.

Currently I'm modularizing the Framework. The first modules will be Authentication, Routing and Internationalization. However, we also plan to modularize the UI parts. When this is done you can simply write your own UI module using Ant Design.
