Bricks v2-2 - Must changes and bugs

First of all - Awesome update :sign_of_the_horns::folded_hands::raising_hands:

Some thing that really have to change in order to use the new features

  1. Style manager:
    1. Reorder color variables after creation

    2. Add custom options to a color variable, not just, shades and trans.
      For example I’ve created –action-primary and here i also want a hover and focus and other variants.
      Now we can create shades and trans but to be able to create variants would be nice.

    3. Override spacing to let me manually configure min and max for each variable and not use auto - like CF does:

    4. Same goes for text and other places where you use the scaling, give option to do manuel

    5. In the default variable manager there should also be the option to enter a min and max value.

Basicly, look at the options in CF when it comes to variables - it’s neat.

Absolutely agree! If the colour generator is essentially just generating variables, then it should be treated the same way with regards to sorting them how we want them. Would like to see this be a bit more consistent in behaviour with other variables / class organization tooling.

Hi Keviin,
Thanks so much for your (bug)report, or, as far as I can see, suggestions for improvement.
I’ll move this thread to the correct category, and we’ll check it once we gather more feedback on the new features. At first glance, it all sounds reasonable to me :slight_smile:

Best regards,
timmse

Absolutly essential!
I never get along with auto. Haven’t tried it myself yet so far. So thank you for pointing this out. Saves me the time and I will stick to CF for now…

Would be really nice to have these features all in Bricks - I have a lifetime licences for CF but the less plugins needed the better.

Agreed! We definitely need to be able to manually enter min and max values for spacing and typography.

For items 3 & 4, couldn’t you just wrap the variable in a clamp?

We really need all of these features—each one is important to make the new updates fully usable.

@timmse plz block this AI slop poster. Copy pasting same shit over to every other post.
