SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Design a scalable theming architecture that supports multi-brand variants, dark mode, and high-contrast modes using a token-mapping approach.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Global tokens (raw palette) and semantic tokens (purpose-driven aliases) with per-brand overrides.
  • Runtime theme switching across light/dark/high-contrast and density modes for accessible, consistent UI.
  • Use Case: implement a family of brands with consistent visuals while enabling quick theme iteration.

Quick Start

Define a base token set and a dark mode variant, then apply theming to a sample component.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a scalable theming architecture for multi-brand applications?

A scalable theming architecture uses layered tokens—global, semantic, and component—to support multi-brand applications. This approach enables per-brand overrides and consistent visual application across UI libraries and design systems.

How does token mapping handle dark mode and high-contrast accessibility?

Token mapping handles dark mode and high-contrast accessibility by defining semantic tokens that map to raw palette values, enabling runtime theme switching while enforcing accessibility-aware mappings across light, dark, and high-contrast modes.

What is the difference between global and semantic tokens in a design system?

Global tokens represent the raw palette, whereas semantic tokens are purpose-driven aliases that reference global tokens. Semantic tokens allow developers to apply per-brand overrides and support density modes without altering underlying raw values.

Can I use CSS variables for runtime theme switching across brand variants?

Yes, the theming system enables CSS variables per theme to facilitate runtime theme switching. This allows applications to instantly toggle between brand variants, light/dark modes, and high-contrast settings without reloading.

Does this theming approach work across different UI libraries?

Yes, the token-mapping approach applies across various UI libraries and design systems. By defining a base token set and applying layered semantic tokens, you can implement consistent theming that supports quick iteration across different component ecosystems.
