PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

🎫 Ticket compliance analysis 🔶 ISX-2340 - Partially compliant Compliant requirements: Remove “Shadow” section headers Use headers similar to component headers that allow for buttons Toolbar should use toolbar style: Height 20px Non-compliant requirements: Fix Auto-Save toggle padding/inline styles Use add icon for Add buttons (and add-more icon when multiple add actions exist) Action properties should use reorderable lists (remove/move options provided) Consider using a single helpbox for default setting explanation (reduce repetitive message/link) Requires further human verification: Toolbar should use toolbar style: Font regular (12pt)

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪ Small, theme/style-only changes, but needs quick verification across light/dark and common UI states (hover/focus/selected).

🏅 Score: 82 Clean and targeted styling update, but the new header typography may conflict with the ticket’s “regular” font requirement and needs UI verification across states/themes.

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 No security concerns identified

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Spec Mismatch The header styling enforces -unity-font-style: bold, while the ticket calls out toolbar text as regular; confirm this matches the intended “component header” look (and doesn’t regress the toolbar-style requirement). .body-panel-header { background-color: var(--unity-colors-toolbar-background); border-bottom-color: var(--unity-colors-toolbar-border); flex-direction: row; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 4px; padding-bottom: 4px; border-bottom-width: 1px; height: 20px; min-height: 20px; font-size: 12px; -unity-font-style: bold; align-items: center; justify-content: flex-start; -unity-text-align: middle-left; } UI State Coverage Only :hover is added for .properties-foldout-toggle; ensure other interaction states (focused/active/selected/expanded) remain readable and consistent with Unity editor styling in both themes. .properties-foldout-toggle { background-color: var(--input-editor-colors-properties-foldout); height: 20px; } .properties-foldout-toggle:hover { background-color: var(--input-editor-colors-properties-foldout-toggle-hover); } Theme Consistency New color tokens were introduced/changed for dark theme; verify contrast and consistency with surrounding toolbar/background tokens and ensure no other theme variants rely on the previous values. :root { --input-editor-colors-properties-foldout: #3E3E3E; --input-editor-colors-properties-foldout-border: #1A1A1A; --input-editor-colors-properties-foldout-toggle-hover: #474747; }

I think this looks like a straight downgrade but who am I to fight the designers. Looked at the headers in project wide actions window and input actions window view with Light/Dark modes. No problems interacting with the headers, adding interactions or tabbing through the headers.
