When using snowwhite with box-shadows, tags should have a box-shadow, too

[BurningTreeC]

It looks very good when tags have the same box-shadow as tiddler frames
So I propose that tags get the same box-shadow when the selected theme is snowwhite

Hi @BurningTreeC this is a fun area for experimentation. A lot of the visual design of TW5 is quite old, from a time when everything was much simpler, and it's certainly worth keeping it all under review.

In the case of the tag pills, I experimented with lots of variants, but the things I remember are:

• I felt that drop shadows took the tags out of the tiddler, making them float above it. In turn, I felt that undermined the important drop shadow: the one that makes tiddlers look like cards hovering over the page
• I tried embossed text in the tag pull, which I liked, and I think was the default for a year or two. We simplified it to improve performance and compatibility (in ~2013/4)

So, perhaps the question here is how should such tweaks be distributed. The best option at present would be a plugin that contains the relevant stylesheet and, optionally, a tiddler containing a user interface for enabling/configuring the feature. Perhaps we might add a new system tag to enable that UI to be displayed at the bottom of the existing "Theme Tweaks" tab.

I believe vanilla and snowwhite needs an overhaul!
many things changed from the time these theme were designed! see issue with color palettes in other thread!

It needs to be a new theme then.

I do like snowwhite but I don't like additional "height" in elements inside the tiddler.

Ok I understand that

[BurningTreeC]

for a new theme the change is too small

[pmario]

Why? I think it could be named "Snowwhite plus" and add some tweaks to snowwhite

[BurningTreeC]

Ok, then I need to brainstorm which tweaks can be added
