OpenUI-WHATWG/HTML-CSSWG Meeting

CSS UI- appearance: base to enable interoperable styling of controls/components (Issue #5998)

• The group resumed the conversation to reach a decision as to if the best approach to styling of controls/components is opting in via a CSS property
• Anne shared a presentation outlining webkit’s vision for appearance:base to ground the group in a common purpose and language.
• The biggest concern with the presentation was the approach to pickers
  • Pickers were presented as being specced later than other elements and some folks thought it needed to be tackled earlier.
  • The feature rollout for pickers was discussed and it was clarified that the proposal intended a pseudo element to allow detection.
  • A separate issue will be opened to address pickers so this discussion can continue.
• There was discussion around the difference in implementation between appearance:none and appearance:base to avoid some compat problems.
• Achieving the full vision may require HTML work, but there was agreement that the opt-in should be in CSS.

• Resolved: Use css to opt into styleable mode
