Step 4 of the app-wide design plan. The image, video, audio, PDF, text, Markdown and email previewers, their full-screen views and their loading, prompt and failure states now draw from ardrive_ui's new generation only.

Screenshots, before (staging) and after, both themes, desktop and phone: https://claude.ai/artifact/EzCDJkiFLf9ZTHPTonkC7Y

Design system

  • ArDriveOnDark draws its child with the dark theme's tokens in either theme, for a surface that is dark in both, such as a video's stage. The stage's words, spinner and button used literal whites before. Listed in the ardrive_ui README.

Previewers

  • One player chrome for the inline, full-screen and audio players: a flat primary play button, named icon buttons, times in tabular figures, one seek-bar style on tokens.
  • The speed menu ticks the current speed. On a phone it's the standard bottom sheet with a title (it was an untitled, low-contrast list).
  • Status states (loading, downloading, decrypting, large-file prompt, failure) on the new type, tokens, ArDriveSpinner and ArDriveLinearProgress. Preview unavailable and Too large use the same layout.
  • The preview card and its bar are one surface (containerRaised); the bar was a shade off.
  • Email attachments open in the standard dialog through showArDriveDialog. They bypassed the activity tracker.
  • The PDF bar, fallback card and Open button are on tokens and ArDriveButtonNew.

Bugs fixed

  • The play button had no accessible name, and the speed, skip, mute, page and image navigation buttons had no tooltip: a screen reader heard "button".
  • Copy said it copied even when the browser refused. It now says "Couldn't copy".
  • The type label under a preview (PNG, TXT) was under 2:1 on light. It's textLow now.
  • The inline plain-text view had no colour of its own.
  • About 30 hard-coded English strings in the document and email previewers are now in app_en.arb.
  • The full-screen player called setState inside setState.
  • Dead Courier New / monospace font names removed. The package's type styles prefixed them into families that don't exist, so text has always been Wavehaus. No visible change.

Shared file page

The players are shared with the recipient page. Only their own chrome changed there: times and icons use the text and icon tokens, which clear 7:1 on that card. The page around them is untouched (step 7). The raw-transaction preview on /view is also left for step 7.

Testing

  • flutter analyze: clean.
  • App suite: 4,027 passed, 5 skipped. The one failure in the first run (the sentence-case rule flagged "HTML") is fixed: the label is now "HTML source", which is what that view shows.
  • ardrive_ui: 190 passed.
  • New tests: named controls, the phone speed sheet, dark tokens on the video stage (it caught a real bug during the work), plain-text colour, the copy result, ArDriveOnDark.
  • Release build driven in the e2e harness against the Library QA drive: every public preview type, full screen, speed menus, phone width, both themes, and the shared file page. No uploads.

Open question

The app bundles no monospace face, so plain text and code render in Wavehaus. Adding one (roughly 100 KB) is a bundle-size call.

Step 4 of the app-wide design plan. The image, video, audio, PDF, text,
Markdown and email previewers, their full-screen views and their
loading, prompt and failure states now draw from ardrive_ui's new
generation only.

Design system, fixed at the source:
- ArDriveOnDark draws its child with the dark theme's tokens in either
  theme, for a surface that is dark in both, such as a video's stage.
  The stage's words, spinner and button used literal whites before.

Previewers:
- one player chrome for the inline, full-screen and audio players: a
  flat primary play button, named icon buttons, times in tabular
  figures, one seek-bar style on tokens
- the speed menu ticks the current speed; on a phone it is the
  standard bottom sheet with a title
- status states on the new type, tokens, ArDriveSpinner and
  ArDriveLinearProgress; Preview unavailable and Too large use the same
  layout as the other states
- the preview card and its bar are one surface (containerRaised)
- email attachments open in the standard dialog via showArDriveDialog
  (they bypassed the activity tracker)
- PDF bar, fallback card and Open button on tokens and ArDriveButtonNew

Bugs fixed:
- the play button had no accessible name; speed, skip, mute, page and
  image navigation buttons had no tooltip
- Copy said it copied even when the browser refused
- the type label under a preview was under 2:1 contrast on light
- the inline plain-text view had no colour of its own
- about 30 hard-coded English strings in the document and email
  previewers are now in app_en.arb
- the full-screen player called setState inside setState
- dead Courier New / monospace font names removed: the package's type
  prefixed them into families that do not exist, so text was always
  Wavehaus

Tests: named controls, the phone speed sheet, dark tokens on the video
stage, plain-text colour and the copy result; ArDriveOnDark in
ardrive_ui.

Walkthrough

This PR updates drive preview widgets to use typed design-system tokens, shared controls, and localized labels. It adds a shared email attachment dialog and clipboard feedback helper, introduces ArDriveOnDark for dark surfaces, and adds tests for preview styling, accessibility labels, clipboard outcomes, and playback-speed selection.

Changes: Preview UI and controls

Document preview and clipboard feedback
lib/pages/drive_detail/components/document_preview_widget.dart, test/pages/drive_detail/components/document_preview_widget_test.dart
Document previews use typed theme tokens and localized controls. Clipboard actions await completion and display localized success or failure feedback.
Shared email attachment previews
lib/pages/drive_detail/components/email_attachment_preview_dialog.dart, lib/pages/drive_detail/components/email_attachment_list.dart, lib/pages/drive_detail/components/email_attachment_preview_stub.dart, lib/pages/drive_detail/components/email_attachment_preview_web.dart
Adds a shared attachment dialog and uses it for image, text, audio, and video previews. Attachment labels and preview warnings use localization.
Email message preview
lib/pages/drive_detail/components/email_preview_widget.dart
Email previews use typed theme tokens and localized labels and controls. Copying delegates to the shared clipboard feedback helper.
PDF and unavailable preview surfaces
lib/pages/drive_detail/components/pdf_preview_widget.dart, lib/pages/drive_detail/components/unpreviewable_content.dart
PDF controls and fallback content use shared theme tokens and components. Unpreviewable content uses a theme-colored icon and updated typography.

- Around line 15-22: Update ArDriveOnDark.build so it detects dark mode from the
color-token mode rather than ArDriveThemeData.name. Use an explicit mode
discriminator or a value comparison that recognizes separately allocated
dark-token objects, ensuring a theme with light tokens still receives the dark
theme even when its name is "dark".

Comment thread packages/ardrive_ui/lib/src/components/on_dark.dart Outdated
A theme built with light tokens and no name is named "dark", so the
shortcut that returned the child unchanged under a dark-named theme
could leave light tokens on a dark surface.
