Requirements
Maintain the Classic theme as an option
To ensure the engineering stability of the feature, themes could not be made available for all product areas at once. There would be gradual beta releases to different sets of customers. Therefore, we still needed to support the Classic theme in net-new designs.
Even for customers that would be getting themes, we wanted to give them the option to keep using the Classic theme, in case they weren’t yet ready to switch to an entirely different look and feel.
Include Auto as an option
Like other products that support dark mode, we want to include an optional setting to have the Rubrik UI follow the setting of the user's computer’s OS.
Allow the user to preview the themes
Without seeing what each theme looks like, it may be hard to decide which theme to select. We want to have the UI change into the new theme once the user clicks on the option, without having to hit Save.
