Two fixes + a memory entry in CLAUDE.md.
=== Dark mode ===
User: "when I change the theme the whole background does not turn
dark like the other pages does". Digging through Odoo 19 source:
/_dependencies/web_enterprise/static/src/scss/
bootstrap_overridden.dark.scss
primary_variables.dark.scss
secondary_variables.dark.scss
Odoo doesn't flip dark mode via a runtime .o_dark_mode class on the
DOM — it compiles a SEPARATE asset bundle where $o-webclient-color-
scheme: dark is set, which redefines every --bs-* token with dark
values. When the user toggles dark mode, Odoo swaps the whole CSS
bundle.
So my previous :root[data-bs-theme="dark"] { --fp-page-bg: #13161a; }
block was DEAD CODE — nothing ever sets data-bs-theme on the root.
Fixed: tokens now fall through to Bootstrap's --bs-* semantic tokens
before hitting a hex default, so they auto-invert when Odoo swaps
bundles. Three-level fallback chain:
$fp-page : var(--fp-page-bg,
var(--bs-tertiary-bg, #f3f4f6));
$fp-card : var(--fp-card-bg,
var(--bs-card-bg,
var(--o-view-background-color, #ffffff)));
$fp-border : var(--fp-border-color,
var(--bs-border-color, #d8dadd));
$fp-ink : var(--fp-ink, var(--bs-body-color, #1f2937));
Dead .o_dark_mode block removed. No runtime selector needed.
=== Quick View button ===
User: "Quick View button color is white with white button in light
mode." Cause: Bootstrap's .btn-primary loads AFTER our custom CSS
in the bundle and resets color: #fff, background: var(--bs-btn-bg)
— which clobbered our $fp-accent / $fp-ink assignment because a
later rule at the same specificity wins.
Fix: split the primary button into its own rule with higher
specificity (.o_fp_manager .o_fp_manager_head_actions .btn.btn-primary)
and !important on the three key properties — so Bootstrap can't
shout us down. Hover uses brightness(1.08) for a subtle darken
without needing another color assignment.
=== CLAUDE.md additions ===
Added two new rules documenting the lessons so this isn't relearned:
Rule 8 — Odoo 19 forbids @import in custom SCSS (silent warning,
falls back to cached bundle). Register partials in the assets list
in load order; SCSS variables cascade through the bundle.
"Card Styling — Copy Odoo's Kanban Pattern" section explaining:
- Don't rely on --bs-border-color directly for card surfaces
- Chain through $fp-* → --fp-* → --bs-* → hex
- 3-layer contrast rule (page → container → card)
- Reference _fp_shopfloor_tokens.scss as canonical
"Asset Bundle Cache Busting" section with 4-step escalation path
for when CSS changes don't show up in browser.
Verified: bundle regenerated to /web/assets/b48ab17/web.assets_backend.min.css
(id 1945). Card rule compiled with full fallback chain visible.
Primary button carries !important modifier for bg/border/color.
