This is the 75th weekly roundup of theme-related discussions, fixes, and developments in Gutenberg. Here are some highlights from the last week:
Update Color Picker UI
The existing UI for selecting a color can become unwieldy due to multiple duplicated color palettes being stacked. #37067 updates the color picker to improve this situation.
Alternative approach to global padding
The discussion to add a global padding to your site, that still allows some items to be full-width, is on-going. The current idea for solving this is here, and there are some issues / drawbacks with the approach that will take more consideration.
Opt into block styles via theme.json
Most theme supports can be now set in theme.json. There is an issue to allow wp-block-styles to also be opted into via theme.json: #37255
Global link styles override block’s link styles
#37262 reported an issue about the behavior of global link styles, with styles of block’s that contain links (e.g. the Post Title, Post Date, Post Categories). The global link styles are currently always taking precedence over the theme.json and block styles.
