- Form pages
- Details page
- Tables
- Preferences tiles
- Tooltips

I'm unsure what you mean exactly by NavPage, but is this what you're referring to? I refer to it as the main content theming and then the invert content theming for when you are in the settings.
Content Theming:
Invert Content Theming:
NavPage is just the main pages like Containers, Images. Same header / major colors as Content Theming (what we call a form page) so this is likely enough for @feloy.
Today the forms (content theming) have a different bg color on the card in addition to the content-card-bg. Are we removing those? e.g. light gray here:
@ekidneyrh there is also this thin line below the tabs names, used in NavPage (see first screenshot - Containers List page) and FormPage (see second screenshot - Troubleshooting page), which is not defined in the Content Theming afaik. In the sources, it is defined as charcoal-400
for dark mode.

I forgot I made this change on the mock-ups when I first did this at the start of the year. IMO it looks cleaner, but that's up for debate I think. WDYT?

I still need to add this version of the screen in! But yes charcoal-400 is the way to go

What would be the color for light mode?
@ekidneyrh In the Content Theming as defined above, some color names are not prefixed by content-
(action-button
, action-button-text
, ghost-button
, card-checked-box-icon
). Is it on purpose? If so, does this mean that these colors are part of another theming (but displayed here for information)?

I haven't got to do that page up yet, but gray-700 seems like a reasonable choice.

I believe that bc those are colours that can be used else where / aren't unique to the content page.

Here's the theming for the +/- button. Added an error message underneath to aid colour-blind users
I've started adding the up-to-date colours to https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/wiki/Design-System-Theming for easier filing
Updated the description with where to find the current theming.
Will review tables, preferences tiles, and tooltips in coming days.
For tables, here are the colours:
Updated with arrows and updated in the nav page section on the wiki https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/wiki/Design-System-Theming#nav-page
As I was doing the preference tiles, I came across the drop-down and the toggle buttons, so I've included them in this ticket.
The drop-down follows the same values as the +/- button.
Preferences page This can also be referenced as the inverted content page
Tooltips What is currently implemented is good :) I documented it anyway for reference. Only change is the text for light.tooptip-text, I'd have that as charcoal-900 rather than black.
