Jetpack Compose: Dialog confirm button cannot be styled for Material 3 apps

svenjacobs opened this issue ยท 6 comments

Since AboutLibraries for Compose is based on Material 2, the only possibility for Material 3 apps to style this library is via the colors parameter of LibrariesContainer. Unfortunately there is no parameter in LibraryDefaults.libraryColors() that sets the confirm button text color.

So in LicenseDialog the Text composable inside TextButton implicitly takes the color from the Material 2 MaterialTheme CompositionLocal which is not declared (or let's say defined with custom colors) for Material 3 apps. So we get the (ugly ๐Ÿ˜‰) default purple color.

That is a great report. Would you have the bandwidth to contribute a fix for this?
Thank you!

Sure, I will give it a try ๐Ÿ˜‰

@mikepenz See pull request #927

Thank you @svenjacobs

Going to get this into a small release. It's probably worth to consider upgrading to Material3 soon. Need to figure out how it handles compatibility for people ๐Ÿค”

@mikepenz That's an interesting problem because a big part of your library is to provide UI components. As we have seen in this issue, even simple components like Text are either provided and styled by M2 or M3 but not by both at the same time.

You probably have to create a new major version based on M3 and also support the previous M2 version for a while?
