v2025.04
Accessibility and UI Cleanup
Written and coded by @stephanieleary
This version includes a major rewrite of the CORAL user interface focused on accessibility, internationalization, and mobile-first responsive layout principles. To reduce maintenance debt, it consolidates CSS, JS, and header and footer templates into the core directory.
The new UI features a two-level navigation bar, replacing the module switch dropdown. It does not rely on a third-party CSS framework. It incorporates the Bootstrap Reboot core styles and generally follows Bootstrap class naming conventions. The colors are a subset of the Tailwind CSS palette. The main CSS file includes light and dark color modes, print styles, and forced colors / high contrast mode support.
The update includes all modules, with a few exceptions:
- most of the Reports interface
- EBSCO Knowledgebase integrations
- PIG-related files
