YaruPageIndicatorTheme

[jpnurmi]

We would like to customize YaruPageIndicator to look like this in the installer:

Perhaps we could expose some BoxDecoration properties such as shape, color, and border for the different states (current vs. past vs. future) via YaruPageIndicatorTheme(Data)?

That's a really good idea!
Have you already got some work in progress, or can I take it?

[jpnurmi]

Sure, feel free to. :) I didn't start anything yet besides browsing around Flutter to see what kind of decoration-related properties they usually have in the theming APIs. Shape and border etc. seem to be quite common. :)

@jpnurmi I'd like to introduce some breaking changes, related to the way of compute and expose dot spacing and size. But it's not something which justify a new minor version right away.
So what do you think of have a separate branch like 2.2-dev where we could work on some new breaking features.
And when we are satisfied of the result, this branch could be merged into main.

This would allow to us some work flexibilities.
Also, as much as the app base who use this library grow, as much we should take care of smooth migrations.

If we go in that way, I could introduce the page indicator theme in main right now, but in addition to that, I could go further in the dev branch.

@Jupi007 sounds like a good idea! don't stress too much about some layout breaks. it's a brand-new widget so not widely used yet :)

Cool, thanks :)

It is not that I'm really worried about it, but more that if we need to bump the minor version for each change like that, it will become a little bit a mess of version. And also, I like to make things clean 😉
