What

  • A ring-* is painted as an outline: WindStyle.ringOutline, a stroke over the element's box on its own corner radius, outside the edge, inside it for ring-inset, and moved out by ring-offset-* with the gap left unpainted. WDiv paints it in a foreground decoration; the ring no longer joins the box shadows.
  • WButton paints its ring-* (the same outline) and its shadow-*, both of which it parsed and dropped.
  • Docs: doc/borders/ring.md describes the outline; the ring-offset-white examples are gone, since Wind has no ring-offset colour and the class did nothing.

Why

Wind drew the ring as a spread BoxShadow. A browser clips a box-shadow to the outside of its element, which is why Tailwind's ring reads as an outline; Flutter does not clip it, so any element without a background filled with the ring colour. A host app's rail drew every keyboard-focused icon button as a solid blue block with the glyph lost inside it. The same shadow approach also covered the offset gap with the ring, and an inset ring sat under the background and never showed.

WButton built its Container from the parsed decoration alone, so a host app's dialog buttons showed no focus at all while Tab moved between them.

Testing

  • test/pixel/ring_outline_pixel_test.dart reads rendered pixels: a ringed element with no background stays empty inside with the ring just outside; a background is kept inside its ring; ring-offset-2 leaves a 2px unpainted gap; ring-inset draws inside the edge over the background. All four were red before.
  • test/widgets/w_button_test.dart: a focused button with focus:ring-2 gets the 2px outline; shadow-md casts a shadow. Both red before.
  • test/pixel/radius_ring_border_pixel_test.dart now characterizes the outline (width, outside alignment, no ring shadow on the box).
  • flutter analyze: clean. ./tool/coverage.sh 90: 1954 passed, 96.0%. python3 tool/check-docs.py: 0 issues. Example app analyzes clean.
  • Walked in a host app (web, desktop and phone): rail items, the bell and the magnifier draw an outline with the glyph readable inside; dialog buttons ring as Tab moves.

Behaviour change for adopters: a ring on an element without a background now shows the element through it rather than a solid fill, which is the Tailwind look. A test that read the ring from BoxDecoration.boxShadow reads the foreground decoration's border instead.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Rings now render as outlines around or inside elements, respecting ring offsets without filling the gap or altering the element’s box shadow.
    • Buttons now display configured shadows and ring outlines, including focus rings.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified how rings and ring offsets render. Wind does not provide ring-offset-{color} utilities.

Looks correct and ready to merge after one doc-comment fix. The outline geometry checks out, and the WButton shadow and ring are wired the same way as WDiv.

I checked the stroke math. With strokeAlign = 1 + 2·offset/width, Flutter's strokeOutset comes to width + offset and its strokeInset to -offset, so the gap is exactly ring-offset-*. RingParser always stores its defaults in ringWidth and ringColor, so a bare ring or ring-2 with no colour still gets an outline. And because WDiv wraps the ring box inside the later SizedBox, margin and clip, it tracks the sized box.

Minor

lib/src/parser/wind_style.dart:694: The new getter is inserted between needsInheritedFontSize's dartdoc and its declaration. As a result ringOutline's doc starts with "Whether an em [letterSpacing] has no [fontSize]…", and needsInheritedFontSize is left with no doc at all (maintainability). Move the ring doc and getter above line 689, or below the needsInheritedFontSize getter.

skills/wind-ui/SKILL.md:180: The new text says a ring is "an outline over the box, never a fill", and doc/borders/ring.md says the same. WInput._buildDecoration (lib/src/widgets/w_input.dart:1022-1028) still paints ringShadow as a spread BoxShadow. So a focused WInput(className: 'bg-transparent focus:ring-2 …') still fills with the ring colour, which contradicts the docs. Either route WInput through ringOutline too, or scope the claim to WDiv and WButton.

Tests

  • test/pixel/ring_outline_pixel_test.dart checks rendered pixels for four cases: no background, with a background, ring-offset-2, and ring-inset.
  • test/widgets/w_button_test.dart covers focus:ring-2 and shadow-md on WButton.
  • radius_ring_border_pixel_test.dart has been updated for the outline.
  • Both new test files clear the parser cache in setUp.

Preserve the box shape in the ring decoration.

If a WDiv uses an explicit WindStyle with BoxDecoration(shape: BoxShape.circle) and a configured ring, ringOutline paints a rectangle around the circular box. Copy decoration?.shape into the ring decoration. Flutter uses BoxDecoration.shape to select the circle or rectangle painted by a border. (api.flutter.dev)

Paint the ring outside the overflow clip.

If a WDiv uses overflow-hidden and an outside focus:ring-* without a rounded border, the later ClipRRect wraps this DecoratedBox. The clip removes the entire outside stroke, so the focused element has no visible ring. Keep the content clip, but place the ring outside that clip while retaining the box’s bounds. Flutter clips a ClipRRect child to its own bounds. (api.flutter.dev)

No new findings: the only new commit merges master into the branch and resolves its conflicts correctly.

Since my last review (8578f20), the one new commit is efea0fe. It merges master into the branch, which brings in the WPopover keyboard work from #238 (w_popover.dart, its docs, the example and keyboard_test.dart). That code was reviewed in its own pull request and isn't re-reviewed here. I checked the two places where the merge had to choose between the branches:

  • CHANGELOG.md: it keeps both the ring and WButton entries and the popover entry under ### Fixed, and drops nothing.
  • skills/wind-ui/SKILL.md: both branches had raised the frontmatter version from 2.23.0 to 2.24.0. The merge sets it to 2.25.0, which counts each API change once, as CLAUDE.md asks for API-surface changes.

My earlier two Minor findings are unchanged because this push doesn't touch them: the misplaced ringOutline doc comment in wind_style.dart, and WInput still painting its ring as a spread BoxShadow.

Tests

The merge adds test/widgets/w_popover/keyboard_test.dart from master. The ring and WButton tests are unchanged from the last review.

Both Minors fixed in e718166.

  1. lib/src/parser/wind_style.dart (doc placement): agreed. ringOutline and its doc now sit together at lib/src/parser/wind_style.dart:703, above needsInheritedFontSize, which has its own doc back directly over it at :730.

  2. WInput (docs vs behaviour): agreed, the claim was wider than the code. WInput now paints the same outline: _buildDecoration no longer sets ringShadow as the box shadow (it still promotes the ring to the border, as before), and the build wraps the field in a foreground DecoratedBox with ringOutline on the field's own radius while focused (lib/src/widgets/w_input.dart:891). A filled field looks as it did; a transparent one no longer fills with the ring colour. New test test/widgets/w_input_test.dart:944: a focused bg-transparent focus:ring-2 field has no box shadow, a 2px outside outline, and the outline follows the field's radius. It failed before the change.

flutter analyze: no issues. ./tool/coverage.sh 90: 1971 passed, 96.0%. python3 tool/check-docs.py: 0 issues. CHANGELOG notes the WInput part. Walked in a host app: dialog buttons ring as outlines with their fill intact; no field in that app carries a ring class, so the WInput path is covered by the widget test.

@kodizm please re-review.

Both earlier Minors are fixed in e718166, and the WInput outline is correct. One comment still names a symbol that doesn't exist; otherwise this is ready to merge.

This review covers only efea0fe..e718166: wind_style.dart, w_input.dart, w_input_test.dart and CHANGELOG.md.

  • Doc placement: ringOutline and its doc are back together, and needsInheritedFontSize has its own doc again.
  • WInput:
    • The box no longer takes ringShadow; it keeps styles.boxShadow.
    • The outline goes in a foreground DecoratedBox on the field's resolved borderRadius, and only while _isFocused, the same gate the old shadow used.
    • It sits inside the selection gesture layer, so the whole-box tap target is unchanged.
    • The promoted ring border plus the outside outline is the same total width the border plus spread shadow drew before, so a filled field looks the same.

Minor

lib/src/widgets/w_input.dart:1033: The new comment says the outline is painted by _ringOutline, but nothing has that name. It is styles.ringOutline, applied in build around line 891 (maintainability). Pointing the comment at WindStyle.ringOutline would stop the next reader searching for a private method.

Tests

The new test at test/widgets/w_input_test.dart:944 covers a focused bg-transparent focus:ring-2 field. It checks there is no box shadow, that the 2px outline sits outside the edge, and that the outline radius matches the field's radius.

Minor: agreed, there is no _ringOutline. The comment at lib/src/widgets/w_input.dart:1031-1035 now names WindStyle.ringOutline, painted over the box in build. Fixed in 927938b, comment only; flutter analyze: no issues. @kodizm please re-review.

My last Minor is fixed in 927938b, and I have no new findings. This is ready to merge.

Since e718166, the only change is the comment at lib/src/widgets/w_input.dart:1031-1035, and it touches no code. The comment now names WindStyle.ringOutline, which exists at lib/src/parser/wind_style.dart:703, and says the outline is painted over the box in build, which happens at w_input.dart:891. It matches how w_button.dart and w_div.dart refer to the same getter.

Tests

The tests are the same as in my last review. The comment-only change needs no new test.
