# Phase 8: Styles Overhaul - Quick Reference
|
||||
|
||||
## TL;DR
|
||||
|
||||
Transform Noodl's styling from "blank canvas every time" to "beautiful defaults that scale." Three levels of control: Variant Picker (easy) → Token Overrides (intermediate) → Manual Values (advanced).

## Integration Points
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Integrates With |
|
||||
|---------|-----------------|
|
||||
| Presets | Project Creation Wizard (WIZARD-001) |
|
||||
| Tokens | Existing experimental style tokens panel |
|
||||
| Variants | Existing style variants system |
|
||||
| Property Panel | Existing property editor |
|
||||
| Suggestions | New floating UI system |
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## The Big Picture
|
||||
|
||||
**Before Phase 8:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
New Project → Blank elements → 10 min styling each → Inconsistent app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After Phase 8:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
New Project → Pick preset → Styled elements instantly → Consistent app
|
||||
→ Customize with tokens if needed
|
||||
→ Full CSS control always available
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Risk Mitigation
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Backward Compatibility**: All existing projects work unchanged
|
||||
2. **Opt-In System**: New features don't force migration
|
||||
3. **Preserved Freedom**: Manual controls always available in Advanced section
|
||||
4. **Progressive Disclosure**: Complexity hidden until needed
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Success Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Target |
|
||||
|--------|--------|
|
||||
| Time to styled button | <10 seconds (from ~10 min) |
|
||||
| Projects using tokens | >60% (from ~5%) |
|
||||
| Beginner completion rate | >80% (from ~40%) |
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Notes for Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start with STYLE-001 - everything else depends on it
|
||||
2. The Text element bug fix is in STYLE-002
|
||||
3. STYLE-003 and STYLE-002 can be parallelized after STYLE-001
|
||||
4. STYLE-005 is polish - can be deprioritized if needed
|
||||
5. WIZARD-001 can ship incrementally (start with just presets, add integrations later)
|
||||
6. WIZARD-001's optional dependencies (GIT, DEPLOY, AI) can be stubbed initially
