Block A - Slot 2

Slot 2: 9:00 am America/Los_Angeles - April 23, 2026

I've previously ported Gin to provide a modern admin theme to Backdrop -- and have been working behind the scenes to provide a new base theme for front end development, which I'm aiming to unveil at Backdrop Live. I'd like to get feedback and demonstrate:

  • how it makes component-based theming simpler in Backdrop
  • use of CSS custom properties
  • how to sub-theme it simply
