Code Review

This pull request does a great job of unifying the dropdown styling with a dark theme and improving accessibility with clearer focus states. The new styling is consistent and aligns well with the existing design.

My review includes two main points. The first is a high-severity accessibility concern regarding the contrast ratio of the new focus outline, which appears to be below the WCAG AA requirement. I've suggested a small change to fix this. The second point is about significant code duplication in the new CSS rules for select and option elements. I've provided recommendations on how to refactor this to improve maintainability.

Overall, these are excellent changes that just need a bit of refinement to be perfect. Well done!

Thanks for improving the focus states for accessibility. I have two points of feedback on this:

  1. Accessibility Concern: The PR description mentions WCAG AA compliance for focus indicators (3:1 contrast ratio). My calculations suggest the box-shadow color rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) has a contrast ratio of about 1.5:1 against the dark page background, which is below the required 3:1. To ensure compliance and improve visibility, I recommend increasing the opacity.

  2. Code Duplication: These focus styles are repeated for other elements like #preset-select:focus and .api-key-container input:focus. To improve maintainability, it would be best to group these selectors into a single rule and remove the duplicated style blocks.

Here's a suggestion to improve the contrast. Please apply this change and also refactor the duplicated focus styles throughout the file.

Suggested change
.control-group select:focus {
outline: none;
border-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
border-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25);
box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
}
.control-group select:focus {
outline: none;
border-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25);
box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
}

These new styles for dropdown options are great for consistency. However, I've noticed a significant amount of style duplication for both select and option elements across the file.

For example:

  • The styles for option (and its :hover, :focus, :checked states) are repeated for .control-group select, #preset-select, .api-key-container select, and .library-filters select.
  • The base styles for the select element itself (like the custom arrow background-image, appearance, cursor, etc.) are also duplicated across these same selectors.

To improve maintainability and reduce the file size, I strongly recommend consolidating these into shared rulesets. You could group the selectors for common styles, and then have separate, smaller rules for any specific overrides (like the padding on #preset-select option).

Also, the :disabled state is only defined for .control-group select option. It would be good to apply this consistently to the other dropdowns as well if that's the intended behavior.
