As a first step towards adopting the Compound design system and the new Element Call designs, this pulls in Compound's color tokens and applies them to all existing components. I've tried to choose tokens based on the semantics of where they're used, but in some cases, where the new and old design systems differ in semantics, it was necessary to choose tokens based on their resulting color. These hacks can be removed as we implement more of the new designs.
There were a set of environment variables that we used for custom themes, but Compound has way too many design tokens for that approach to still be a good idea, so I decided to replace them all with a single environment variable that just lets you write arbitrary custom CSS.
This is an attempt to address the feedback in https://github.com/vector-im/element-call/pull/1099#discussion_r1226863404 that the video grid and video tile components have become too tightly coupled. After this change, the only requirements that the video grid makes of its child components are:
- They accept ref, style, and item props
- They attach the ref and styles to a react-spring animated element
Note: I removed the video grid Storybook file, because I'm not aware of anyone using Storybook for development of Element Call beyond Robert, and it would take some effort to fix to work with these changes.
