In my experience, more often than not, the opposite is happening. The designer wants the same widget to have a slightly different style in different places. Then you either give it some additional class for context or use helper classes. Benefits of either approach seem to be moot. Reusability suffers in any case.
- have_faith 8y agoI've found this is (usually) solved with soft skills. I just talk to the designer and explain we have all these very similar components already and it will help with the visual consistency if we follow an existing convention OR update the existing convention to use the new style (giving them the option to choose let's them stay in control of the design). They are usually very understanding as they don't always consider these things.
- WorldMaker 8y agoIt's also rarely a surprise that if you ask "why did you special case this particular [button/widget]?" to some designers the answer turns out to be "I didn't have a good template and just redrew it" or "I don't know, I was just freehanding that because I was in the flow".
