Color-coded entry types

[brandonkelly]

Adds a “Color” setting to entry types.

When an entry type has a color selected, entries of that type will be filled in with that color within cards, chips, and inline-editable Matrix blocks.

Matrix fields set to the “inline-editable blocks” view mode have also been redesigned a bit:

• The titlebar now includes the entry type icon, if it has one
• Matrix blocks with only one entry type no longer show the entry type icon/label in their titlebars.
• Block bodies now have a white background color, to improve the visibility of nested chips/cards/Matrix blocks.
• The “Add” button is now always displayed as a menu, unless there’s only one block type. No more button group listing all types. (This way it’s always consistent regardless of viewport size, and so we can show the block type icons, which would have looked awkward in button group form.)

Like the stuff! Question, can we bring in the color and the Icon here (entry type overview) too:

Would be great.

@davidhellmann Added for the next release! (e40778a)

[brandonkelly]

5.0.0-alpha.11 is now tagged with that change.

Cool, an exciting update.

However, I noticed that the spacing of the icons seems a bit disharmonious. To illustrate this, I've created a brief visualization.

@alexanderloewe are you just basing that on the screenshot I posted? I shrunk them down a bit to match global nav icon size in 996e73d.

[alexanderloewe]

Yes, I actually did base it on your screenshot. Sometimes I take things a bit too literally – I thought that was already the final version! But no worries, in the actual design context, everything looks great. Fits like Cinderella's shoes.
