February 2025 monthly summary for SpareBank1/designsystem. The design system has undergone a comprehensive semantic color upgrade across core components, improving accessibility, consistency, and brand alignment. This release enables semantic color tokens across React and non-React components (e.g., FFE Cards, Searchable Dropdown, Account Selector, Icons, Spinner, Tabs) and includes coordination with modals and form components. A semanticColors.js file was generated to support Tailwind, enabling easier theming for consumer apps. We updated color tokens from Figma, introduced a default mode class in ffe-core, and built the design system on startup to improve readiness. Targeted fixes maintain stability (reverted bgColor rename in ffe-cards-react; corrected color updates from Figma; improved error messaging for deprecated properties across multiple components). Documentation and linting improvements completed, including changelog and docs for semantic colors. Business impact: Faster design-to-dev handoffs, consistent, accessible UI across products, and a more reliable, ready-to-ship DS with improved developer experience.
