December 2024 highlights across two repositories (theme-converter and plasma) focused on standardizing the design system, expanding theming capabilities, and delivering tangible UX improvements. Key outcomes include a major Plasma Theme release cycle with plasma_giga and updates to plasma_b2c, plasma_web, and sdds_cs across versioned packages, plus a cross-platform spacing token generator and integration of new spacing tokens into all themes. In plasma, Auto-Resize TextArea was implemented to provide a fluid, content-driven height, with test alignment updates; Dropdown visuals were refreshed with token-based styling, an XL size option, and associated test/docs updates. Theming system modernization standardized CSS variables naming, expanded color themes, added a spacing tokens generator, and included token validation in the theme builder. These efforts reduce UI drift, enable faster design-to-product iteration, and demonstrate strong cross-repo collaboration, token-based design, and automated test maintenance.
