Comment:
I've never understood or agreed with the reasons given in #26021 against
using the admin colour scheme for the admin toolbar on the front end.
- Arguments about colour clashes are moot. There are plenty of dark themes
that clash with the toolbar, and light/dark colour schemes are prevalent.
- Extra assets. The front end toolbar already loads admin-bar.css and
dashicons.css. An extra stylesheet for the colour scheme is
inconsequential compared to the 1,000+ lines of inline CSS output by the
editor.
If we're going to facilitate the Modern colour scheme (which has been
renamed to Default in 7.0) on the front end then we might as well
facilitate all the available colour schemes.
I think for 7.0, support for the modern colour scheme must be added.
Support for all other colour schemes can either come for free as part of
that, or if there's still opposition then that can come at a later date.
