The apps MFE does not inherit the INDIGO_ settings such as

INDIGO_FOOTER_LEGAL_LINKS
INDIGO_FOOTER_NAV_LINKS
INDIGO_PRIMARY_COLOR

@misilot Hello. The current description does not have enough context for the underlying issue. Can you add more details about the issue, its impact, etc.? Thanks

Sure,

So INDIGO_PRIMARY_COLOR used to apply to the primary color in the _variable.scss file, but that was removed in #54

However, this variable does not pass to the MFE as part of the theming for the full site.

Secondary, both INDIGO_FOOTER_LEGAL_LINKS and INDIGO_FOOTER_NAV_LINKS do not trickle down to the MFE (apps.* subsites), so the footer is not consistent on the different pages as a learner goes through the site.

Hi @misilot , Currently the MFEs don't get the INDIGO_ settings. The Links settings don't passed to MFEs because these are the array and the primary color settings don't passed to MFEs because MFEs are styled using brand-openedx npm package. Therefore, It doesn't make sense to pass theme_color variable to MFEs when it is of no use. Furthermore, the community has added ADR for making footer-links consistent on overall platform (including LMS and MFEs). But development on it is paused now, as we are exploring UI Plugin Approach for MFEs. This is where community is looking at. If there's anything I missed, feel free to share.
