Bug Fixes & UI Polishing Tasks

Context: We are refining the "LiteRequest" application. The core logic works, but there are specific UI bugs and a functional regression in the Settings module.

Goal: Fix visual inconsistencies and ensure the Settings (Font Size/Family) are correctly applied to the CodeMirror editor.

Task List

1. Reorder Tabs in Request Panel

• Issue: The "Auth" tab is currently the first tab.
• Fix: Move the "Auth" tab to the last position.
• Order: Params -> Headers -> Body -> Auth.
• Action: Update RequestPanel.vue (both the tab navigation list and the conditional rendering of the content).

2. Fix Method Dropdown Styling (Dark Mode)

• Issue: The HTML <select> dropdown for HTTP Methods shows a white background when expanded, which clashes with the dark theme.
• Fix:
  • Apply Tailwind classes bg-slate-900 and text-white (or text-slate-200) explicitly to the <option> tags within the <select>.
  • Ensure the <select> itself has bg-slate-900, border-slate-700, and text-white.
  • Note: Browser native dropdowns are hard to style perfectly, but ensuring the background color is set on options fixes the glaring white box issue.

3. Fix Editor Background Color Mismatch

• Issue: The CodeMirror editor background is currently a generic gray (likely from a default theme), which looks disconnected from the App's slate-900 / slate-950 theme.
• Fix:
  • In Editor.vue, modify the CodeMirror theme configuration.
  • Transparent Background: Set the CodeMirror editor's background to transparent so it adopts the parent container's color.
  • Code Snippet Hint:

    EditorView.theme({
      "&": { backgroundColor: "transparent !important", height: "100%" },
      ".cm-gutters": { backgroundColor: "transparent !important" } // Match gutter too
    })
    

  • Ensure the parent container in Editor.vue has the correct Tailwind class (e.g., bg-slate-900).

4. Fix Font Settings Not Applying

• Issue: Changing Font Size or Family in Settings does not update the Editor view.
• Root Cause: CodeMirror 6 does not automatically react to CSS style changes on the parent container for everything (especially if a Theme is hardcoded).
• Fix:
  • Update Editor.vue.
  • Use a Vue watch effect to listen to changes in settingsStore.editorFontSize and settingsStore.editorFontFamily.
  • Implementation Strategy:
    • Instead of trying to update the theme, simply apply a reactive style object to the wrapper <div> of the CodeMirror component.
    • Crucial Step: Ensure the CodeMirror theme allows inheritance.
    • Alternative (Better): Re-dispatch a CodeMirror Effect or update the EditorView style via a Compartment if the wrapper style approach fails.
    • Simplified approach for Vue: Bind :style="{ fontSize: store.fontSize + 'px', fontFamily: store.fontFamily }" to the outer div, and ensure the .cm-editor CSS allows inheritance (usually it does by default, but confirm standard text styles).

Implementation Instructions for AI

Please generate the code corrections in the following order:

1. RequestPanel.vue: Show the updated template with the reordered Tabs.
2. RequestPanel.vue (or wherever the Method Selector is): Show the CSS/Tailwind fix for the Dropdown and Options.
3. Editor.vue:
   • Show the updated CodeMirror configuration (making background transparent).
   • Show the logical fix to apply Font Settings (using watch or reactive styles).
