The participant tile redesign needs `StreamColorScheme.backgroundOverlayDarkStrong`,
which is committed on stream-core-flutter but not yet released, so the
`stream_core_flutter` override temporarily resolves from a local checkout.
The git ref it replaces is recorded next to it and must be restored before
review.

Four theme values could not be set, or were silently discarded:

- `StreamCallParticipantThemeData.copyWith` named three of its parameters
  `showDominantSpeakerBorder`, `dominantSpeakerBorderThickness` and
  `dominantSpeakerBorderColor`, while the fields they write are
  `showSpeakerBorder`, `speakerBorderThickness` and `speakerBorderColor`.
  Passing the field names — the only names a caller can discover from the
  class — was a compile error. `debugFillProperties` reported the same stale
  names.
- `StreamCallParticipantThemeData.merge` forwarded every field of `other`
  except `pausedVideoIndicatorColor`, so that colour never survived a merge.
- `StreamVideoTheme.merge` passed its own `callControlsTheme` to itself
  instead of the other theme's, discarding it.
- `StreamVideoTheme.merge` omitted `localVideoTheme` altogether, though
  `copyWith` and `lerp` both carry it.

Also sorts the imports in `lobby_video.dart`, which were failing
`melos run analyze`.

Adds the five themes the redesigned participant tile is built on, in the
shape the rest of the design system uses: `theme_extensions_builder`
generates `copyWith`, `merge`, `lerp`, `==` and `hashCode`, every field is
nullable so it means "no override", and the widget — not the theme data —
holds the defaults.

  StreamParticipantTileTheme            + ThemeData + Style + PlaceholderStyle
  StreamParticipantLabelTheme           + ThemeData + Style
  StreamConnectionQualityIndicatorTheme + ThemeData + Style
  StreamFloatingParticipantTileTheme    + ThemeData + Style
  StreamCallParticipantsGridTheme       + ThemeData

Each `of(context)` merges the nearest ancestor over the global theme rather
than replacing it, so an app can override one property in a subtree and keep
the rest. They are slotted onto `StreamVideoTheme` with empty const defaults
in `raw`, which keeps that constructor source compatible.

Nothing consumes them yet — the widgets follow.

The `build.yaml` is needed because `build_runner` otherwise walks the
example app's ephemeral plugin symlinks, where annotations this package does
not depend on fail to resolve and take the whole build down.

Rebuilds the tile onto the design system: a 20px radius, a 2px accent
outline while speaking, a 1px hairline over a subtle surface while the
camera is off, and two toolbars — the overflow button and any live reaction
at the top, the name pill and connection quality indicator at the bottom.

**The name can no longer slide under the connection quality indicator.** The
two used to be independent `Align` children of one `Stack`, so nothing
stopped a long name from growing straight through the indicator. They are
now siblings in one row, where the label sits in an `Expanded` and the
indicator takes its natural size, which caps the label at exactly what is
left over and makes the name ellipsize instead. A width sweep asserts it.

Because the same tile is a desktop grid cell, a spotlight thumbnail and a
140px self-view, the chrome now degrades with the space it is given: the
name goes first, then the pill, then the indicator, rather than overflowing.

**Overflow menu.** `StreamParticipantTileAction` is an icon, a label and a
callback; `actions` or `actionsBuilder` supply them. The SDK ships none, and
the button is hidden entirely while the list is empty, so nothing appears
until an integrator asks for it. The menu closes itself on selection, on
scroll and when its tile is recycled — a `MenuAnchor` panel is an overlay
rather than a route, so none of that is automatic.

**Styling** moves off the props and onto `StreamParticipantTileStyle`, with
the label and indicator carrying their own styles, handed down through
scoped themes so a replaced component still picks up the tile's styling.
Both are now exported and go through the component factory.

The design shows the speaking bars and the muted icon at the same time. That
is deliberately not followed — a muted participant is not speaking — and a
test names the divergence so it survives the next design sync.

`StreamCallParticipant` keeps all 24 of its parameters and maps them onto
the new style. `participantLabelAlignment` and `connectionLevelAlignment`
are accepted and ignored: both slots are laid out by the toolbar now.

Covers the states the redesign is about — speaking, muted, camera off, each
connection level, with and without the overflow button — and a width sweep
showing a long name truncating with the connection quality indicator still
clear of it.

The committed `goldens/ci` PNGs come from the update_goldens workflow, so
only the test lands here.

Two things these tests have to work around: `onlyPumpAndSettle` never
returns while the speaking indicator's controller repeats, so the pump is
explicit; and a `BackdropFilter` is a no-op under `flutter test`, so the
pill snapshots as a flat fill rather than a blur.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The design thread settled how the two relate: the sound indicator is always
present, and a microphone icon appears only while muted. An unmuted
microphone gets no icon at all — the indicator already reports whether
anything is coming through it.

That replaces the three-way switch this branch shipped, where the indicator
and the microphone icon were alternatives and an unmuted participant showed
a microphone. The pill now keeps its shape as someone starts and stops
talking, since nothing appears or disappears.

The indicator also matches its component in the design system more closely:
a 10px glyph whose bars grow from their shared centre line while speaking
and collapse to three dots at rest, where before every bar was anchored to
its bottom edge and only the top moved.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The bars were painted from proportions invented for the 24px box rather than
taken from the design system's `Connection Indicator` icon, which made them
half again as thick and nearly twice as tall as they should be. Against the
sound indicator sitting next to them in the name pill, the difference read as
the whole chip being oversized.

The geometry now comes from the icon itself, expressed in its own 24-unit
space and scaled to whatever size it is drawn at: 2-thick strokes at x 7, 12
and 17, rising from a shared baseline at y 16 to 14, 11 and 8.

`StreamCallParticipantThemeData` described four things at once — the tile,
its name pill, the connection quality indicator and the grid that lays the
tiles out — and each now has a theme of its own. This keeps apps written
against the old shape working.

`StreamVideoTheme.callParticipantTheme` becomes nullable and is no longer
populated by `fromColorAndTextTheme`, so a value there means an app asked for
the deprecated shape rather than merely that a theme was built. That is what
makes the translation unambiguous: everything a supplied theme carries is
applied, defaults included, so a tile styled the old way keeps looking the
way it did. Apps that want the redesign stop setting it. Passing a theme in
the new shape replaces the translated one outright rather than merging —
both describe the same tile, and blending them would produce a look neither
asked for.

The translation runs in the `StreamVideoTheme` factory. Reaching the
deprecated shape any other way — `copyWith`, or the
`StreamCallParticipantTheme` widget — sets the field without restyling
anything; both are documented as such.

Two properties cannot survive the split: the grid spacing moves onto
`StreamCallParticipantsGridThemeData`, which `CallParticipantsGridView` now
reads for itself rather than having it threaded down from the content widget
(this also deletes a dead 16px default the content widget always overrode
with 8), and a single `connectionLevelActiveColor` spreads across the
indicator's three per-level colors so it still reads as one flat color.

The dogfooding app drops its participant theme, keeping only the grid
spacing, and so exercises the redesigned tile the way an integrator would.

Also fixes the muted-microphone icon, which was inheriting the old SDK's red
rather than the design's `text/on-accent`; on a tile the muted state is
information rather than a warning.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds the changelog entries for the redesign, the theme split, the overflow
menu and the behaviour changes that come with them, and the `dart fix`
transforms for the parameters that lost their meaning:
`participantLabelAlignment` and `connectionLevelAlignment` (both slots are
laid out by the toolbar now) and `enabledMicrophoneColor` (an unmuted
microphone draws no icon), plus the three `copyWith` parameters whose names
never matched their fields.

**The existing bulk rename of `StreamCallParticipant` to
`StreamParticipantTile` is removed.** `StreamParticipantTile` no longer
accepts the visual parameters the deprecated widget still takes, so renaming
a call site that passes any of them turned working code into a compile
error. Those move by hand, against the mapping in the changelog.

Also adds a repo-level CLAUDE.md. Most of it is the design-system
archaeology this work needed: that `stream_core_flutter` is a git dependency
whose style guide is the authority, that two theme systems coexist here and
which one new code uses, the rules that are invisible until broken (defaults
belong in the widget, generated `merge` is shallow, a defaults instance must
never enter a theme), and the golden-test behaviours that otherwise look like
bugs — overlay content snapshotting blank, `BackdropFilter` being a no-op
under test, and `onlyPumpAndSettle` hanging against a repeating animation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`StreamLocalVideo` mixed two jobs: dragging a surface around the call, and
deciding what that surface looked like. The look moves to
`StreamFloatingParticipantTile`, leaving `StreamLocalVideo` to position it.

It is the design's self-view: 140x228 at a 12px radius, over a translucent
hairline, lifted by `StreamElevation` through a `Material` rather than the
hand-painted `BoxShadow` it used to carry — the two shadow systems do not
match, and every other raised Stream surface uses the former. At that size a
name and a speaking outline crowd the video out, so it shows the connection
quality indicator alone.

The surface clips its child, so a tile supplied through `participantBuilder`
does not have to round its own corners to sit in it.

`StreamLocalVideo` keeps its parameters and they still win where given, so
existing call sites position the self-view exactly as before — only its
appearance changes.

Adds goldens for the self-view, the name pill and the connection quality
indicator, the last two rendered over a mid-grey: on the page background
their overlay fill is indistinguishable from a solid chip.

…aceable

`StreamUserAvatar` was 250 lines of its own image loading, initials fallback
and selection ring, none of which touched the design system's `StreamAvatar`.
It now delegates to it, which deletes all four private widgets and picks up
the border, sizing and palette that come with it.

More usefully, it becomes replaceable. Its props carry the whole `UserInfo`
rather than a resolved image URL, so an integrator can draw an avatar from
fields the SDK never reads — a team badge, a role ring, an identicon from
`extraData` — the way chat hands its message slot the whole `Message`. Every
avatar in the SDK routes through this one widget, so registering a
`userAvatar` builder changes the participant tile, the lobby, the
participants list and the call screens together.

The tile's placeholder becomes `StreamParticipantPlaceholder`, a component in
its own right with a slot of its own. Replacing the avatar and replacing what
fills a tile with no video are different decisions: one is about a person,
the other about a tile, and an app may well want a blurred last frame or a
logo without touching how people are drawn.

A `StreamUserAvatarTheme` still sizes and colours the avatars beneath it —
its box constraints round up to the nearest `StreamAvatarSize`, so an avatar
never comes out smaller than it was asked to be — but a `StreamAvatarTheme`
takes precedence. Without that fallback the screens still wrapping avatars in
the deprecated theme would silently collapse to the default 40px.

The video renderer keeps its per-instance builder rather than gaining a slot.
Replacing it means taking on the visibility reporting that drives dynascale,
and a replacement that quietly drops `onSizeChanged` degrades quality
negotiation for the whole call — not a seam to open casually.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Completes the set of component-factory slots inside a participant tile.
`StreamParticipantVideo` wraps the renderer and the placeholder it falls back
to, so an integrator can substitute the video area the same way as the name
pill, the connection quality indicator and the avatar.

A `videoRendererBuilder` passed to a single tile still wins over a registered
builder: a call site that named a renderer said something more specific than
an app-wide default. Both orderings are asserted.

`onSizeChanged` carries a warning rather than being hidden: it is what drives
dynascale, so a replacement that forgets to forward it leaves the call
negotiating quality against stale dimensions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR redesigns participant tiles around design-system component themes, replaceable participant widgets, configurable overflow actions, floating self-view support, updated grid spacing, legacy-theme migration bridges, and expanded widget, golden, and theme tests.

Changes

Participant tile redesign

Layer / File(s) Summary
Theme contracts and migration
CLAUDE.md, PARTICIPANT_TILE_PLAN.md, packages/stream_video_flutter/lib/src/theme/..., packages/stream_video_flutter/pubspec.yaml, pubspec.yaml, packages/stream_video_flutter/build.yaml, packages/stream_video_flutter/lib/fix_data.yaml
The PR adds nullable component themes with generated merge, copy, interpolation, equality, and hash helpers. StreamVideoTheme exposes five participant-related component themes and deprecates callParticipantTheme.
Replaceable participant components
packages/stream_video_flutter/lib/src/call_participants/participant_video.dart, participant_placeholder.dart, participant_label.dart, indicators/*, packages/stream_video_flutter/lib/src/widgets/stream_user_avatar.dart, packages/stream_video_flutter/lib/src/components/stream_video_component_builders.dart
Participant video, placeholder, label, avatar, audio, and connection-quality components now use props-based builders, design-system styles, and default implementations.
Tile layout and actions
packages/stream_video_flutter/lib/src/call_participants/participant_tile.dart, participant_tile_action.dart
StreamParticipantTile now resolves styles from themes, selects density-based chrome, renders reactions and toolbars, and supports configurable overflow actions. The deprecated StreamCallParticipant maps legacy values into the new style.
Floating self-view and call integration
packages/stream_video_flutter/lib/src/call_participants/floating_participant_tile.dart, local_video.dart, layout/call_participants_grid_view.dart, regular_call_participants_content.dart, packages/stream_video_flutter/lib/src/call_screen/lobby_video.dart, packages/stream_video_flutter/lib/src/livestream/livestream_content.dart, dogfooding/lib/app/app_content.dart
The floating self-view uses StreamFloatingParticipantTile. Grid spacing resolves through StreamCallParticipantsGridTheme, and call sites pass participant appearance through styles.
Validation
packages/stream_video_flutter/test/src/call_participants/*, test/src/theme/*, test/src/widgets/stream_user_avatar_test.dart
Tests cover tile layout, density, audio states, menus, component builders, golden rendering, theme migration, theme interpolation, and avatar behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ea634

The participant-tile redesign can close an open overflow menu during normal call updates and can ignore some theme, avatar, initials, and mobile-padding settings. These are localized but concrete user-visible regressions that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Switching between light and dark restarted the camera preview, and turned
the camera back on if it had been switched off.

The lobby screen keyed the preview on the track the preview itself produces:

    StreamLobbyVideo(key: ValueKey(_cameraTrack), ...)

`_cameraTrack` is assigned from the preview's own `onCameraTrackSet`, so the
widget's identity depended on its output. Every rebuild after the camera
started therefore saw a key different from the one the element was mounted
with, tore the state down and ran `initState` again — which creates a track
whenever `cameraDefaultOn` is set, regardless of what the user had chosen.
A theme change rebuilds the screen, so it was enough to trigger it.

It is keyed on the selected device instead, which is an input rather than an
output: it changes when the user picks a different camera, which is the one
case where the preview genuinely has to be rebuilt. Switching device no
longer recreates the track by hand either — the rebuilt preview creates one
for the new device and reports it back, where before both happened and the
intermediate track was left running.

`StreamLobbyVideo` also never stopped the tracks it created. The lobby screen
stopped the one it had last been handed, so each teardown leaked whatever
came before it; the preview now releases its own in `dispose`.

Apply padding to every mobile grid page.

MobileCallParticipantsGrid uses padding only for one participant. With two or more participants, the returned Column has no padding. Therefore, CallParticipantsGridView.padding and StreamCallParticipantsGridThemeData.padding do not affect those mobile layouts.

Merge partial avatarTheme overrides with the placeholder defaults.

StreamAvatarThemeData.merge preserves default fields and gives supplied non-null fields precedence. Without the merge, partial overrides can replace the xxl size and configured 2px border, causing fallback sizing and border behavior.

Use defaultAvatarTheme.merge(props.style?.avatarTheme).

Comment thread CLAUDE.md Outdated
@renefloor renefloor changed the title Feat/participant tile feat(ui, samples): participant tile Aug 28, 2026
renefloor and others added 3 commits August 28, 2026 15:31
The overflow menu closed itself on the next rebuild. `_MoreMenuButton`
compared action lists by identity, and an `actionsBuilder` returns a fresh
list every build, so during a call — where participant state streams in
constantly — the menu shut the moment anything moved. Lists are compared by
value now, which needs value equality on `StreamParticipantTileAction`;
`onPressed` is excluded from it, since a closure built inline is never equal
to itself and the question being asked is whether the menu still offers the
same entries.

The deprecated `StreamCallParticipant` handed the tile a fully-null
`labelStyle` and `connectionQualityIndicatorStyle` whenever it was used
without those parameters. Nested styles merge shallowly, so that replaced
whatever an ambient `StreamParticipantTileTheme` had set rather than leaving
it alone. Both are now built only when the widget was given something to say.
For the same reason the placeholder merges a supplied avatar theme over its
defaults instead of replacing them, so a style naming one colour no longer
costs it its size and ring.

`StreamCallParticipantThemeData.userAvatarTheme` was dropped on the way to
the component themes, so a migrated app lost its avatar sizing and colours.

Mobile grids only ever applied their padding to a page holding a single
participant; every other layout ran edge to edge, so
`StreamCallParticipantsGridThemeData.padding` did nothing in the common case.
It is applied per page now, leaving the `PageView` itself unpadded so pages
still swipe the full height.

A participant whose name is nothing but spaces has no initials, and was shown
an empty circle; the avatar falls through to the user id.

`StreamParticipantLabelStyle.blurSigma` documented `null` as the way to turn
the blur off, but null means "no override" like every other property here and
leaves the default in place. The opt-out is `0`.

Registers `DogfoodingParticipantTile` on the component factory rather than
passing actions at a call site, so the overflow menu reaches every
participant tile in the app at once — the grid, the spotlight strip and the
screen-share filmstrip — which is the case the factory exists for.

Pin is local to this device. Mute is a moderation action, so it is only
offered on other people's tiles and only when the call has granted the
capability; muting yourself is what the call controls are for. It stays
listed but unselectable once someone is already muted, so the menu keeps its
shape as people talk.

The tile decorates rather than replaces: one that was given its own actions
keeps them, since a call site naming actions asked for something more
specific than an app-wide default.

Reverts the dispose added alongside the theme-switch fix. Stopping the camera
and microphone there was wrong: `onCameraTrackSet` and `onMicrophoneTrackSet`
hand the track over, and `CallConnectOptions` accepts a
`TrackOption.provided`, so an app can carry the warmed-up lobby track into the
call rather than opening a second one. The lobby widget is disposed on the way
to the call screen, so stopping the track there would kill the one the call
was about to publish.

Both existing consumers already treat the track as theirs — `StreamLobbyView`
and the dogfooding lobby each stop it in their own dispose — so the widget was
double-stopping in the ordinary case and breaking the interesting one. The
ownership is now stated on both callbacks, since it was not evident from the
signatures and that is what made the mistake easy.

The leak the dispose was reaching for is closed where ownership actually sits:
the sample app releases the outgoing track when the selected camera changes,
before the preview is rebuilt for the new one.

Thanks @coderabbitai — all six inline findings were valid and are fixed in bc784c9e, replied to individually above. The out-of-diff and nitpick items are covered there too, with one deliberate deviation:

Grid padding (call_participants_grid_view.dart) — confirmed, and pre-existing rather than introduced here: padding only ever reached the single-participant branch, so StreamCallParticipantsGridThemeData.padding did nothing for two or more participants either before or after the rename.

I applied it per page rather than around the LayoutBuilder as proposed. Padding the outer widget insets the PageView's own viewport, which moves the page boundary and the overscroll region — pages would no longer swipe the full height. Wrapping each page's Column instead keeps the scroll geometry as it is and drops the now-redundant inner Padding from the one-participant case.

This is the only change in the batch that alters existing mobile layout, and the goldens run desktop, so it wants a look on a device.

fix_data.yaml comment — updated. It now states that participantLabelAlignment, connectionLevelAlignment and enabledMicrophoneColor are accepted but never forwarded to props, which is precisely why removing them in bulk is safe: it changes nothing at runtime.

Placeholder avatarTheme — merged over the defaults rather than replacing them, so a style naming one colour no longer costs the placeholder its size and ring.

For the record on sequencing: this review landed at 13:19Z and the fixes went in at 13:31Z, so the comments re-anchored to the new head after a force-push and read as though they still apply. They don't — each one was verified against the code at 08698ecc before replying.

@renefloor Thanks for the detailed follow-up.

The per-page padding approach is correct. It preserves the PageView viewport, page boundary, and overscroll behavior while applying StreamCallParticipantsGridThemeData.padding to every participant page.

The fix_data.yaml clarification and the merged placeholder avatarTheme behavior also address the reported concerns. Mobile-device visual validation remains appropriate for the changed layout path.

The density ladder's constants restated the chrome's numbers rather than
deriving them, and four bands did not close. Found by sweeping every 2px of
width and 4px of height:

- 56-68px wide overflowed by up to 12px: the gap before the indicator was
  emitted whether or not a pill sat on the other side of it. Now only between
  the two of them, which makes the ladder's 56 correct.
- A muted camera-off participant's pill needs 104px, not the 40 the ladder
  assumes; tiles up to 172px wide overflowed by up to 48px. The pill's minimum
  is now measured from the label's own style and from which state icons this
  participant contributes, replacing the guessed _kMinLabelWidth.
- 108-121px wide overflowed the moment a reaction arrived. The top toolbar is
  anchored to the opposite edge, so it is measured separately now instead of
  riding on the bottom toolbar's widths.
- Below ~112px tall the overflow button landed on top of the name pill. It
  clears the bottom toolbar's real height now, or is dropped.

The floating self-view clipped its surface and the tile inside it at two
different radii whenever borderRadius was overridden, leaving transparent
notches at the corners. The resolved radius is injected into the inner tile; an
explicit tileStyle radius still wins.

StreamCallParticipantThemeData and StreamCallParticipantTheme were documented
and changelogged as deprecated but carried no annotation, so a subtree wrapped
in one restyled nothing with no compile-time signal. Verified the warning now
reaches consumers. StreamLocalVideo.userAvatarTheme was likewise accepted and
ignored; deprecated with a fix_data transform.

Defaults that existed in two places now exist in one: the label's defaults are
shared with the sound indicator, the connection quality indicator's and the
floating tile's with the tile and the self-view that lay out against them, and
the three constraint-to-StreamAvatarSize helpers are one. All internal, none
exported.

Also: CLAUDE.md said the generated merge is shallow, which is the opposite of
what it does for nested styles; the changelog claimed dart fix could migrate
StreamCallParticipant, that StreamLocalVideoThemeData still drives the
self-view, and said nothing about the inter-tile gap halving from 16 to 8.
Drops PARTICIPANT_TILE_PLAN.md.

Rendering is unchanged: the committed goldens still match.
