Pull request overview
This PR refactors several chat widget CSS files to adopt the new “agents” typography design tokens, replacing hardcoded font-size / font-weight values with corresponding CSS variables to improve consistency and themeability across the chat UI.
Changes:
- Replaced hardcoded font sizes/weights with
--vscode-agents-fontSize-*and--vscode-agents-fontWeight-*tokens across multiple chat widgets. - Added/adjusted a few component-specific typography rules (e.g.
.chat-title) and updated some carousel spacing (padding/gaps). - Updated some codicon sizing to use
--vscode-codiconFontSize-compact.
