REFACTOR: added sticky behaviour to the save button at the end #2331
Conversation
WalkthroughA style object was added to the Stack component wrapping the save button on the Settings page. This update makes the save button area sticky at the bottom of the viewport, with theme-based colors, spacing, box shadow, and high z-index, ensuring visibility while scrolling through long forms.

192-205:❓ Verification inconclusive
Address styling redundancy and verify color contrast for accessibility.
The sticky implementation looks solid, eh! Just like how Americans stick to their healthcare bills, this button will stick to the bottom. However, there are a few concerns:
Redundant
justifyContent: You've specifiedjustifyContent="flex-end"as a prop (line 191) and again in thesxobject (line 200). Thesxprop will override the component prop, so the prop is redundant.Color contrast concern: Using
theme.palette.primary.mainas background might create poor contrast with the accent-colored button, potentially affecting accessibility.High z-index: The z-index of 1000 is quite high and might conflict with modal overlays or tooltips that typically use similar or higher values.
Apply this diff to address the redundancy and improve maintainability:
<Stack direction="row" - justifyContent="flex-end" sx={{ position: "sticky", bottom: 0, boxShadow: theme.shape.boxShadow, zIndex: 1000, mt : 3, - backgroundColor: theme.palette.primary.main, + backgroundColor: theme.palette.background.paper, display: "flex", justifyContent: "flex-end", pb: theme.spacing(5), pr: theme.spacing(15), pl: theme.spacing(5), pt: theme.spacing(5), }} >Please verify the color contrast meets WCAG guidelines:
🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash # Description: Search for theme color definitions to verify contrast ratios # Expected: Find theme definitions to assess primary.main vs accent color contrast echo "Searching for theme color definitions..." rg -A 10 -B 5 "palette.*primary.*main|palette.*accent" --type js --type jsx --type ts --type tsx echo "Searching for accent color definition..." rg -A 5 -B 5 "accent.*color|color.*accent" --type js --type jsx --type ts --type tsxLength of output: 423
Our previous search was more stubborn than a Canadian apologizing—let’s try using filename globs instead of
--type.
🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash # Locate theme configuration files echo "🔍 Searching for files that define or use a theme..." rg --files-with-matches "createTheme|ThemeProvider" -g '*.js' -g '*.jsx' -g '*.ts' -g '*.tsx' # Search for palette definitions across all JS/TS files echo -e "\n🔎 Scanning for palette.primary.main and palette.accent..." rg -A 10 -B 5 "palette.*primary.*main|palette.*accent" -g '*.js' -g '*.jsx' -g '*.ts' -g '*.tsx' # Also look specifically for any “accent” color aliases echo -e "\n✨ Looking for accent color usages..." rg -A 5 -B 5 "accent.*color|color.*accent" -g '*.js' -g '*.jsx' -g '*.ts' -g '*.tsx'Length of output: 86345
Let’s pull the actual hex values for
primary.mainandaccent.mainfrom your theme files so we can compute the contrast ratios.
🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash # Extract primary.main and accent.main from light & dark themes echo "🔍 lightTheme.js – primary.main" rg -n "primary\s*:\s*{[^}]*main" -A2 client/src/Utils/Theme/lightTheme.js echo -e "\n🔍 lightTheme.js – accent.main" rg -n "accent\s*:\s*{[^}]*main" -A2 client/src/Utils/Theme/lightTheme.js echo -e "\n🔍 darkTheme.js – primary.main" rg -n "primary\s*:\s*{[^}]*main" -A2 client/src/Utils/Theme/darkTheme.js echo -e "\n🔍 darkTheme.js – accent.main" rg -n "accent\s*:\s*{[^}]*main" -A2 client/src/Utils/Theme/darkTheme.jsLength of output: 1085
Let’s pull the full
primaryandaccentblocks (hex values included) from both theme files—this is easier than convincing an American to apologize, eh?
🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash echo "🔍 Dumping primary & accent blocks from theme files" for file in client/src/Utils/Theme/lightTheme.js client/src/Utils/Theme/darkTheme.js; do echo -e "\n📋 $file – Primary definitions:" sed -n '/primary\s*:/,/},/p' "$file" echo -e "\n📋 $file – Accent definitions:" sed -n '/accent\s*:/,/},/p' "$file" doneLength of output: 1110
Let’s inspect the actual structure of your theme files to locate the palette definitions:
🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash echo "🌞 client/src/Utils/Theme/lightTheme.js (first 200 lines):" sed -n '1,200p' client/src/Utils/Theme/lightTheme.js echo -e "\n🌜 client/src/Utils/Theme/darkTheme.js (first 200 lines):" sed -n '1,200p' client/src/Utils/Theme/darkTheme.jsLength of output: 1108
Harmonize sticky bar styling & verify contrast
Remove redundant props and align with MUI’s z-index scale:
- File: client/src/Pages/Settings/index.jsx
• RemovejustifyContent="flex-end"(it’s overridden bysx)
• ReplacezIndex: 1000withzIndex: theme.zIndex.appBar
• SwapbackgroundColor: theme.palette.primary.mainfortheme.palette.background.paper<Stack direction="row" - justifyContent="flex-end" sx={{ position: "sticky", bottom: 0, boxShadow: theme.shape.boxShadow, - zIndex: 1000, + zIndex: theme.zIndex.appBar, mt: 3, - backgroundColor: theme.palette.primary.main, + backgroundColor: theme.palette.background.paper, display: "flex", justifyContent: "flex-end", pb: theme.spacing(5), pr: theme.spacing(15), pl: theme.spacing(5), pt: theme.spacing(5), }} >Canada’s politeness aside, let’s make sure your accent-coloured button still meets WCAG 2.1 AA (4.5:1) against the new background—please confirm the contrast ratio.

3. Technical Analysis
3.1 Code Logic Analysis
📁 client/src/Pages/Settings/index.jsx - Save Button Stack
- Submitted PR Code:
<Stack
direction="row"
justifyContent="flex-end"
sx={{
position: "sticky",
bottom: 0,
boxShadow: theme.shape.boxShadow,
zIndex: 1000,
mt: 3,
backgroundColor: theme.palette.primary.main,
pb: theme.spacing(5),
pr: theme.spacing(15),
pl: theme.spacing(5),
pt: theme.spacing(5),
}}
>
<Button
sx={{ px: theme.spacing(12), mt: theme.spacing(20) }}
>
{t("settingsSave")}
</Button>
</Stack>- Analysis:
- Current margin/padding combination creates vertical spacing conflict
- Sticky container's pt/pb vs button's mt creates redundant spacing
- Primary color background might clash with content during scrolling
- LlamaPReview Suggested Improvements:
<Stack
direction="row"
justifyContent="flex-end"
sx={{
position: "sticky",
bottom: 0,
boxShadow: theme.shape.boxShadow,
zIndex: 1000,
backgroundColor: theme.palette.background.paper, // Neutral background
py: theme.spacing(3), // Balanced vertical padding
px: theme.spacing(5), // Consistent horizontal padding
}}
>
<Button
sx={{ px: theme.spacing(12) }} // Removed mt
>
{t("settingsSave")}
</Button>
</Stack>- Improvement rationale:
- Technical benefits: Simplifies spacing logic, improves maintainability
- Business value: Cleaner UI presentation enhances user experience
- Risk assessment: Low risk - preserves core sticky functionality
3.2 Key Quality Aspects
- Testing strategy: Consider visual regression tests for sticky behavior
- Documentation: Update style guide with sticky component patterns
4. Overall Evaluation
- Technical assessment: Well-scoped UI improvement with minor styling refinements needed
- Business impact: Direct user experience enhancement for critical configuration page
- Risk evaluation: Low risk with suggested changes
- Notable positive aspects: Good use of theme variables, proper z-index handling
- Implementation quality: 85% complete - requires final styling polish
- Final recommendation: Request Changes (Address P1 items before approval)

The implementation looks fine, but I'm not sure about the design side of things.
The bar covers the border of settings items on one side and not the other 🤔
@gorkem-bwl can you drop your thoughts on design here? Maybe the save bar needs the same border as other settings items?
@Thirukumaran-T can you please send a video here so I can check? Also can you make it thinner as I indicated earlier, and then send the video?
