Mastering Scalable Theming for Custom Flutter Widgets
summary
Explains how to implement scalable theming by using MaterialApp + ThemeData, creating a custom ThemeExtension to hold primary/secondary style objects, and making those style classes implement copyWith and lerp so animations work; uses Material 3 color system and the Material ColorScheme (45 colors); replaces static values with WidgetStateProperty (resolveWith/fromMap) to handle press/hover/focus, tracks states in a Set, and shows where the current API is unsafe and how a unified proposal would fix it.
