[Admin Reskin] Media modal “Edit Image” and help link use old color scheme

[huzaifaalmesbah]

In the Media Library modal (Select Image screen), the following links still use the old admin color scheme:

• “Edit Image”
• “Learn how to describe the purpose of the image” (help link under Alt Text)

These links do not reflect the updated Admin Reskin color tokens and appear to rely on old link color.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Media Library
2. Select an image
3. Observe the link colors in the right sidebar

Expected behavior:

Links inside the media modal should follow the updated admin color system instead of the old color scheme.

Thanks for spotting this, self assigning for final review.
It would be nice to test this changeset with other Admin Color Schemes, too.

Hi @audrasjb

Should we also consider changing the color of infromation help icon ​https://d.pr/v/5z1tVt of the edit option from the media library? It seems here is the old color scheme, ​https://d.pr/i/cLxtdd

Thanks

Additional Notes

• Adding that when switching color themes, the links also reflect the new scheme colors

Hello there, I performed a final review and I think the following items need to be addressed:

1. Use the new color scheme for the information icon
2. Use the compact size for inputs so the button is the same size than the text inputs

For (2), alternatively we can just put the button on a new line, just like in the Crop section:

Looks good to me, now. Approved.
