Explore how Drupal Core is revolutionizing its theming workflow by becoming the first design-system native CMS through the adoption of design-system related APIs. Discover the current state of new design APIs including SDC for UI Components (2023), Icon API (2024), and Style Utilities (2025), examining their usage in Core and Contrib modules while understanding the future roadmap. Learn how these APIs decouple theming from the Drupal application, enhancing front-end developer experience and productivity while making themes reusable and shareable. Examine display building tools of today and tomorrow to understand how to utilize Drupal themes directly in Drupal API and Admin UI without requiring glue code or workarounds. Master the implementation of design systems in Drupal themes for increased maintainability and discover how to use design system implementations directly in Drupal's admin UI for enhanced productivity. This advanced-level conference talk requires some knowledge of web design systems and Drupal theming, building upon previous "Design System, the Drupal way" presentations and showcasing an ambitious 20-month roadmap for Drupal Core's front-end evolution.
