General: Add hover effect for sidebar-card-medium

[laxerhd]

Checklist

General

• This is a small issue that I tested locally and was confirmed by another developer on a test server.
• Language: I followed the guidelines for inclusive, diversity-sensitive, and appreciative language.
• I chose a title conforming to the naming conventions for pull requests.

Client

• Following the theming guidelines, I specified colors only in the theming variable files and checked that the changes look consistent in both the light and the dark theme.
• I added multiple screenshots/screencasts of my UI changes.

Motivation and Context

There were issues regarding consistency. Most elements have a hover effect, this is not the case with the sidecard-card-medium. It did not feel right to hover over these elements. Fixes #9651.

Description

I added a CSS class for the hover effect of the sidebar-card-medium (which is used for exercises) and added it to the classes in the html file.

Steps for Testing

Prerequisites:

• 1 Instructor
• 1 Programming Exercise

1. Log in to Artemis
2. Navigate to the Course
3. Hover over the Programming Exercise
4. You should see the hover effect (change color)

Exam Mode Testing

I'm not sure if the tests are that different than the tests from above. In sidebar-card-medium.component.html there is a mention of the Exam Mode. I'm not sure whether this needs to be tested more thoroughly.

Walkthrough

The changes in this pull request involve updates to the sidebar-card-medium component in both HTML and SCSS files. Specifically, the HTML modifications add a hover-effect class to two <div> elements based on the sidebarType condition. The SCSS file introduces the definition for the new .hover-effect class, which alters the background color on hover. These updates aim to provide a visual indication when interacting with the sidebar elements.

9-13: Consider enhancing the hover effect for better UX.

The hover effect could be improved by adding a smooth transition and cursor pointer for better user interaction.

 .hover-effect {
+    cursor: pointer;
+    transition: background-color 0.2s ease;
     &:hover {
         background-color: var(--hover-slightly-darker-body-bg);
     }
 }

9-13: LGTM! Clean implementation of hover effect.

The hover effect implementation is clean, follows the existing styling patterns, and properly uses theme variables for consistent appearance across different themes.
