@marcenglund @vaadin Note that this is exactly what the light.css / dark.css / common.css architecture does. You set the variables in light.css respectively dark.css, and use them in common.css. No JS needed.

@rob_dodson @nhoizey The core idea is to make everything dependent on the root font size (which in turn you set to 100%, so the user can choose their preferred default size in the browser settings):

“`css
body {
font-size: 100%; /* 16px by default, bu

RT @mrdoob: @tomayac @mathias I wonder if the argument of SMIL not being implemented in all major browsers still stand. https://t.co/jce8fQ

@nhoizey I’m mostly making the case for _not_ setting it to anything absolute; `100%` does not change anything of course :-)

The idea is to make it relative, so you can…

“`css
@​media (min-width: 768px) {
body {
font-size: 112.5%;
}
}
“`

@marcenglund @vaadin Thanks for the kind words 😊. You can actually make it completely independent from JavaScript by following the loading strategy outlined in https://t.co/r0T6Ix5XoI. I love the `media` attribute on `<link rel=stylesheet>`, it’s inc

@slightlylate @jyasskin @kosamari @beverloo @KenjiBaheux It’s coincidence. I get these annoying DiDi SMS in Germany and was never using their app or site on an Android device, only the iOS app.

@simevidas @igrigorik @ppk Setting the root font size to 100% is one of my favorite tips I learned from https://t.co/IkFZu4NyFU.

@rowan_m 🤯 We’ve been pitching PWA wrong the entire time.

Safari will soon have (textual) Async Clipboard API support. 💏
Maybe up next: `image/png` support (https://t.co/rMXTx9q6ia, requested here: https://t.co/nSw1uTonSB). https://t.co/N9Wuu1ppXF

@marcenglund @vaadin This will catch color scheme changes, but you also need to initialize it on first load.

@mrdoob @mathias Thinking about it more, probably one should prohibit all network-involving operations to avoid tracking (onhover etc.).

@mrdoob @mathias Definitely cool!
🤔 If SVG <script> were scoped to the enclosing <svg> tags (rather than being global, as spec’ed now), could we then have scripts execute safely in an <img>?

via Twitter Web App in reply to mrdoob

@mathias @mrdoob @ppparshekar I wonder why anyone thought global scope for SVG <script> was a good idea: “Any functions defined within any ‘script’ element have a “global” scope across the entire current document.”—https://t.co/3C0fk7yywe

I’ve extended my animated SVG favicon demo app to now test SVGs with animations written in CSS, JS, and SMIL.

Turns out, CSS- and SMIL-animated favicons play fine in Firefox (😲), but neither play in Chrome.
