Nowadays there's `light-dark()`, but this is still useful for other types of values that change with the theme. For example, you may want to make subtle changes to font values based on the theme. Or to how thick lines/ borders need to be.

Since `:has()` is now cross-browser 🥳 here's what's still my 🌟 top 🌟 use case for it: theme switching!

In the very simple case, when we want to switch from a light to a dark theme, we switch `--dark` from `0` to `1` on the `body` when the dark theme option is selected.

It is nice, although I will miss the column to the right with an author bio. I always thought it was a nice little feature.

Just shared a new video drawing with CSS. This time is Yoda (or Grogu?) in a kawaii-ish style.

Say hello to The Big-Eyed CSS Shroom —
a goofy little mushroom with massive eyes, long legs, and even a canary on his hand.

It’s weird. It’s cute. It’s built with love (and CSS).

Because I keep seeing `position: absolute` + lots of of offset + size + transform + sometimes even margin properties to stack + middle align the stacked items... you can easily do it with 3 #CSS properties!

.container { display: grid }

.stack-item {
/* stack all items in the same 1 cell grid area
* at the intersection between row 1 & column 1 */
grid-area: 1/ 1;
/* place all items in the middle of this cell
* along both axes, both vertically & horizontally */
place-self: center
}

For years, one of the most befuddling things for me in CSS was how “height: 100%” would sometimes just not work. Every time I tried to use it was a roll of the dice. 😅

Like everything else in CSS, though, it all makes perfect sense when we understand the underlying mechanism. ✨

Let’s explore. 🧵

One of the most perplexing and befuddling things in CSS for me, for many years, was the behaviour of percentage-based heights. Sometimes, seemingly at random, setting “height: 100%” would have no effe...
