Back in the day, centering an element was one of the trickiest things in CSS. As the language has evolved, we’ve been given lots of new tools we can use… But how do we pick the best option? When do we use Flexbox, or CSS Grid, or something else? Let's dig into it.

Цвета из нашей палитры везде будут отображаться правильным образом и без искажений. Любой из 216 цветов «безопасной» палитры может быть использован для графики, текста и фонов.

Ограниченный список цветов. Поможет, когда важна совместимость с плохими экранами. Почти всегда, то есть.

Apart from that I rely very much on how browsers present my site, from the default font and size to the paragraph distance and the emoji set used. HTML was actually made to be responsive. It's a reflowing format that theoretically works on any screen size. But of course that won't be the case when there's things like sidebars or banners and stuff. And there pretty much always is.

The truth is, if you want to build the most-accessible product possible, you need to use both pixels and ems/rems. It's not an either/or situation. There are circumstances where rems are more accessible, and other circumstances where pixels are more accessible.

Practical CSS and design tips that helps in building future-proof user interfaces.

Tobias tells us how a proper app theming mechanism is basically impossible in GNOME, and application ecosystems in general.

“Users” want a lot of things, but just because you want something impossible that doesn’t make it possible. In this case, it’s important to be aware of the costs of giving complete visual freedom to “themes”, both in individual app developer effort, and chilling effects on the ecosystem. If given a choice between customization and more, better apps, I’m confident the majority of people would prefer the latter.

Note that Betula is much more open to customization with CSS. It's a literal setting! I don't use it, of course. If I want to change something visually, I just push it upstream. Y'all folks can do the same, of course, but I won't accept everything. So you've got custom CSS. I think it works well.

The very interesting part for me is the CSS predecessor:
