Remember that a custom property is just regular ol\u2019 CSS that can be set like this:<\/p>\n<pre><small><code>:root {\r\n --mainColor: #f06d06;\r\n}\r\nheader {\r\n background-color: var(--mainColor);\r\n}<\/code><\/small><\/pre>\n<p style=\"font-family: \"Source Sans Pro\", \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #202020;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">The browser will read that <span style=\"font-family:courier new,courier,lucida sans typewriter,lucida typewriter,monospace\">mainColor<\/span> variable and set the <span style=\"font-family:courier new,courier,lucida sans typewriter,lucida typewriter,monospace\">background-color<\/span> of the header appropriately. Custom Properties can do <a href=\"https:\/\/css-tricks.com\/difference-between-types-of-css-variables\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #2BAADF;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\">pretty much<\/a> anything preprocessor variables can do, but much more. Chris describes why this might be useful:<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n<p style=\"font-family: \"Source Sans Pro\", \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #202020;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">One use case for CSS Custom Properties would be <strong>theming<\/strong>\u00a0a site.

But one piece of this whole web development puzzle\u00a0that isn\u2019t getting any more complicated is one that we always overlook; the text.<\/p>\n<p>I often see web developers and designers stress over animations and illustrations, working through the night on pixel perfect mockups or choosing the right fonts. And yet in every single one of these conversations I want to whisper to the designer as they work: \u201c<em>what about the text?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the most boring part of the interface, and you\u2019re not likely going to get a promotion or a fancy new job on the other side of the world by fretting over a few words here and there. But the paragraphs and sentences, the tone and voice of our interfaces, that\u2019s\u00a0the most important part. Without them we\u2019re just coloring in meaningless shapes.<\/p>\n<p>So whenever I find myself fretting about an interface these days and spending too much time on a small UI issue I know that I have to stop, take a deep breath and whisper to myself again.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhat about the text?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\n

But one piece of this whole web development puzzle\u00a0that isn\u2019t getting any more complicated is one that we always overlook; the text.<\/p>\n<p>I often see web developers and designers stress over animations and illustrations, working through the night on pixel perfect mockups or choosing the right fonts. And yet in every single one of these conversations I want to whisper to the designer as they work: \u201c<em>what about the text?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the most boring part of the interface, and you\u2019re not likely going to get a promotion or a fancy new job on the other side of the world by fretting over a few words here and there. But the paragraphs and sentences, the tone and voice of our interfaces, that\u2019s\u00a0the most important part. Without them we\u2019re just coloring in meaningless shapes.<\/p>\n<p>So whenever I find myself fretting about an interface these days and spending too much time on a small UI issue I know that I have to stop, take a deep breath and whisper to myself again.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhat about the text?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\n
