Themes can be forced on document level <html data-theme="light">
or on any HTML element <article data-theme="dark">
+ Color schemes can be defined for the entire document using
+ <html data-theme="light">
or
+ for specific HTML elements, such as
+ <article data-theme="dark">
.
+
+ Color schemes at the HTML tag level work great for elements such as
+ a
, button
, table
,
+ input
, textarea
, select
,
+ article
, dialog
, progress
.
+
+ CSS variables specific to the color scheme are assigned to every + HTML tag. However, to maintain transparent backgrounds and ensure + colors are inherited from the parent tag, we have not enforced + specific background and color settings across all HTML tags. +
+
+ For some other HTML tags, you might need to explicitly specify
+ background-color
and color
.
