You can CSS filter invert it, too. There are so many interesting options now:https://medium.com/@mwichary/dark-theme-in-a-day-3518dde2955a …
I actually thought of this article when making this tweet. While possible, it feels a bit hacky. I'll return to my previous & slightly academic point: it'd help to have a 'semantic image' type that, like text, could be formatted easily, using the default fore/background colors
Yeah, SVG sort of feels like it’s getting there, although I’d really want to have a vehicle where I can define/name different colours when I create, and then change them in CSS (tricky if it’s more than one).
Ideally, if I named the colours the right way, they would connect to the right variables automatically?
I do sometimes want “color” to just cascade into the SVG elements without doing anything. But I also think a bitmap could also be understood similarly: black–to–white get automatically understood as background–to–foreground?
Exactly! But I'd like to step back a bit and just ask: are we missing an opportunity to define a new type of image? In addition to foreground color, what *else* would we like these 'image glyphs' to inherit? Font-size? x-height? line-height?
Can SVG images inherit these values from an html css? If so, we don't need anything new, just a guideline and some tool improvements
Nope, none as far as I know. They are all different names if they even exist.
