!important and CSS Custom Properties – Frontend Masters Blog

The `!important` part doesn't become part of the value, the whole declaration is treated as !important;

Custom Properties: Questioning “:root” · Jens Oliver Meiert

For custom properties (aka CSS variables) we got into the habit of declaring variables in a rule with a <code>:root</code> selector. Yet unless you’re working in an environment in which style sheets serve several document types (and roots), question this use of <code>:root</code>.

It Is OK to Say “CSS Variables” Instead of (or Alongside) “Custom Properties”, by @kizu:

It is OK to Say “CSS Variables” Instead of (or Alongside) “Custom Properties”

TPAC 2025 just ended, and I am positively tired. Attending it remotely, my sleep schedule is chaotic right now. I have many ideas for CSS-related posts in my list of ideas for November, but almost all of them require at least some amount of research and crafting demos. Well! I found one note that I wanted to expand on, and which sounds tiny enough to be able to finish it in my altered state.
