Merry Christmas 🎄 !
I am wondering are there folks in Browser teams who can elaborate of exposing the UI theme tokens of system and browser to the web app developers?

Consumer Semantic Theming in addition to custom/light/dark, providing the "native". But the amount of colors which passed down to CSS is far from sufficient. The browser as native application consumes OS theme and also has own customization ➡️ CSS

Looking for a lead.

Cheers in New 2026 🎠year!
