CSS variables
General
For using CSS variable you use it with var(--NAME-OF-VARAIBLE) for example if we to use one of our color variables it could look like this color: var(--dw-color-primary). It will pick out the defined color by the Writer so we can easily update this in the future without going over plugins.
Available variables
CSS variable name | Description |
--dw-body-color | Body color for the Writer |
--dw-link-color | Link color. Shouldn't be use to fallback to Writer |
--dw-border-radius | Default border radius in content area |
--dw-image-border-radius | Default image border radius |
--dw-top-bar-height | Height of the top bar |
Fonts | |
--dw-font-family-base | Default font-family |
--dw-font-family-sans-serif | Default sans-serif font. Same as --dw-font-family-base |
--dw-font-family-serif | Default serif font. |

Color variables
Every CSS color variable starts with the prefix --dw-color-.
General you will just use default color for each predefined color for the Writer and that will be easiest just to use prefix with the name and you will get the default color. For example --dw-color-primary or --dw-color-alert. That is the same as --dw-color-primary-500 or --dw-color-alert-500. Default colors are marked with *.
If you will work with a color in most cases it's enough to work with 100, 300, 500 (default) and 800 to get right feeling.
In color scheme under you can see what text color you have to use together with a specific background color to get correct contrast.
