@lukewarlow that was discussed extensively, see the minutes. The TLDR is that: * The current `(prefers-color-scheme)` behavior already doesn't represent the user preference (it's influenced by the embedder, etc). * Most (all?) existing `(prefers-color-scheme)` usage should convert to the hypothetical new media query. That includes tons of existing content. * If we were starting clean, a `(prefers-color-scheme)` that represents just the browser preference, and a `(color-scheme)` that represents the color scheme, inc So it seemed preferable to add a more explicit media query for the "top level page's preferred color scheme" and keeping all existing code working than flipping stuff around. -- GitHub Notification of comment by emilio Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13377#issuecomment-4173519813 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
