Custom Property Fallbacks, by @matthewmorete.com (@frontendmasters.com):
Nachdem ich einige Zeit mit FSE-Themes gespielt habe, ist der beste Teil für mich die umfangreiche Verwendung von CSS custom Properties. So fand ich einen schicken Weg, um auf die Admin-Leiste zu prüfen, wenn ein fixierter Header verwendet wird.

I so often get annoyed with #CSS #tutorials whose half of the code is variables, just to reduce redundancy. They would be much quicker to understand in pure CSS. If I need a value just barely twice, I'd rather write "0.3s" twice instead of "var(--blah-motion-duration)". What the fuck? You don't need to show off that you understand #CustomProperties.
