light-dark() isn't always the same as prefers-color-scheme (#tilPost)

Read Original

This technical article clarifies that the new CSS light-dark() function is not a direct replacement for prefers-color-scheme media queries. It details that light-dark() requires an explicit `color-scheme: light dark` property to function, unlike the media query which responds directly to OS settings. The post includes code examples and discusses implications for web development, specifically within a Tailwind CSS context.
