📘 Just published: “Designing with Abstractions: CSS and the Case of Masonry Layouts”

This (academic) article explores CSS as both a technical system and a design object. It examines how this is shaped through negotiation between conceptual models, implementation constraints, and interface considerations, focusing on the Masonry layout debates.

Appreciation to those participating in CSS WG debates and making this work visible.

Ugh, now I have to decide if the @w3c is correct in it's standard that Lab A/B is defined as -125 to +125, or if implementations in Chrome and Firefox are correct that lab values go from -128 to +128.

So, 100% is still 125, but really in the model behind the scenes 100% is 128.

Grreeeaaat.

#w3c#html#color

Bit stuck on this #lcms2 #LittleCMS2 profile conversion.

Here's the thing, I should be able to transform an xyz d65 color into an sRGB d65 color using relative calorimetric intent as the #w3c CSS Color Module 4 says.

But I keep getting different results for some of the inputs. Some of them come out the same though.

Clipping? Anyone done this before?

Continued thread

As I promised, here's a blog post covering the following points:

1. What is Contrast?
2. Why is Contrast Important?
3. How Can We Measure Contrast?
4. How To Effectively Use a Contrast Checker?

Any feedback is appreciated.

The @w3c recently released version 3 of the #PNG spec more than 2 decades after version 2 was released in 2003. The new spec largely makes official various extensions already in use like animated PNGs, HDR support, and EXIF metadata, so many browsers and graphics apps already largely support it.

Here’s an article by Chris Blume, who is the chair of the W3C PNG Working Group: programmax.net/articles/png-is

The PNG format itself has just received its first update in about 20 years:

The PNG format can now support HDR images, the new HDR-capable PNG is already supported by most browsers.

Personally I'm still a fan of WebP and AVIF, much more recent standards, that support Lossless Compression just like PNG, or Lossy compression like JPG's, giving the user more flexibility. But that's just me personally.

»Nach über zwanzig Jahren – Zeit für ein neues PNG:
Mit der dritten Ausgabe aktualisiert das W3C jetzt die PNG-Spezifikation. Das Bildformat umfasst jetzt APNGs, HDR-Support und unterstützt Exif-Daten.«

Huch schon 20 Jahre her und nun eine neuer Version von @w3c neben den einigen weiteren für Web optimierte Images Formate. Mal sehen bis wann dies populäre Browser dies unterstützen.
