The tc- prefix is used for TW class names. So IMO it will be confusing if we use it for CSS variables too.

tv- is used for TW variables. So imo --tv- can be used for CSS variables. This would be more consistent

Actually c stands for color here. In custom properties there is no classes, but there exists color data type.

Hi @Leilei332 I do think that using tc- is confusing, and we need to adopt a different prefix here. Many appropriate prefixes have already been used (eg tv- which is used for TW system variables).

Perhaps we might introduce a new v- prefix for CSS variable, so you’d have v-alert-background etc.

If we don't care about the potential name conflict between CSS settings and palette colors, I think tp- prefix is acceptable. If we do care, we may use tp-c- prefix.

I think --cc- for CSS color and
--cp- for CSS parameter would be OK and consistent.

It avoids name clashes with user CSS variables, so they do not use any prefix. It's also easy to discuss at Talk. Users may use a shortcut for cc-variables or cp-variables -- It's not correct, but we still will know what is meant.

This isn't acceptable. It can't show that this custom property is only for tiddlywiki.
