A Better Blog Post Authoring Experience in ACSS 4.0!

One of the biggest failures of Gutenberg is its inability to distinguish context properly. For example, if your website uses a black background and white text, Gutenberg will offer you a black background and white text.

This not POSTS. Why? Because your post template might inject blog post content into a white/light area even though your site is black. See the Etch blog for an example of this.

The problem is that Gutenberg doesn’t know you’re injecting blog post content into a white/light area, so it continues to offer you a white on black authoring experience.

This is dumb, and ACSS 4.0 fixes it.

In ACSS 4.0, you can override the editor background and foreground color on blog posts only. This is true even if you use a CPT for blog posts. This way, the block editor on PAGES and other CPTs can inherit your website colors while the place you author blog posts can have a custom color experience.

Very helpful.
