# Silex v3.7.3 — CSS Variables and many bug fixes CSS Variables plugin lays the foundation for themeable templates and upcoming dark mode. Plus MCP integration for AI agents and a long list of bug fixes. ## 🎨 New plugin: CSS Variables (foundation for theming) `@silexlabs/grapesjs-css-variables` lets you define and reference CSS custom properties (variables) directly from the style manager.

Available standalone (stdio) and embedded in the editor. ## 🐛 Notable Fixes - WebKitGTK drag-and-drop now works (Linux usability) - FTP save when `src/` folder doesn't exist (#1644) - "Default styles missing randomly" — root cause fixed - El
