LOTUS is very simple to use. It doesn't require learning a lot of class names like other frameworks. It applies a few basic styles to the HTML following the HTML Semantics .
Here is a demo of the basic HTML elements.
Customizing
LOTUS comes with a basic set of CSS variables :
:root {
--typography-font : "Lato" , sans-serif ;
--typography-code : "Inconsolata" , monospace ;
--typography-size : 1.6em ;
--typography-line-height : 1.4 ;
--grid-max-width : 120rem ;
--grid-gutter-size : 2rem ;
--color-primary : #6750A4 ;
--color-on-primary : #FFFFFF ;
--color-primary-container : #EADDFF ;
--color-on-primary-container : #21005D ;
--color-secondary : #625B71 ;
--color-on-secondary : #FFFFFF ;
--color-secondary-container : #E8DEF8 ;
--color-on-secondary-container : #1D192B ;
--color-tertiary : #7D5260 ;
--color-on-tertiary : #FFFFFF ;
--color-tertiary-container : #FFD8E4 ;
--color-on-tertiary-container : #31111D ;
--color-error : #B3261E ;
--color-on-error : #FFFFFF ;
--color-error-container : #F9DEDC ;
--color-on-error-container : #410E0B ;
--color-outline : #79747E ;
--color-background : #FFFBFE ;
--color-on-background : #1C1B1F ;
--color-surface : #FFFBFE ;
--color-on-surface : #1C1B1F ;
--color-surface-variant : #E7E0EC ;
--color-on-surface-variant : #49454F ;
--color-inverse-surface : #313033 ;
--color-inverse-on-surface : #F4EFF4 ;
--color-inverse-primary : #D0BCFF ;
--color-shadow : #000000 ;
--color-surface-tint : #6750A4 ;
--color-outline-variant : #CAC4D0 ;
--color-scrim : #000000 ;
}
To override the variables, just add them to your :root
selector after importing lotus.css
@import url(lotus.css)
: root {
--color-primary : #6750A4 ;
--color-on-primary : #FFFFFF ;
--grid-maxWidth : 108rem ;
}
/* Your other styles... */
Addtionally, you can add dark mode to your site, to support devices that prefer dark mode.
