This project uses the best parts from my previous projects:

https://github.com/vladocar/Basic-CSS-Typography-Reset https://github.com/vladocar/infinity-css-grid https://github.com/vladocar/Simple-Button

Change root css variables with your color palette

:root{
--c1:#0074d9;
--c2:#eee;
--c3:#fff;
--c4:#000;
--c5:#fff;
}

Adjust the round corners

By default are 8px, use --rc: 0px; if you don't like round corners.

:root{
--rc: 8px;
}

Override the colors in the dark mode:

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
	:root {
        --c2:#333;
        --c3:#1e1f20;
        --c4:#fff;
	}
}

How you can use the infinity flex grid?

Use the HTML5 tags selection and aside to make flex grid.

</section>

How to use this project?

Simply download and personalize the basic.css file.

npm i @vladocar/basic.css

Why use this project?

Instead of using CSS Reset why not just Set the basic css formatting and styling. You can even make some grids with the HTML5 tags. Naturally if you want to build something more complex you should use CSS classes. This project works great in combination with other CSS frameworks.
