Preferences

On this page, you can set your important preferences such as adding your own class/variable prefixes, option to output REM units, set your min and max screen widths, root font size, plus more.

Video Overview

Project Settings

Project Title

Give your project a title to easily identify it. This title will also be used as the file name when exporting your preset.

Default Theme

Select the default theme for your project. Use .cf-theme-dark on the element for manual dark mode. Auto will use system preferences.

If you are not seeing the selected theme being applied, please make sure to view the website from incognito, because sometimes a cookie is stored when logged in from when using the theme toggle.

Font and Spacing

Root Font Size

You can choose between 100% and 62.5% for the root font size. Values in fluid calculators (spacing and typography) will get automatically recalculated.

Min Screen Width

Screen width for the minimum size in fluid calculators (spacing and typography).

Max Screen Width

Screen width for the maximum size in fluid calculators (spacing and typography).

If using a website builder, we recommend setting the max screen width the same as you have it set in your builder.

CSS Processing

Enable PostCSS

Use PostCSS to process the outputted CSS to automatically include vendor prefixes and fallbacks to ensure cross-browser compatibility.

With PostCSS, you can write your CSS rules without vendor prefixes (in fact, forget about them entirely!)

For example, this CSS:

::placeholder {
  color: gray;
}

Automatically becomes:

::-moz-placeholder {
  color: gray;
}
::placeholder {
  color: gray;
}

Output REM Units

Pixel values in typography and spacing will get automatically recalculated and outputted in REM.

Smooth Linear Gradients

Generates more iterations on the value to create smoother linear gradients for enhanced visual appeal.

Prefixes and Customization

Class Prefix

Add a custom prefix in front of all Core Framework classes, to avoid conflicts with existing classes with the same generic name.

If you decide to add class prefixes, we recommend setting this before building your website. If you have added classes to your elements and then decide to use class prefixes later, then you will need to re-add the classes to your elements!

Variable Prefix

Add a custom prefix before every Core Framework variable (colors, spaces, and sizes), to avoid conflicts with existing variables with the same generic name.

If you decide to add variable prefixes, we recommend setting this before building your website. If you have added variables to your elements and then decide to use variable prefixes later, then you will need to re-add the variables to your elements and classes!

Accessibility and Usability

Disable Hover on Touch Devices

Disable hover styles on touch devices for improved user experience.

Respect Reduced Motion

If enabled, all animations will be disabled when the user has enabled the 'Reduce motion' option in their OS settings.

Enable Clickable Parent

Enable a clickable parent class to use on your links. This is useful for adding to card titles, which will expand the clickable area and improve accessibility. By default, this class name is .expand-click

Please remember to set the parent wrapper to position: relative; so that the expansion does not go over the bounds of the wrapper.

Disable Focusable Parent On Click

A focusable parent is added on click by default, toggle this option to turn it off.

Readability

Add Group Comments

Enable comments in the final stylesheet to identify and organize groups easily.
