And, as a sweetener, I have a new feature added too. To help with accessibility, I've added a font-size switcher. You can see it in real size at the right (portion of a screen shot). I do know that the user always has the ability to press CTRL + or to use the mouse and do a CTRL scroll up or down...
I did more research on file sizes of two of the CSS frameworks – largely because I did not believe the reviews of others. My other motivation is that I am working on some new websites that are mobile first designs. I had concerns about the file sizes of CSS frameworks as they relate to desktops,...
To support a CSS framework requires some Javascript code. There is absolutely no doubt that about. It's easy to verify that, just try the responsiveness of any CSS Framework based website without Javascript and it fails. For the menu to work in narrower viewpoints, you have to display some sort of...
Well, that was a short lived idea. As said in the original post, rolling your own CSS framework is not for the feint-hearted. It's a huge undertaking, plus I have too many components and elements I created for my modified version of Bulma. I'm back to using a modified version of Bulma. It's...
Roll your own CSS code: not for the faint-hearted. I was a bit premature in suggesting this could be done in less than 20Kb ... I'll be lucky to get around 100Kb. Here's my list of "must-haves" and "desired": Responsive grid with same (or similar) class names I am familiar with (Bulma mainly),...
After three reviews of Bulma CSS v1.0.0 ... I think I'll roll my own. I've come up with a few different ways of taming the bloat: Start with the "no-dark-theme" version, add the missing "Helpers", modify the eight hard font calls, and remove minireset (replace, actually, with sanitize). This...
Yesterday I published an article as a follow up to my review of Bulma CSS v1.0.0. Here's the first article titled Bulma v1.0.0 is out: bloatware!! ... and the first follow up article titled Update on Bulma css v1.0.0. In the first article, I made it clear that I've had issues with Bulma CSS...
As an update: it's still bloatware and moreso than I originally thought. I accessed the "no-dark-theme" version. As in the previous article, it is much lighter and came in at 380Kb. But, and this is a big but, it does not match the functionality of version 0.9.4. All of the Helper functions are...
I've had gripes about Bulma pretty much since I started using it. For example, why would anyone use "columns" and "column" class names ... "columns" to refer to a horizontal row and "column" to refer to a vertical column. Just about every other css framework, at least those claiming to be...
Thinking about supplementing your retirement income becoming a school bus driver? The ads make it look appealing. Part time work. No weekends. Split shift, working a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon. All school PA days off, summers off. The ads focus on the pluses ... but...
