WP Base

A theming process using Bones.

Base theme

• bones
  • bones/library/scss
  • style.scss
    • import _normalize.scss - a reset
    • import _mixins.scss
    • import _base.scss - optimized for 320px to 480px
    • media query, min-width: 481px - _481up.scss - larger mobile devices
    • media query,min-width: 768px - _768up.scss - tablet and basic desktop
    • media query, -webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5, min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5, min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5 - _2x.scss
    • basic print style
  • webfont goes in library/fonts

Grid

• semantic.gs
  • zipball
  • grid.scss | grid.scss (raw)

@import 'grid.less'; # defaults to 12 column, 960 pixel grid system. Customize by overriding three variables (after the grid.less import has been declared):

@column-width: 60;
@gutter-width: 20;
@columns: 12;

@total-width: 100%; # for fluid (percentage-based) grid rather than a fixed pixels
