# minimax.css > A modern alternative to CSS reset library, with variables @bakung-ui/minimax.css is a standalone "Reboot" stylesheet formerly bundled with @bakung-ui/bakung.css. I separated it specifically for simple blogs that don’t need a massive UI kit but still want to make the most of default HTML elements. Our versioning is based on the year and month. Version 26.1.0 was launched in January 2026; all future releases, including minor updates, will follow this `year/month` format, for ex. `27.3.0` is release in March 2027. **INSTALL** ```sh npm i @bakung-ui/minimax.css ``` or ```sh yarn add @bakung-ui/minimax.css ``` **Download** https://github.com/bakung-ui/minimax.css/releases/latest/ **CDN** https://app.unpkg.com/@bakung-ui/minimax.css@latest/ https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@bakung-ui/minimax.css@latest/ **REQUIREMENTS** ```html ``` **CUSTOMIZE** ``` [MAIN FOLDER] ├ css // Files in here are editable | ├ _styles.css // You can edit, though only to a limited extent | ├ _variables.css | └ index.css // Entry file to merge css files └ dist ├ minimax-lite.min.css // Without _variables.css ├ minimax.css ├ minimax.min.css // You shall use this for production └ minimax.min.static.css // Without variables ``` Feel free to customize files in the css folder especially _variables.css file, after making changes, run command `npm run build` to build your changes, check your new build files in dist folder. When changing the `font-family` in your CSS, ensure you also update the corresponding font link in the HTML ``. ## What does it do? * Reset HTML elements. * Normalizes styles for a wide range of elements. * Corrects bugs and common browser inconsistencies. * Improves usability with subtle modifications. * Explains what code does using detailed comments. ## Browser support * Chromium* * Firefox * Safari ## Extended details and known issues Additional detail and explanation of the esoteric parts of minimax.css. #### origin minimax.css use necolas/normalize.css, you can think this library is another variation with different flavor and additional toppings. #### `pre, code, kbd, samp` The `font-family: monospace, monospace` hack fixes the inheritance and scaling of font-size for preformatted text. The duplication of `monospace` is intentional. [Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Davidgothberg/Test59). #### `sub, sup` Normally, using `sub` or `sup` affects the line-box height of text in all browsers. [Source](https://gist.github.com/413930). #### `select` By default, Chrome on OS X and Safari on OS X allow very limited styling of `select`, unless a border property is set. The default font weight on `optgroup` elements cannot safely be changed in Chrome on OSX and Safari on OS X. #### `[type="checkbox"]` It is recommended that you do not style checkbox and radio inputs as Firefox's implementation does not respect box-sizing, padding, or width. #### `[type="number"]` Certain font size values applied to number inputs cause the cursor style of the decrement button to change from `default` to `text`. #### `[type="search"]` The search input is not fully stylable by default. In Chrome and Safari on OSX/iOS you can't control `font`, `padding`, `border`, or `background`. In Chrome and Safari on Windows you can't control `border` properly. It will apply `border-width` but will only show a border color (which cannot be controlled) for the outer 1px of that border. Applying `-webkit-appearance: textfield` addresses these issues without removing the benefits of search inputs (e.g. showing past searches). ## Contributing Please read the [contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) in order to make the contribution process easy and effective for everyone involved. ## Plugin guideline If you intend to create repositories or distribution packages related to minimax.css, please follow the bakung-ui guidelines to ensure discoverability and ease of use for the community, [See the guideline](CONTRIBUTING.md#plugin-guidelines). ## [image][npm-url] [image][classic-yarn-url] [![changelog]][changelog-url] [npm-url]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bakung-ui/minimax.css [classic-yarn-url]: https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/package/@bakung-ui/minimax.css [yarn-url]: https://yarnpkg.com/package?name=@bakung-ui/minimax.css [changelog-url]: CHANGELOG.md
