Coppice
A theme with no CSS you did not ask for — 4KB, and it still looks like a decision.
== Description ==
Coppice is an experiment that turned out to be usable: a complete theme in under 4KB of CSS, with no utility classes, no reset beyond box-sizing, and every dimension derived from six custom properties.
Changing one property — the measure — recalculates spacing, heading sizes and the grid, because they are all expressed in terms of it rather than as independent numbers that drift.
It is not for every site. It is for the ones where the content is text and the design budget is honesty.
== Screenshots ==
Numbered the way they ship in /assets/. Click any one to see it full width.
== Installation ==
- Install and activate the theme.
- Change the six properties in the style variation editor if you want to.
- That is the whole configuration surface.
No JavaScript at all. Not a reduced amount — none.
== Frequently asked questions ==
Is 4KB a real number?
Uncompressed, unminified, including comments. The readme shows the measurement.
Can I extend it?
A child theme with your own CSS. Adding to Coppice defeats the exercise, so I will not be.
== Changelog ==
= 1.3.0 =
- Everything derived from the measure property, so one change rescales the whole design coherently.
= 1.1.0 =
- Dark scheme added within the budget by expressing colours as relative to two base values.
