Style Guide

The Tor Styleguide is based on Bootstrap, an open-source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS. We are currently implementing v4.0.0-beta.2.

You can also clone this repository and use our CSS or SASS files. SASS is a CSS extension language. Bootstrap and this styleguide are based on v3.5.4.

If you want to use SASS you can download the complete archive for the styleguide. The scss folder under assets contains all the sass files. Since we use bootstrap, we only add a few styles without modifying bootstrap core or defining new elements whenever possible. These are _tor_variables.scss and _tor.scss. These are imported in the main bootstrap scss file and compiled into the final css.

About

Bootstrap contains a few JavaScript libraries for extra interaction with the DOM. We use these libraries but do not add extra JavaScript. You might notice that if you run Tor Browser with high security mode, JavaScript is disabled by default. This styleguide is designed to also work for users using Tor Browser in high security mode, so that only few elements are affected if you disable JavaScript.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine. This styleguide has been built using Lektor. Lektor is a static content management system. You can build this yourself by installing Lektor.
