Roots theme takes you back to the roots. It is a modern HTML5 + CSS3 theme blueprint inspired by the HTML5 boilerplate (Paul Irish and Divya Manian) and drupal theme tao (Frank Febbraro).

The main features are:

• browser default style reset
• complete drupal core style reset
• server side css browser selection - no more hacks or conditional markup
• implementation of a meaningfull typographic base grid / style
• css expert skill included (kudos boilerplate)
• theme preprocessors (kudos tao theme)
• custom theme settings for design development

What's next? Just implement your design as a sub-theme to roots to benfit from a lean and clean base. As a starting point for rapid development the sub-theme Sprout is in the package. Sprout provides basically a clean admin theme and some ideas about how to build up on roots.

Under the hood

Style reset

The roots style reset is a HTML5 reset (including deprecated html tags). To overcome the annoying work of re-styling drupal core elements (eg. ul.menu) the roots base theme excludes all drupal core style sheets. Saved bandwidth is a free addon.

A subtheme for precision wich acts as a basetheme. For use without panels everywhere.
