Themes & layers

A theme is a token file plus the shared mixins; basic (Pico-faithful) ships today, and every theme shares the same tokens so markup never changes.

Entry points

@import "@excom/valence/basic.css";        /* the theme: mixins + tokens + every module */
@import "@excom/valence/src/mixins.basic.css"; /* mixins only, for element authors */

basic.css is mixins.basic.css + basic-vars.css (the tokens, both schemes) + apply.css (every module applied once). basic-vars.css alone gives the tokens without any element styling.

The nucleus-kit bundle re-exports basic.css, so NucleusKit users already have it.

Layers

apply.css puts every element / alias module inside one anonymous @layer. Anything unlayered — your stylesheet, a custom element's CSS — beats it regardless of specificity, so overriding Valence.css never needs !important. The class utilities (.container, .grid, .overflow-auto, .abstract, opt-outs) are deliberately unlayered so they win over element styles a custom element ships later.

Mixins for element authors

Custom elements that want to look native import src/mixins.basic.css (tokens are read from the document; no theme is duplicated) and apply the mixins in their own CSS:

Mixin Use
modal-backdrop The dimmer behind a dialog / drawer (dialog::backdrop, [role="presentation"], .tag-backdrop)
modal-close-control The close icon control (.close, [rel="prev"])
util-nested-card, util-elevated Card surfaces
util-focus-ring, util-press-feedback Interaction states
util-small-note Muted block note (what small[role="note"] uses)
abstract-wrapper Donut-scope a direct-child rule through .abstract wrappers
details-animated-content The accordion's animated ::details-content
unanimated Kill motion (the opt-out)

Module mixins (module-button, module-card, …) apply a whole module; a theme calls them all from apply.css.

Further themes

flat and paper token files exist in the repository (support/) but are not published entries yet; they will swap in without markup changes because they only redefine tokens.

Beta. The Nucleus Stack is in beta for a few weeks until features are stabilized and optimized.

Thanks — we'll email you when it ships.
