Spectre.css is a lightweight, responsive and modern CSS framework.

Spectre uses Gulp for compiling CSS. Firstly you need to install NPM, which is used to manage Gulp and other dependencies.
Then, you can build the CSS file from the command-line:
- Navigate to the root director of Spectre
- Run
npm install. NPM will install all dev dependencies as listed in package.json - When completed, run
gulp buildto compile Sass to CSS and minify files - You can find compiled CSS files in the /dist directory
gulp build- compile Sass to CSS and minify files (default)gulp docs- compile documentationgulp watch- watch file changes and re-compile CSS files
Archer-specific customizations of the base Spectre styles are included in /src/_archer.scss and get compiled into the final CSS whenever gulp build or gulp watch is run.
Spectre uses Autoprefixer to make most styles compatible with earlier browsers and Normalize.css for CSS resets. Spectre is designed for modern browsers. For best compatibility, these browsers are recommended:
- Chrome (LAST 4)
- Microsoft Edge (LAST 4)
- Firefox (EXTENDED SUPPORT RELEASE)
- Safari (LAST 4)
- Opera (LAST 4)
- Internet Explorer 10+
Spectre supports Internet Explorer 10+, but some HTML5 and CSS3 features are not perfectly supported by Internet Explorer.
