Reset compilation = modern reset + Meyer's reset + normalizer

Demo: https://frontend-layers.github.io/scss-reset/test/index.html

Features

• Based on Meyer's CSS Reset
• Modernized modern-css-reset
• Useful parts from normalize.css
• Optional typography and mobile friendly definitions by SCSS variables (REM, BEM(int))
• Expandable by prebuilded mixins and ports (Accessability, HTML and Web Components, etc.)

Available Mixins

Mixins	Include	Description
disableAnimation	@include disableAnimation;	Disable CSS animation
acDisableAnimation	@include acDisableAnimation;	Disable CSS animation depends of OS configuration
acModeBW	@include acModeBW;	Grayscale Mode
acModeContrast	@include acModeContrast;	Contrast Mode with Inverted colors
meterReset	@include meterReset;	Styles reset for <meter>
progressReset	@include progressReset;	Styles reset for <progress>
inputColorReset	@include inputColorReset;	Rest for input type:color
offx	@include offx;	Prevent horizontal overflow issues for elements
offxAll	@include offxAll;	offx for whole document

@mixin offxAll

This mixin adds the following snippet:

html, body {
  overflow-x: hidden
}

Please be careful. You'll get scroll fix for whole page, but:

• However, this can cause accessibility issues because it permanently hides overflow content
• CSS property position: sticky; doesn't work because an ancestor element (html, body) has overflow property set.

Please use @include offx; for selected block elements instead of to avoid CSS 'sticky' and UX issues. For example:

.page-content {
  @include offx;
}
