Getting started

An overview of kimsQ RC, including how to download and use it, some basic templates and examples, and more.

Customization options

Customize kimsQ RC with our built-in custom variables file and easily toggle global CSS preferences with new $enable-* Sass variables. Override a variable’s value and recompile with the included Gruntfile as needed.

Customizing variables

kimsQ RC 4 ships with a _custom.scss file for easy variable overrides. Copy and paste relevant lines from _variables.scss into the custom file and recompile your Sass to change our default values. Be sure to remove the !default flag from override values.

For example, to change out the background-color and color for the <body>, you’d do the following:

// kimsQ RC overrides
//
// Copy variables from `_variables.scss` to this file to override default values
// without modifying source files.

$body-bg:    $gray-dark;
$body-color: $gray-light;

Do the same for any variable you need to override, including the global options listed below.

Global options

You can find and customize these variables for key global options in our _variables.scss file.
