Overview

The Fluid Skinning System is a modular CSS framework: a group of CSS files with a specially designed structure and class-specific format. The modular format allows you to add, remove, and mix classes to get the desired effect.

With FSS and User Interface Options, you can:

  • control the appearance of your website using pre-existing modular CSS classes,
  • support user-customization of the appearance of a website or Infusion components,
  • deliver a look-and-feel for Infusion components
  • and much more.

Why Use FSS?

In addition to making it easy to lay out your websites, FSS is designed to work with the Infusion (Floe) UI Options (2008-2009) component to allow users to personalize the display of content to their own individual needs. This empowers users with visual or mobility impairments, for example, to alter the colour schemes or layout, enabling them to access content that otherwise might be completely inaccessible to them.
