What are the best lightweight CSS UI libraries containing widgets like tabs, trees, etc.? I don't have webdev experience (only GTK, etc.), but I need to write a web dashboard. I tried looking around but the only alternatives seem to be either bloated JS frameworks or abandoned experiments.

I am using this in production! : https://khang-nd.github.io/7.css/ Of course, it's only for my own invoicing/crm system. I started on replacing the look and feel of everything with a flat more modern/less user-friendly equivalent by downloading the static css and modifying it to look like material UI designs.

Oh wow, I really love this. PHPBB also comes to mind for this sort of style. https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewforum.php?f=551

Is there a name for this style? Im also trying to pinpoint the defining characteristics. The thing that stand out to me are:

- 3d-ish buttons

- gradients (headers, buttons, etc)

- not much whitespace between text

- small text

no suggestions in this reply, nor can I speak to if this is a good or bad idea, but you may like to learn about "classless css frameworks", basically just targeting the html5 semantics https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css also, https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks others may give you a _real_ recommendation. cheers

Yup this is the place to start if you dont want to have to learn something new. Doesn't get you too far but it's great bang for your buck.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not every question is a criticism that needs to be defended against. The person you're responding to could very well just like to know the reason if one exists, no more, no less. If you know a better way to get that info than asking the question, I'm all ears. (major digression ahead) This is actually something I've been digging into for a while, trying to improve my own communication. My own current best answer for…

I think I'm more cynical. Almost everything stated on the internet will be perceived as antagonistic. At least by some. It's more a representation of the reader's internal state rather than an issue with the question / statement. Unless, of course, the question / statement is overtly antagonistic.

It's definitely not just on the internet, I've been working for years to learn how to not upset people for asking reasonable and genuine questions IRL. It's a real struggle to this day to notice I'm failing to engage in the social ritual correctly and come up with appropriate extra positivity on the spot just so I can be considered a non-antagonist.

I suppose its not the most lightweight, and it's considered outdated by many but I actually think Bootstrap is great for your use case.

It uses classes to style html inline and looks pretty good. The downside is it gives a fairly generic look but I don't think you should be too worried about that.

Tailwind has largely replaced it because it offers more flexibility. You use utility classes to write the css (add padding, change color, etc.) and isnt as opinionated as bootstrap. But I dont think you want that.

If you really are going for lightweight and simple you should checkout classless css which only uses html to style things. Nothing needed from you other than including the css sheet. https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css
