About Classless CSS

Classless CSS is a GitHub repository that lists CSS themes and frameworks designed to style plain HTML without requiring special classes on elements. A classless style sheet can be applied to a page by linking to it, which the source describes as useful for prototyping. Each listed project includes a screenshot and, in most cases, links to a repository and a demo.

The list also includes a separate section for class-light frameworks. These frameworks do not require classes on many elements, but some need a wrapper such as a container element, some need custom CSS, and some offer optional classes. The source notes that Picnic CSS requires a specific HTML structure and that SASS-ZERO is a class-light variant made for Ruby on Rails.
