Styling Overview

c15t's theming system gives you multiple levels of control, from high-level design tokens to complete style removal.

The flow:

Define tokens (colors, spacing, radius, etc.) in JavaScript
Tokens are injected as CSS custom properties (--c15t-*) at runtime
Components consume these variables in their default styles
You override at any level: tokens, slots, CSS variables, or raw classNames

Styling Approaches

Approach	Control	Use When
Tokens	High	Changing global colors, typography, spacing, radius, shadows, or motion
Slots	Medium	Targeting specific component parts (e.g., the banner title, dialog footer)
CSS Variables	Medium	Overriding `--c15t-*` variables from external CSS
className	Medium	Passing class names to components or slots
noStyle	Full	Removing all default styles, building from scratch

Quick Start

Use the Theme type for TypeScript autocomplete and validation:

import { type ReactNode } from 'react';
import { type Theme, ConsentManagerProvider } from '@c15t/react';

const theme = {
  colors: {
    primary: '#6366f1',
    primaryHover: '#4f46e5',
    surface: '#ffffff',
    text: '#1f2937',
    textMuted: '#6b7280',
  },
  radius: {
    md: '0.75rem',
    lg: '1rem',
  },
  spacing: {
    md: '1.25rem',
  },
} satisfies Theme;

export function ConsentManager({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <ConsentManagerProvider
      options={{
        mode: 'c15t',
        backendURL: 'https://your-instance.c15t.dev',
        theme,
      }}
    >
      {children}
    </ConsentManagerProvider>
  );
}

Styling Paths

1. Design tokens

Set global values for colors, typography, spacing, radius, shadows, and motion:

options={{ theme: { colors: { primary: '#6366f1' } } }}

2. Component slots

Target specific component parts via the slots object:

options={{ theme: { slots: { consentBannerTitle: 'text-2xl font-bold' } } }}

3. CSS variables

Override --c15t-* custom properties in your stylesheet.

4. className prop

Pass className directly to components:

<ConsentBanner className="my-custom-banner" />;

5. noStyle prop

Strip all default styles and build from scratch (best paired with Headless Mode):

<ConsentBanner noStyle />;

Common Styling Tasks

Change brand color globally

options={{ theme: { colors: { primary: '#0ea5e9', primaryHover: '#0284c7' } } }}

Make the banner card more compact

options={{ theme: { spacing: { md: '0.75rem', lg: '1rem' } } }}

Round primary/secondary buttons

options={{ theme: { slots: { buttonPrimary: 'rounded-full', buttonSecondary: 'rounded-full' } } }}

Enable dark mode safely

options={{
  colorScheme: 'system',
  theme: {
    colors: { surface: '#ffffff', text: '#1f2937' },
    dark: { surface: '#111827', text: '#f9fafb' },
  },
}}

Info

noStyle: true removes layout and visual defaults. Use it only when you want full control.
Use either tokens/slots or raw CSS variable overrides intentionally to avoid conflicting style sources.
For dark mode, c15t supports .dark and .c15t-dark.
