Orbitarium Design Lite
Orbitarium Design Lite, version 1.1

The same design system, at a fraction of the weight.

Lite keeps the orb- class names, tokens and core components of Orbitarium Design, drops the raised gradients and spring motion, and ships in about 35 KB. Built for landing pages, docs, admin tools and slow phones.

This whole page is Orbitarium Design Lite

Lite has no preset palette. Pick any color and it becomes --orb-primary; every tint, hover and focus ring follows. Flip dark mode in the header.

Why Lite

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Lite is cut from the same source as Orbitarium Design. When a project outgrows it, swap two links and every page keeps working.

About 35 KB, in total

Stylesheet and script together weigh well under half of the full build. No web fonts, images or icons bundled in.

Same classes as Full

Every Lite class exists in the full build with the same name. Upgrade by changing /lite/style.css to /style.css, nothing else.

Flat and quiet

Solid fills, hairline borders and short color fades. No gradients, glows or spring animations, so it stays smooth on low-end devices.

One token re-themes it

Set --orb-primary to your brand color and every tint derives from it through color-mix(). Five semantic tones cover the rest.

Dark mode included

Add orb-dark to <html>, or let the 4 KB script follow the system setting and remember the choice.

Mobile-first

The header folds into a menu, modals become bottom sheets and tables stack into cards on small screens. No extra markup.

Buttons

Flat, crisp, instantly readable.

Solid, secondary, soft, outline, ghost and link variants in three sizes. Hover darkens the fill, focus shows a clear ring. Recolor with a semantic tone.

Lite vs Full

Pick the build that fits the project.

Start with Lite for content sites and simple tools. Move to Full when you need tabs, toasts, dashboards or the raised look.

Install

Two files. That's the install.

Link style.css in the head, add two classes to <body>, and write orb- markup. script.js is optional, it adds dark mode, modals and the mobile menu.

Load both from the CDN, or download them and serve them yourself.
