What I would love to see in a design system is something in terms of "white-label" components. I'm talking about components with great UX, but basically no styling applied.

I'm not sure if what I'm talking about is possible, and I'm not sure what it would look like -- but I'd love a framework that just makes everything work really nice - except it doesn't force you to do really quirky css hacks to re-style the thing.

If that makes any sense :)

Agreed. I'm surprised not to have seen this. It reminds me of the "skeleton" wordpress themes from ~10 years ago. You get a view layer that's marked up and connected/connectable, but that has no styles.

Can't you change the style of a Bootstrap layout without changing the functionality? I thought that is the point of all the different "themes" they have.

Ever taken a look at how bootstrap's CSS is written? It's horrible and even worse when you start to try to override certain things :(

Makes perfect sense! Thank you.
