What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • The band now sits between real page content above and below, which is the only way to judge the clearance maths — a skewed band in isolation always looks fine.
  • Stat labels are full sentences rather than CSS property names, so the band works as a marketing section and still demonstrates the technique.
  • Product upgrade: '−4deg / +4deg / tan(4°)' cards became agency outcome figures, with an intro block, a band subtitle and a closing CTA row.

How this works

The counter-skew becomes structural. In CSS, .band > * handled it and any new wrapper silently rendered tilted. The *: variant compiles to the same selector but lives on the band, so the rule cannot drift from what it governs.

Transform-only. Skew is compositor work: no layout thrash, no repaint on scroll, and it composes with sticky headers above and below.

Make it yours

  • Change the angle once in --tgx21-angle; skew, counter-skew and clearance follow.
  • Alternate direction per band for a zigzag page rhythm.
  • Keep angles between 2 and 6 degrees — beyond that, counter-skewed text optically drifts.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Every DIRECT child needs the counter-skew; *: handles that automatically, hand-written classes do not.
  • Skew changes painted bounds — derive vertical padding from the same angle or content clips.
  • Focus rings skew with the element, so keep interactive items inside the counter-skewed child.

tan() needs 2023 engines — hardcode the clearance (tan 4° ≈ 0.07) for older targets.
