If your body element is not implemented within a component, you should
use a CSS file with traditional CSS resets.

Hey @Sharathjonnala2003. In case you still need help, you can accomplish this by adding a @layer directive in your root css file. As @nmn mentioned, it would serve as a css 'reset'. Here's a practical implementation that would work in any React app framework.
@stylex stylesheet;
@layer base {
body {
margin: 0,
padding: 0,
}
}What this does, is it adds a CSS Layer which contains rules you want in the order you want them to take place. By having @layer base first, this will apply to all styles from that point forward. Other common layers may be: @layer theme {
/* your app or brand theme */
}
@layer utils {
/* common utility classes you want to reuse */
}Hope this helps! Happy coding :) |

@r11234 CSS layers are not required. You can configure the various bundler plugins to generate layers or not. If you opt-out of CSS Layers, we use CSS selector specificity bumping instead, which is a how lightningcss/postcss would polyfill layers. This means that in either case, you have to be a bit careful about the specificity of your styles.

@addictionai The one thing to be careful about is that CSS Layers are order dependent so ensure that the StyleX styles are injected after your base styles. |

Is it possible to set const styles = stylex.create({
html: {
'::selection': {
color: 'pink',
backgroundColor: 'black',
}
},
}); |

This should work. Got more details or a repro for me? A minimal repro with no other styles might help see what CSS is generated. Was Update: I did a quick test to see what was happening and I see the correct CSS is generated and applied but the styling isn't taking effect. This might be an unrelated quirk of CSS, but let me see how to do this right. Update 2: Various HTML elements like This is probably why If, however, you're trying to override |

This means that it is impossible to use a color variable defined by StyleX, which isn't ideal from a design system point of view |

One way around this is to assign a custom property to ::selection {
