🦄 Usage with custom PX - REM unit

Sometimes, you may want to set the default rem unit to 10rem/1px (or any value at all) by adding font-size: 10px (or some kind of viewport based value) to the html tag in order to simplify rem/px unit conversion. This will cause a lot of problems with third party components but don't worry, insect got you!

Just add the following css variable to your main stylesheet and insect will adapt to your new unit.

:root {
  --insect-rem: 10 !important;
}
