How it works:

  1. Get your location (latitude, longitude) via HTML5 Geolocation API
  2. Find sun states for location via SunCalc js
  3. Calculate closest sun state for current time
  4. Add CSS class on any element based on closest sun state
  5. Use localStorage to prevent page flickering while navigating or reloading

How to use it:

  1. Include jQuery
  2. Include SunCalc js
  3. Include flucss.js and flucss.css from GitHub
  4. Call $("html").flucss(); // for any element you want, mostly you want html or body

Colors are modeled by dividing sun states into 4 groups — but you can add more variation if you need.
