original designs.

 * Configure separate values for Mobile, Tablet, Desktop, and Extended screens
 * Set number of columns, gutter width, and outer margin
 * Lightweight and clean — outputs only what’s needed

## Changelog

#### 1.1.0

 * Major improvement: Refactored the frontend grid overlay to use real DOM-based
   columns instead of a repeating background gradient.
 * The new DOM-based method improves alignment accuracy by adjusting for scrollbar
   width differences (using corrected 100vw calculations).
 * This change resolves longstanding inconsistencies when aligning layouts against
   the grid across different browsers and screen sizes.

#### 1.0.0
