Can someone recommend a bells and whistles CSS framework? [closed]

I am looking for a bells and whistles CSS framework. I have found a number online that deal with "grids", and some that deal with "typography" and others that deal with "resetting".

What I have not found is something that will give my web applications a consistent reusable style or theme.

I guess it would have to have a number of predefined elements that do things, for example:

div.boxed {...}

And then a number of themes or plugins that provide these in a consistent way. Javascript toolkits like ExtJS, YUI, and also GWT have their own skinability, and I guess this is the featureset that I want, but independent of any Javascript library.

(Open source would be best, but we don't mind paying)

Edit: 5 good answers, but I have seen all those frameworks, and they are not enough of what I am looking for. Perhaps what I am looking for doesn't exist. Or I haven't explained properly. I will give them a good going over and see.

Is CSS framework necessary?

CSS frameworks make it simple to create websites compatible with multiple browsers and browser versions. This reduces the likelihood of bugs popping up during cross browser testing. Since these frameworks have ready-to-use stylesheets in place, using them allows faster and more convenient web development.

Which CSS framework is best for beginners?

If you're just starting out with CSS and UI, go for Tacit, Pure, or Skeleton. However, to build more complex elements, you'll need a more inclusive framework like Foundation, Tailwind, or Bootstrap. You can get an easy learning curve through Bulma or Semantic UI.

Can you mix CSS frameworks?

In conclusion: Yes, you will usually find it possible to combine two (or even more) front-end frameworks, but they will likely interfere with another and cause you headaches, and it may lead to an inconsistent design.

Compass really changes things for you.

In addition to providing everything from grids to mixins like horizontal-list, it's built on top of SASS so you get stuff like reuse and variables and other such things.

It makes things you don't even realize are painful pain-free. Definitely worth looking over.

I am a fan of Blue Print CSS, their reset and grids styles are a very good starting point. Especially if you care about having clean html and css.
