+title: Transform - Detransform
+tags: visual, beginner
+---
+
+Sets a transform on the parent element and de-transforms the child elements, so they are not affected by the transform.
+This allows for some neat effects such as skewed buttons.
+
+```html
+<div class="parent"><div class="child">Child content</div></div>
+```
+
+```css
+:root {
+  --transform: 10deg;
+}
+
+.parent {
+  transform: skewX(var(--transform));
+  padding: 1rem;
+  border: 1px solid;
+  display: inline-block;
+}
+
+.child {
+  transform: skewX(calc(-1 * var(--transform)));
+}
+```
+
+#### Explanation
+
+- `--transform: 10deg` sets a CSS variable we can later use to prevent duplicate code.
+- `calc(-1 * var(--transform))` on the child element negates the transform from the parent.
+
+- Note: the `display` property of the child element may not be `inline`, otherwise the transform will be ignored ([see also](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-transforms-1/#terminology)).
