Configuration

You can (and should) modify a couple of settings. An overview of all settings can be found in _config.yml. The most important ones are discussed below.

There are two possible methods to override the defaults. As a first option, you could fork the theme and maintain a custom branch with your settings. Alternatively, you can configure it from your site's primary configuration file. Therefore, define your custom settings under the theme_config variable. For example:

# _config.yml
theme_config:
  colorscheme: white
# themes/cactus/_config.yml
colorscheme: dark

This will override the default black colorscheme in themes/cactus/_config.yml.

Color scheme

Currently, this theme is delivered with four color schemes: dark, light, white and classic. Set your preferred color scheme in the _config.yml file.

colorscheme: light

Alternatively, you can easily create your own color scheme by creating a new file in source/css/_colors.

Navigation

Setup the navigation menu in the _config.yml:

nav:
  Home: /
  About: /about/
  Writing: /archives/
  Projects: http://github.com/probberechts
  LINK_NAME: URL

Blog posts list on home page

You have two options for the list of blog posts on the home page:

  • Show only the 5 most recent posts (default)

    posts_overview:
      show_all_posts: false
      post_count: 5
  • Show all posts

    posts_overview:
      show_all_posts: true

Projects list

Create a projects file source/_data/projects.json to show a list of your projects on the index page.

[
    {
       "name":"Hexo",
       "url":"https://hexo.io/",
       "desc":"A fast, simple & powerful blog framework"
    },
    {
       "name":"Font Awesome",
       "url":"http://fontawesome.io/",
       "desc":"The iconic font and CSS toolkit"
    }
]

Social media links

Cactus can automatically add links to your social media accounts. Therefore, update the theme's _config.yml:

social_links:
  github: your-github-url
  twitter: your-twitter-url
  NAME: your-NAME-url

where NAME is the name of a Font Awesome icon.

Copyright years
