Solar Theme for Hugo
A minimalistic theme for Hugo blogs, fork of Solar Theme for Ghost. There is a demo available on Hugos theme list. See the example config.toml for a starting point.
Color schemes
Solar offers three color schemes: (Solarized) light, (Solarized) dark
(default) and gray. Additionally there is a preference setting which
switches between light and dark according to the users preference.
Screenshot
Additional HTML
Custom HTML can be injected just before </head> and </body> by creating a
head.html or foot.html inside the sites layouts/partials/ folder. The
default (empty) logo can be overwritten by creating a logo.svg in
static/img/.
Syntax Highlighting
This theme does not bring a syntax highlighter. If you want to use
Hugos built in one,
remember to update the color scheme by
setting pygmentsStyle. The pygments style
solarized-dark, for example, matches the themes dark color scheme, while
solarized-light matches light and solarized-dark256 works well with
gray.
Otherwise, if you want to use a JavaScript highlighter like
highlight.js, the necessary JavaScript can be placed
inside static/ and get included by providing a footer.html as described
above.
