Instructions

1. Download this theme
2. Log into Ghost, and go to the Design settings area to upload the zip file

White Logo

If your logo image isn't recognizable in dark mode, you can set a white version of the logo in Code injection > Site Header field.

<script>
    var gh_white_logo = 'https://example.com/content/images/white-logo.png';
</script>

Dropdown Menu

The theme looks for a menu item with three dots (...) in its URL, and uses that as a dropdown menu toggle. All menu items after the toggle will be added to the dropdown list automatically.

Label	URL
More links	https://example.com/...
Sub-1	https://example.com/sub-1
Sub-2	https://example.com/sub-2

Development

Styles are compiled using Gulp/PostCSS to polyfill future CSS spec. You'll need Node, Yarn and Gulp installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:

# Install
yarn

# Run build & watch for changes
$ yarn dev

Now you can edit /assets/css/ files, which will be compiled to /assets/built/ automatically.

The zip Gulp task packages the theme files into dist/<theme-name>.zip, which you can then upload to your site.

yarn zip
