Boron is a no-fuss, simple and clean theme. Borders and lines keep things in order, while four accent bursts of colours bring in sparks of life. With a single click, the sidebar transforms into an about page for you to showcase everything visitors need to know about you.
Features
OVERALL
- Choose four accent colours! These will be seen all around the theme.
- Customised scrollbar, text highlight, hover tooltips.
- You can edit the bold, italic, and linked text formatting.
- Beautiful cappuccicons and feather icons.
- Tumblr Controls can be black, grey, or white.
SIDEBAR + USER PROFILE
- The sidebar vertically-centres itself on the page, and the height of the slide-out biography page adapts to the height of the content (Sidebar image + Description).
- Upload a sidebar image with 180px width. Image will be resized.
- Choose between adding a search bar or a short scrolling update space in your sidebar (to the right of the navigation icons).
- The three sidebar navigation icons can be changed! I’ve provided 10 index navicons, 5 ask navicons, and 17 user info navicon choices. You can also manually edit them, choosing from the many feather icons.
- Clicking on the “user info” navicon will slide out the user profile. This user profile adds a customisable space to showcase your name, pronouns (or any subtitle you want), social media, biography, and custom links. It’s a built-in about page.
- Limitless built-in custom links. I recommend adding them in multiples of three so it looks good on the user profile tab.
