Tutorials

This page provides an overview of all customisation options. For step-by-step help on how to customise specific elements of the theme, please see the tutorials below:

Features

OVERALL

  • Choose a main accent colour that is seen throughout the theme.
  • Customised scrollbar, text highlight, hover tooltips. You can edit the bold, italic, and linked text formatting.
  • Icons throughout the theme: iconsax, cappuccicons (permalink), feather icons (audio posts).

HEADER

  • Choose to have a full-width, half-width, or no header at all.
  • Headers automatically fill the width set, and heights can be adjusted to small (200px), medium (350px), or large (500px).
  • Header can have a straight bottom cut-off, or a faded gradient cut-off.

BLOG NAVIGATION

  • Choose to have a fixed full-width top bar navigation, or a sticky navigation which sticks to the top of the screen once you scroll past it.
  • Sticky navigation can be either full-width or half-width. The width automatically adjusts to the width of your content (sidebar + posts).
  • Shows your avatar and blog title on the right.
  • The text of the blog navigation links can be edited; e.g, you can change “index” to say “home”, “refresh” or whatever you would like.
  • Search bar can be enabled to appear with your blog navigation links.
  • Small slashes separate your blog navigation links and searchbar. These can be removed if desired. The spacing between the links can also be adjusted.

SIDEBAR

  • Sidebar sticks to the top below your navigation once you scroll down.
  • Position can be adjusted to be on the left or the right of posts.
  • Sidebar image can be either an icon + short title, or a normal-sized image. Box shadow can be added for extra colour.
  • Description has a title which you can edit. Text styling of your description is supported.
  • Up to 8 custom links. These are non-built-in and must be manually added because of the added icon customisation. Tutorial here.

POSTS & CONTENT

  • All post sizes supported: 250px / 400px / 500px / 700px.
  • You can have one column, two columns, or three columns of posts. However, some content widths (e.g, three columns of 500px posts) may be too wide and get cut off on normal screen sizes. If such a combination is selected, a pop-up will appear to advise you.
  • Pinned post label.
  • Tags can be always shown, appear on toggle, or hidden from your blog index. They will always appear in your permalink page.
  • Every post type is uniquely styled. Album arts are visible on audio posts, and chat posts are styled as chat log messages.
  • Tag pages and search pages have an additional styled header.

Invalid Blog Layout

Sticky (full) Navigation + No Header is not supported on this theme.

Please select Fixed (full) Navigation instead for the same layout, or choose a different navigation style, or a different header width.
Invalid Blog Layout

Sticky (full) Navigation + Half Header Width is not supported on this theme, because it would look really ugly. Trust me on this one.

Please select a different navigation style, or a different header width.
Invalid Post Content Set-up

You have chosen a combination of post size & number of columns that exceeds 1000px width, and is unlikely to show up well on most people's screens. These are the recommended combinations of options:

Please select a smaller post size, or lower number of post columns.
