Installation

Quick Start

To give you a running start this installation puts a fully configured starter repo into your Git account and sets it up in a content manager / CMS.

Forestry Starter-Kit:

Import this project into Forestry

Standard Installation

To install Hyde as your default theme, first install this repository in the themes/ directory:

$ cd themes/
$ git clone https://github.com/spf13/hyde.git

Second, specify hyde as your default theme in the config.toml file. Just add the line

theme = "hyde"

at the top of the file.

Options

Hyde includes some customizable options, typically applied via classes on the <body> element.

Create a list of nav links in the sidebar by assigning “menu=main” in the front matter, like so:

TOML

theme = "hyde"

[Menus]
  main = [
      {Name = "Github", URL = "https://github.com/username/"},
      {Name = "LinkedIn", URL = "https://www.linkedin.com/in/username/"}
  ]

YAML

theme: "hyde"

Menus:
  main:
    - Name: "Github"
      URL: "https://github.com/username/"
    - Name: "LinkedIn"
      URL: "https://www.linkedin.com/in/username/"

Customise the describe of your page using description, like so:

TOML

theme = "hyde"

[params]
  description = "Your custom description"

YAML

theme: "hyde"

params:
  description = "Your custom description"

Sticky sidebar content

By default Hyde ships with a sidebar that affixes it’s content to the bottom of the sidebar. You can optionally disabled this by removing the .sidebar-sticky class from the sidebar’s .container. Sidebar content will then normally flow from top to bottom.

<!-- Default sidebar -->
<div class="sidebar">
  <div class="container sidebar-sticky">
    ...
  </div>
</div>

<!-- Modified sidebar -->
<div class="sidebar">
  <div class="container">
    ...
  </div>
</div>

Themes

Hyde ships with eight optional themes based on the base16 color scheme. Apply a theme to change the color scheme (mostly applies to sidebar and links).

Hyde in red

There are eight themes available at this time.

Hyde theme classes

To use a theme, add the themeColor variable under params, like so:

TOML

theme = "hyde"

[params]
  themeColor = "theme-base-09"

YAML

theme: "hyde"

params:
  themeColor: "theme-base-09"

To create your own theme, look to the Themes section of included CSS file. Copy any existing theme (they’re only a few lines of CSS), rename it, and change the provided colors.

Reverse layout

Hyde with reverse layout

To reverse page orientation, add the layoutReverse variable under params, like so:

TOML

theme = "hyde"

[params]
  layoutReverse = true

YAML

theme: "hyde"

params:

Disqus

You can optionally enable a comment system powered by Disqus for the posts. Simply add the variable disqusShortname to your config file.

TOML

disqusShortname = "spf13"

YAML
