Customization

CSS Customization

You can customize the theme’s appearance by creating a custom CSS file:

  1. Create assets/css/custom.css in your site
  2. Add your custom styles
  3. The theme will automatically include your custom CSS
  4. You may take a look at _root.css for existing theme values and variables

If a css file starts with an undescore (_), it will be bundled with the theme default ones, which may affect caching behavior!

Layout Customization

The theme’s templates can be overridden by creating corresponding files in your site’s layouts directory.
