The theme installs a few additional components. Some need adjustments on their settings to tweak the theme look:
Dark/Light Toggle
For the toggle to work, you should set the Light color scheme on the theme settings. And pick the Dark color scheme in general settings (default dark mode color scheme id).
You can choose to show the toggle icon on the header. By default it shows on the sidebar footer.
Rounded
A style component to round layout elements. On my preview site, the default radius is set to 10px and button radius to 4px.
Panels
Another style component to render list containers as panels. The theme has a shadow style for the panels defined, you can enable it using this --shadow variable:
You also have to set Top Topics as your homepage. Your homepage is set to the categories list. That’s because this theme setting only shows the pinboard lists and hides the content below. That only works on the top route. We can replace top topics with a pinboard list of top topics if needed. We typically need the categories list or latest topics for the forum to work.
You set the top page to be your home page by making it the first item of the top menu list in your admin settings:
Yes, these items are hidden. I’m opinionated about it on this theme because Latest/New/Unread are already available from the sidebar and Top is used for the landing page.
If you want to use the theme and have those items on the navbar, you’d need to override the style declarations of the theme manually.
I don’t see Latest/New/Unread in the sidebar, either on my instance of the theme, or the test site, or the screenshots in this post. Can you point me in the right direction?
Latest is called Everything on the sidebar by default. On my screenshots it’s named All.
But yes, it’s true that Unread and New don’t show on the sidebar now. I thought they showed there just as they had before on the hamburger dropdown. Maybe I remember wrong or it has been changed. There’s still constant updates to the sidebar.
The contextual info about new content on the sidebar are notification dots following all menu items that hold new content for the logged-in user:
Screenshot is from a laptop 15 inches - It seems out of proportions ?
Have you considered a tabbed solution in stead of displaying the categories in boxes in list-format - i.e. “feedback” would be a tab next to “Welcome to Pinboard” ?
I just pushed a refactor of this theme. There’s only subtle changes on the UI, but the theme code is re-organized and includes a few new components.
If you installed the theme before, you will need to re-adjust components and any style declarations you did on top of it. In case you don’t want to do this right now, you can also pull the theme from it’s v1-branch and stay with the previous setup:
For reference here are the post-install details for v1:
Theme Features
Use with categories or with tags only
You can hide tags or categories from the interface and use only either one.
Custom landing page
You can build a custom landing page similar to the one on the previews.
