# HPSTR RDX Jekyll Theme
|
||||
|
||||
Jekyll theme. Documentation soon...
|
||||
They say three times the charm, so here is another free responsive Jekyll theme for you. I've learned a ton since open sourcing my first two themes [on Github](http://github.com/mmistakes), and wanted to try a few new things this time around. If you've used my previous themes most of this should be familiar territory...
|
||||
|
||||
## What HPSTR RDX brings to the table:
|
||||
|
||||
* Responsive templates for post, page, and post index `_layouts`. Looks great on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices.
|
||||
* Gracefully degrads in older browsers. Compatible with Internet Explorer 8+ and all modern browsers.
|
||||
* Modern and minimal design.
|
||||
* Sweet animated menu.
|
||||
* Readable typography to make your words shine.
|
||||
* Support for large images to call out your favorite posts.
|
||||
* Comments powered by [Disqus](http://disqus.com) if you choose to enable.
|
||||
* Simple and clear permalink structure.
|
||||
* [Open Graph](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/) and [Twitter Cards](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards) support for a better social sharing experience.
|
||||
* Simple [custom 404 page]({{ site.url }}/404.html) to get you started.
|
||||
* Stylesheets for Pygments and Coderay [syntax highlighting]({{ site.url }}/code-highlighting-post/) to make your code examples look snazzy
|
||||
* Grunt build script for easy theme development
|
||||

General notes and suggestions for customizing **HPSTR RDX**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Setup for a new Jekyll site
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Install Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) and read through the documentation if you haven't already.
|
||||
2. Fork the [HPSTR RDX repo](https://github.com/mmistakes/hpstr-rdx-theme/fork)
|
||||
3. Clone the repo you just forked to your computer.
|
||||
4. Edit `_config.yml` to personalize your site.
|
||||
5. Check out the sample posts in `_posts` to see examples for pulling in large feature images, tags, and other YAML data.
|
||||
6. Read the documentation below for further customization pointers and documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
### [Download the Theme](https://github.com/mmistakes/hpstr-jekyll-theme)
|
||||
|
||||
**Pro-tip:** Delete the `gh-pages` branch after cloning and start fresh by branching off `master`. There is a bunch of garbage in `gh-pages` used for the theme's demo that I'm guessing you don't want on your site.

## Further Customization
|
||||
## Theme Development
|
||||
|
||||
To make things easier I use LESS to build the theme's stylesheet. If you want to easily skin the colors and fonts, take a look at `variables.less` in `assets/less/`. Just compile `main.less` using your preprocessor of choice and off you go -- I like [CodeKit](http://incident57.com/codekit/) for OS X and [Prepros](http://alphapixels.com/prepros/) for Windows. [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com) and an assortment [Jekyll plugins](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/plugins/) are also an option for converting LESS files into CSS.
|
||||
If you want to easily skin the themes' colors and fonts, take a look at `variables.less` in `assets/less/` and make the necessary changes to the color and font variables. To make development easier I setup a Grunt build script to compile/minify the LESS files into `main.min.css` and lint/concatenate/minify all scripts into `scripts.min.js`. [Install Node.js](http://nodejs.org/), then [install Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started), and then install the dependencies for the theme contained in `package.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight css %}
|
||||
// Colors
|
||||
// --------------------------------------------------
|
||||
@base-font: 'Lato', Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;
|
||||
@heading-font: @base-font;
|
||||
@caption-font: @base-font;
|
||||
@code-font: monospace;
|
||||
@alt-font: serif;
|
||||
|
||||
// Colors
|
||||
// --------------------------------------------------
|
||||
@base-color : #222;
|
||||
@body-color : #e8e8e8;
|
||||
@text-color : #222;
|
||||
@comp-color : spin(@base-color, 180);
|
||||
@border-color : lighten(@base-color,60);
|
||||
@white : #fff;
|
||||
@black : #000;
|
||||
@link-color : #222;
|
||||
|
||||
@primary : @base-color;
|
||||
@success : #5cb85c;
|
||||
@warning : #dd8338;
|
||||
@danger : #C64537;
|
||||
@info : #308cbc;
|
||||
{% highlight bash %}
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
From the theme's root, use `grunt` to rebuild the CSS, concatenate JavaScript files, and optimize .jpg, .png, and .svg files in the `images/` folder. You can also use `grunt watch` in combination with `jekyll build --watch` to watch for updates to your LESS and JS files that Grunt will then automatically re-build as you write your code which will in turn auto-generate your Jekyll site when developing locally.
|
||||
|
||||
And if the command line isn't your thing (you're using Jekyll so it probably is), [CodeKit](http://incident57.com/codekit/) for OS X and [Prepros](http://alphapixels.com/prepros/) for Windows are great alternatives.
