risotto is a minimalist, responsive hugo theme inspired by terminal ricing aesthetics.
Install
The easiest way to install the theme is to clone this repository into your site’s themes directory:
git clone https://github.com/joeroe/risotto themes/risotto
If your site is already a git repository, you can add the theme as a submodule instead:
git submodule add https://github.com/joeroe/risotto.git themes/risotto
Update
If you installed the theme using git clone, pull the repository to get the latest version:
cd themes/risotto
git pull
Or, if you added it as a git submodule:
git submodule update --remote
Configure
To use the theme, add theme = 'risotto' to your site’s config.toml, or theme: risotto to your config.yaml respectively.
See exampleSite/config.toml for the theme-specific parameters you need to add to your site’s config.toml or config.yaml to configure the theme.
Colour palettes
risotto uses the base16 framework to define colour schemes that can be used with the theme.palette parameter.
A selection of 16 palettes (10 dark, 6 light) are bundled with the theme: apprentice, base16-dark, base16-light, dracula, gruvbox-dark, gruvbox-light, material, papercolor-dark, papercolor-light, solarized-dark, solarized-light, tender, tokyo-night-dark, tokyo-night-light, windows-95 and windows-95-light.
The default is base16-dark.
The easiest way to use other base16 styles is to place .css file from https://github.com/monicfenga/base16-styles/tree/master/css-variables and place it in your static/css/palettes directory.
Or to define a wholly custom theme, you will need to define the following CSS variables for the following base16 colours (see base16-dark.css for an example):
| Base | Default colour | Used for | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00 | Dark | Background | Page background |
| 01 | │ | Alt. background | Content background |
| 02 | │ | In-text backgrounds | <pre>, <code>, <kbd>, <samp> |
| 03 | │ | Muted text | :before & :marker symbols |
| 04 | │ | Alt. foreground | Aside text |
| 05 | │ | Foreground | Content text |
| 06 | │ | ||
| 07 | Light | ||
| 08 | Red | ||
| 09 | Orange | ||
| 0A | Yellow | Highlights | Selected text, <mark> |
| 0B | Green | Primary accent | Logo |
| 0C | Cyan | Active links | a:active, a:hover |
| 0D | Blue | Links | a:link, a:visited |
| 0E | Magenta | ||
| 0F | Brown |
For light mode palettes, the sequence of 00–07 should be reversed (light to dark, not dark to light). Note that not all colours are currently used in the theme.
Favicon
risotto will automatically use favicons placed in the static/ directory.
The following files will be detected and included in your site’s <head> section:
favicon.icofavicon-16x16.pngfavicon-32x32.pngapple-touch-icon.pngsite.webmanifest
You can generate these from an image or emoji using favicon.io or a similar service.
They must be placed directly under your site’s static/ directory, i.e. not in in a subdirectory or themes/risotto/static/.
