Custom Theme

[gdsaxton]

I am following the tutorial to create a custom theme: https://wowchemy.com/docs/customization/#custom-theme

My root folder is academic-kickstart-benson/ -- I created a /data/themes/ folder there, pasted in minimalist.toml, renamed it as _minimalistdark.toml, and updated params.toml to reflect the new theme _minimalistdark. This works as long as I do not change minimalist.toml in any way.

What I'm looking to do is change the default from 'light' to 'dark'. I have tried changing 'light = true' to 'light = false' and I've also tried changing the line to 'dark = true.' In either of these cases the deploy through netlify breaks. Any thoughts on what might be happening here?

Thanks in advance for any help on this. I should also say a similar thing happens when I try to modify li_citation.html.

Here is the deploy log from netlify:

<$theme.light.background>: can't evaluate field background in type interface {}

This was fixed. Updating to the latest master version (see docs) should resolve the issue.

Hi,

I was already on 4.8.0. There's not a newer version, is there?

Thanks,

Greg
