Hyperlink design choices are too subtle #27

Open hoj201 opened 4 years ago

hoj201 commented 4 years ago

I'm using this theme for my own blog* and I feel like the hyperlinks blend with the text way too seamlessly in the black-theme. The text is black on white background, and the hyperlinks are black text with a dotted underline. It would be nice if the reader had a clearer signal that there were links (e.g. by being navy blue or something). I know it would detract from the look slightly, but it would be more functional for us bloggers.

*Credit yourself in the footer. This theme is beautiful, and I'm sure some people will want to see who designed it.

I agree with this comment and actually I would like to know how to edit it?

Also, I would like to know how to change the size of the title to make it a bit smaller?

Thanks in advance!

@hoj201 Regarding the hyperlink color, you should modify parameters for a tag which you can find in _sass/_base.scss:

a {
  color: $color-primary-link;
  text-decoration: none;
}

@vmmunoza I agree that the default title font size is unreasonably huge. You can set like $h0-desktop: 72px; in _sass/_variables.scss.

@vmmunoza Finally, I found the best solution here jekyllrb.com:

  1. cd /path/to/your/repo/_layouts/
  2. cp $(bundle info swiss --path)/_layouts/post.html ./
  3. cp $(bundle info swiss --path)/_layouts/category-post.html
  4. change line 5 to <h1 class="col-9 sm-width-full py-4 mt-3 inline-block" itemprop="name headline">{{ page.title }}</h1>
  5. run bundle exec jekyll serve
