Best of both worlds: hyde + zen = hybrid

encarsia commented 5 years ago

Hello there,

after having fiddled around with the zen themes but also liking the clean looks of hyde I am finally using a mixture of both as a hyde variant for my personal site:

From the zen(-forkawesome) theme it features ForkAwesome font icons, fancydates and post header information (date/author/translations/comment status).
Subthemes: hyde color or custom schemes are supported.
Sidebar options are extended:
- navigation links can be text only (hyde) or icon only (zen) or combined
- turn blog title and description in navigation bar on (hyde) or off (zen)

So I hope this meets your requirements for a theme variant, details on usage are provided in the README and conf.py.sample.

An open question for me: As I am using Nikola v8 I put this theme in the corresponding theme folder. The hyde theme is located in the v7 folder but it works normal with v8. What are the criteria for a theme to be stored here or there?

Regards,

Themes in the v7/ directory might not be fully compatible with v8 and they might need porting, mainly with math, baguetteBox, and other scripts.

Is there anything else I can do here?

I slightly modernized hyde for v8, added gallery support to both hyde and hybrid, and published the themes to themes.getnikola.com. Thanks!
