Theme submission

Please make sure that you have read the theme submission guidelines before submitting a theme. The guidelines provide all relevant information and requirements that have to be fulfilled before the submission. We strongly suggest that you test your theme with the Hugo Themes Build Script before submitting the theme for review. If a submission does not meet the criteria mentioned in the README it will be closed. You may re-submit once you fix the problems with your submission. However, please note that we have limited resources and can not provide help for general web development issues. For Hugo support questions please refer to the dedicated support forum.

Please tick the relevant boxes for your theme in the checklist below:

Link to my theme repository: https://github.com/vendelin8/hugo-theme-hello-tricolor

I made sure that...

• [x] the repository contains a good README.md describing my theme
• [x] an open source license has been added to LICENSE.md
• [x] all metadata have been added to theme.toml
• [x] screenshots have been added in the images/ folder with the required dimensions
• [x] in case I'm using a customized demo via the exampleSite folder that
  • [x] https://example.com is set as base url in exampleSite/config.{toml, yaml, json} to avoid the abuse of unused domains
  • [x] I tested that my theme's demo works with the content directory of gohugoio/HugoBasicExample
• [x] I tested my theme against the gohugoio/HugoBasicExample
  • [x] I've checked the developer tools' console in my browser for error messages
• [x] in case my theme is using Hugo Pipes features like toCSS and PostCSS that I have committed the /resources directory with all generated assets, for my theme to work in the basic version of Hugo

N.B. By submitting a theme to the Hugo Themes Showcase you understand that you need to maintain your theme. If a theme demo breaks and remains broken then at some point it will be removed from the list without prior warning. If you no longer wish to maintain a theme please let us know.

New themes will usually be promoted on Hugo's official Twitter account. If you would like to be mentioned in the tweet please add your Twitter username to this submission.

Feel free to ask questions. We're glad to help.

Hi @vendelin8, I am sorry, but we can't accept your theme to the directory. It is more or less a copy of the already added Hello Friend Theme that changes only colours and the background image. There are no new features or layouts added and as such it is only a variant of the Hello Friend theme. You could try to add it to the Hello Friend readme as a theme variant with added colours - this way it will still be listed on the theme website? Please understand that we can not add theme variants to the directory that can be achieved by changing some styles in the original theme.
