Overview:

Hyde-hyde is a theme for the Hugo static site generator, inspired by the Hyde theme by @spf13 and Nate Finch’s blog. It has recently undergone a major overhaul with version 2.0, bringing new features and improvements to the theme.

Features:

  • SCSS Styling: The main styles of hyde-hyde have been refactored and developed using SCSS, eliminating the need for the poole.css and hyde.css files.
  • Modular Layouts: The layouts of the theme have been heavily restructured and modularized, making it easier to customize and extend.
  • Portfolio Page: Hyde-hyde now includes a “Portfolio” page, inspired by Xiaoying Riley’s Developer-Theme.
  • System Fonts: The theme now uses system fonts instead of web fonts, addressing privacy concerns.
  • Collapsible Menu: A collapsible menu in mobile mode has been added to improve user experience.
  • Table of Contents: The theme provides options to configure the table of contents using either Hugo’s built-in {{/* .TableOfContents */}} or the Tocbot library.
  • Highlight.js Support: Hyde-hyde offers the option to use the highlight.js library for code highlighting instead of Hugo’s built-in support.
  • Related Posts: The theme allows for the display of related posts.

Installation:

To install Hyde-hyde as a Hugo theme, follow these steps:

  1. Download the theme to the themes directory of your Hugo site.
  2. Open your site’s configuration file (config.toml or config.yaml) and set theme = "hyde-hyde".
  3. That’s it! You can now render your site using Hugo and see the Hyde-hyde theme in action.
