New theme - TOC, drop down menu, dark mode etc

hello all
I’ve been developing a new theme - I’ve used a minimal set of dependencies and (I hope) created some reasonably easy to follow css combined with a simple semantic html layout.

The front page layouts are based on the Source theme.

The theme is published with a MIT license which means you are free to use, copy and change it if you like:

see the releases tab for the latest version.

you can see it in action on my blog https://smallworkshop.co.uk/

Note I still have a bit of work to do, particularly on multi-author support and paid subscription tiers. All feedback and suggestions gratefully received.

Nice work @NickAbs! Your theme has a pleasantly handcrafted aesthetic that I like a lot.

thanks, I’ve just added a new option to select between a couple of different header styles. If the error is still there in the new version and you don’t mind supplying a bit more details about the problem here, I’ll do my best to fix it.

now with

  • support for new Ghost tip jar feature (option to include tip jar/donation request banner on posts)
  • new footer options
  • improved newsletter banner options

new version below, the main change is the inclusion of an improved enrolment banner.

My main goal was to cater for un-monetised blogs where there are no subscription tiers, but you would still like people to sign-up so they can comment.

For monetised sites, there are options to show a newsletter subscription form and/or a “subscribe” button on the banner.

For a free blog you can use the newsletter-only option. If you do this, there is a separate option to hide the standard portal “subscribe” CTA that shows on the comment section to avoid confusion.

I also added a pop-up for newsletter subscribers to remind them to check their inbox (similar to what you get when using the standard Ghost #portal/sign-in feature).

this is how it looks on my un-monetised blog
