Themes

Statik supports themes as of v0.11.0.

There are several reasons as to why you'd want to have multiple themes in your project. Perhaps you're upgrading the look/feel of your site, and you want to experiment with a new look while still keeping the ability to roll back to an old look. Perhaps you've got several themes and want to test out what your site looks like with each theme for the best feel. Whatever your reason, Statik now supports this.

Adding Themes

To add themes to your project, simply create a themes folder in your project's folder and add each theme in its own folder. It's generally a good idea to call your themes' subfolders by simple names, like mytheme1 or flaming-lamborghini (lowercase, skewered names). Each of these folders needs an assets and templates folder, because those are the only two things that should change as you vary your look/feel. Your folder layout of your themes folder should look something like the following:

themes/                              - Folder containing all your themes
themes/mytheme1                      - Base folder for the "mytheme1" theme
themes/mytheme1/assets               - Assets for the project when using the "mytheme1" theme
themes/mytheme1/templates            - Templates for mytheme1
themes/flaming-lamborghini           - Base folder for the "flaming-lamborghini" theme
themes/flaming-lamborghini/assets    - Assets for the project when using the "flaming-lamborghini" theme
themes/flaming-lamborghini/templates - Templates for flaming-lamborghini

Then, in your config.yml file, make sure you specify which theme to use or your themes folder will be completely ignored:

project-name: My Project
base-path: /
theme: flaming-lamborghini

Note that if you specify a theme, all assets and templates in the project's base assets and templates folders will be ignored.

Non-Themed Use

Statik will continue to work as it used to. Specifically, if no theme parameter is supplied in your config.yml file, Statik will look to your project's base assets and templates folders for static files and templates.
