Camino Beta

A simple, Apple-inspired KISS theme for Jekyll.

Camino is a Jekyll theme I have created for my own personal website. Camino is a simple, KISS theme for Jekyll that mostly takes inspiration from Apple's interface designs and supports dark mode, as well as the dark-mode-toggle utility provided by the Chrome developers.

Camino includes, but is not limited to, the following features:

• Custom accent colors
• Dark mode functionality (and toggle)
• Special document and post layouts for blogs and articles
• Responsive behavior

Usage

In your _config.yml, add the following line:

remote_theme: alicerunsonfedora/camino

Example _config.yml

  # page. For example, 'wrt181-assignment1.png'

  # This path will point to images used for covers on posts. Camino will look in this path

    # over the standard Inter font, but Inter will be provided when this font cannot
    # be loaded.

    # The background color of the navbar.

    # respectively. The standard and highlight entries control the idle and hover states.

        standard: "rgb(255, 149, 0)"
