Jek

Jek is a minimalist Jekyll theme putting the power of color schemes in the user’s hands. Toggle between schemes hassle-free, create new ones on the go, and store settings in-browser.

Check out the Demo site, deployed and hosted on Netlify.

Warning - this theme requires Jekyll 4 and so will not work on GitHub Pages (with Jekyll 3), unless you add a custom CI flow using GitHub Actions.

💡 All About The Theme

Theme settings are saved in session and local storage. Toggling light/dark mode or choosing a random palette saves settings for only the current session. Clicking the save button adds the theme to local storage for future visits.

🛠️ Installation

It’s recommended to install Jek by cloning the repository. Installation with Gem’s will be supported in a future release.

👩‍🚀 Add New Themes

Adding new themes to your new jek site could not be easier. Just pick a background color and text color and add them to your main.css. Once you’re done, add your theme to _data/themes.yaml. Check out colorhunt for inspiration.

1. Add a new scheme to your main.css with background-color and color set.

   .mytheme {
     background-color: #0a1d37;
     color: #ffeedb;
   }
   

2. Add a color scheme name to your _data/themes.yaml.

   - name: mytheme
     enabled: true
