Header Covers

To define custom header cover, set the property HEADER_COVER in pelicanconf.py:

HEADER_COVER = 'static/my_image.png'

Social URLs

Github, Twitter and Facebook URLs set these properties:

SOCIAL = (('twitter', 'https://twitter.com/myprofile'),
          ('github', 'https://github.com/myprofile'),
          ('facebook','https://facebook.com/myprofile'),
          ('flickr','https://www.flickr.com/myprofile/'),
          ('envelope','mailto:my@mail.address'))

If you have new links add them to SOCIAL. The Name has to be the name of the corresponding FontAwesome icon.

Code highlights

This theme contains this color schemes:

• Tomorrow - tomorrow.css;
• Tomorrow Night - tomorrow_night.css;
• Monokai - monokai.css;
• Github - github.css;
• Darkly (Default) - darkly.css;

To customize, define COLOR_SCHEME_CSS in pelicanconf.py with css filename. Example:

COLOR_SCHEME_CSS = 'monokai.css'

User defined CSS

Define CSS_OVERRIDE in pelicanconf.py to insert a user defined CSS file after theme CSS. Example:

CSS_OVERRIDE = 'myblog.css'

Disable theme JavaScript

Set DISABLE_CUSTOM_THEME_JAVASCRIPT to True if you want to disable js/clean-blog.min.js in case it affects forms and input fields.

User defined footer

Define FOOTER_INCLUDE in pelicanconf.py to insert a custom footer text instead the default "Powered by Pelican". The value is a template path. You also need to define the EXTRA_TEMPLATES_PATHS setting. Example:

FOOTER_INCLUDE = 'myfooter.html'
EXTRA_TEMPLATES_PATHS = [os.path.dirname(__file__)]

WARNING: avoid using names which duplicate existing templates from the theme directory, for example footer.html. Due to how Pelican searches the template directories it will first find the files in the theme directory and you will not see the desired results.
