Made by Acris with ❤️

Features

• Clean Aesthetics: Minimalist design with focus on typography and readability.
• Responsive: Fully responsive design for mobile and desktop.
• Tailwind CSS: Modern utility-first CSS framework.
• Multi-language: Supports English, Simplified Chinese (zh-CN), Traditional Chinese (zh-TW), Japanese (ja-JP), and French (fr).
• Fast: Optimized for performance with minimal Javascript.

Installation

1. Clone the repository into your Hexo theme directory:

   git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Acris/hexo-theme-shiro.git themes/shiro

2. Enable the theme in your Hexo root _config.yml:

   theme: shiro

3. Create a dedicated theme config file _config.shiro.yml in your site root (Supported since Hexo 5.0.0). This file will have higher priority than the theme's default config.

Configuration

Copy the content from themes/shiro/_config.yml to _config.shiro.yml in your site root.

Creating Pages (Tags & Categories)

Since Hexo does not generate 'all tags' or 'all categories' pages by default, you need to create them manually if you wish to use them in the menu.

1. Create the pages:

   hexo new page tags
   hexo new page categories

2. Modify source/tags/index.md:

   ---
   title: Tags
   layout: tag
   ---

3. Modify source/categories/index.md:

   ---
   title: Categories
   layout: category
   ---

Development

If you want to modify the theme source code or contribute:

1. Install dependencies in the theme directory:

   cd themes/shiro
   npm install

2. Watch for CSS changes during development:

   npm run dev

3. Build CSS (Tailwind):

   npm run build
