# KC
Personal blog theme powered by [Hugo](https://gohugo.io).
## Inspired by Minimal
This theme is a fork of the theme "Minimal", created by Calin Tataru.
A live demo is available [here](https://themes.gohugo.io/theme/minimal/).
Full source code is [here](https://github.com/calintat/minimal)
## Installation
You can install the theme either as a clone or submodule.
I recommend the latter. From the root of your Hugo site, type the following:
```
$ git submodule add https://git.stdcall.me/kancer.club/theme.git themes/kc
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
```
Now you can get updates to KC in the future by updating the submodule:
```
$ git submodule update --remote themes/kc
```
## Features
You can tweak the look of the theme to suit your needs in a number of ways:
- The accent colour can be changed by using the `accent` field in `config.toml`.
- You can also change the background colour by using `backgroundColor`.
- Add colored 5px borders at the top and bottom of pages by setting `showBorder` to `true`.
For best results, I recommend you use a dark accent colour with a light background, for example:
```toml
[params]
accent = "red"
showBorder = true
backgroundColor = "white"
```
### Fonts
The theme uses [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com) to load its font. To change the font:
```toml
[params]
font = "Raleway" # should match the name on Google Fonts!
```
### Syntax highlighting
The theme supports syntax highlighting thanks to [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org).
It's disabled by default, so you have to enable it by setting `highlight` to `true` in your config.
You can change the style used for the highlighting by using the `highlightStyle` field.
Only the "common" languages will be loaded by default. To load more, use `highlightLanguages`.
A list of all the available styles and languages can be found [here](https://highlightjs.org/static/demo/).
Please note the style and languages should be written in hyphen-separated lowercase, for example:
```toml
[params]
highlight = true
highlightStyle = "solarized-dark"
highlightLanguages = ["go", "haskell", "kotlin", "scala", "swift"]
```
