Hello, thanks for bautiful theme i've fallen in love at the first glance!

I'm looking for an advice how can I do the following:

  1. make dark theme to be default
  2. changing the default pagination to 12

Sorry for newbi questions. I tried config.toml pagination parameter, it did not work.

Another question is if it's possible to have drop down menu items?

The following does not work:

[[languages.en.menu.main]]
        identifier = "personal"
        name = "Personal"
        weight = 2
        hasChildren = true

    [[languages.en.menu.main]]
        parent = "personal"
        name = "Horoscope"
        url = "page/personal/"
        weight = 3

    [[languages.en.menu.main]]
        parent = "personal"
        name = "Health"
        url = "page/health/"
        weight = 4

to make the default theme dark

  1. copy ./themes/blist/layouts/_default/baseof.html to ./layouts/_default/baseof.html
  • create the ./layouts/_default directory is it does not exist
  1. add class="dark" to the <html> tag of ./layouts/_default/baseof.html
  • the new file should look some thing like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="dark" lang="{{ .Lang }}" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage">
  {{- partial "head.html" . -}}
  <body class="dark:bg-gray-800 dark:text-white relative flex flex-col min-h-screen">
    {{- partial "header.html" . -}}
    <main class="flex-1">
    {{- block "main" . }}{{- end }}
    </main>
    {{- partial "footer.html" . -}}
  </body>
</html>

Thanks for the advice.
It would be great to add a config setting to switch between defaults.

i can add a config option to make the default theme dark, but i don't think it's a use full feature

I think config option would be useful.
I don't think switch button on the UI is very obvious for usual users; that's programmers who are accustomed to switch theme colors in their IDEs but usual internet users, who read news, for example, seldom switch news site themes.

to implement this feature:

  1. go to the root directory of your website

  2. copy themes/blist/layouts/_default/baseof.html to layouts/_default/baseof.html

NOTE: Create the directory layouts/_default if it does not exist

  1. add this line inside the <html> tag of the baseof.html file
{{ if .Site.Params.defaultThemeDark }}class="dark"{{ end }}

the new file should look something like this:

<html {{ if .Site.Params.defaultThemeDark }}class="dark"{{ end }} lang="{{ .Lang }}" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage">
  {{- partial "head.html" . -}}
  <body class="dark:bg-gray-800 dark:text-white relative flex flex-col min-h-screen">
    {{- partial "header.html" . -}}
    <main class="flex-1">
    {{- block "main" . }}{{- end }}
    </main>
    {{- partial "footer.html" . -}}
  </body>
</html>
  1. and finally add defaultThemeDark = true under [params] in the config.toml
[params]
  defaultThemeDark = true

Thanks for the solution.
If I already caught you attention, can you advice about this issue:
#113

Adding links to the posts with the same tags are of huge importance for user experience. The user should not go back to the front page but can follow the post of the same theme from the page she's on.

Hi all, the modifications above are not really a dark default where the end user can change to light. He can, but next time he opens the site, it will start in dark mode again.
Adding the dark class to the header is not the best solution. Better is to reverse the default in the script in the footer.

//  if (!darkStorage && isBrowserDark) {
//    document.documentElement.classList.add('dark');
//  }
//
//  if (darkStorage && darkStorage === 'dark') {
//    toggleDarkMode();
//  }

// Reversed logic: default to dark unless light mode is explicitly saved
  if (!darkStorage && !isBrowserDark) {
    document.documentElement.classList.remove('dark');
  } else {
    if (darkStorage && darkStorage === 'light') {
      document.documentElement.classList.remove('dark');
    } else {
      toggleDarkMode();
    }
  }
