New blog theme
Despite telling myself I would only update my website theme once a year, tonight I decided to throw that rule out the window and give it a new look.
Gone are the hand-drawn-style dividers and the Kagi-inspired black, white, and gold theme, to be replaced by a Rosepine theme featuring earthy tones. Very apt now that we are coming into summer here in the UK.
I have made a bit more use of a card design for the website’s images, blogroll and reading pages.
For fonts, I am using Lora for body text and Fraunces for headings. I quite like to split my font selection this way.
To make future changes to the colour scheme, I have set up five CSS variables that represent the theme’s main colours. Any other colours are derived from these five variables using the color-mix function.
I definitely scratched an itch with this one, as I felt the previous theme was too stark and lacked some warmth. I’ve found it in this colour selection and by changing the fonts the website uses.
