Free Theme

I wrote this on HostBalls yesterday:


Intro

Hey Hostball(ers),

I'm not sure if this should be in the "Free Shit" thread, but I've created another theme (as I do every year!) for y'all to use:

http://projects-secondary.dawgy.pw/simpleHosting/

The icons are fully custom (ie. I designed them) and there are a few extras included should you require them. The map is animated as well and is fully responsive.

Installation of the theme

The first thing you'll need to do is download the theme. Once you've done so, extract it in your web directory.

Now you’ll need to edit subscribe.php for the newsletter subscription to work. It is only compatible with MailChimp. Modify the following variables:

$api_key = '';
$list_id = '';
$datacentre = '';

Fill them with your API credentials for MailChimp.

We will now need to configure lg.html to work. In order to do so, head into /assets/site.min.js. You will need https://github.com/telephone/LookingGlass installed on your testing server.

Edit the following line:

var lgUrl = "http://google.com/ajax.php"; // don't include the final '/'

Modify http://google.com/ to your LookingGlass installation.

Now that all the built-in options are configured, you can proceed to modify the text on the page. Do whatever you want -- redistributing and using this theme for commercial purposes is fine. The only restriction is re-selling the theme (who would re-sell a free theme anyway?).

Extras

If you like my work and want to buy me a coffee, feel free to do so -- designing icons and creating these templates take time to do.

PayPal address is: [email protected] ;)



Sincerely,

dawgy / Aaron


Hope y’all enjoy!

    You might want to rename that; for some reason Chrome is very unhappy with 'theme.zip'. FWIW, I have no use for this, but it looks good, and certainly gives a nice change to every other cookie-cutter design out there. Thanks for the freebie.

  • Excellent choice of colors.

    Darn — I’ll rename it when I get home. Thanks for the feedback though — I really appreciate it :)

    The colors and composition are niceness.

  • @doghouch any chance of likewise theme for WordPress? Or HTML template?

    Maybe in the future — WordPress takes significantly more work to integrate with on top of the actual design :/

    I’ll try to work on a port for WordPress though!

    Thank you. It's a very nice looking theme. I like the color combination, the icons, and its simplicity. Wordpres is also a better option for people like me.

    if they're too lazy to take something free and make it work with their software, they don't deserve it. They can go get fucked.

  • Fonts should have been better but excellent work ! €¥£¢0$

    Originally paid for Proxima Nova but I don’t feel like giving out free font licenses :]

    (I ended up switching the fonts to a free alternative.)

  • I like Gotham Book but I have no idea if it is free.
