**Hugo-theme-relearn** has been built to be as configurable as possible by defining multiple [partials](https://gohugo.io/templates/partials/)
In `themes/hugo-theme-relearn/layouts/partials/`, you will find all the partials defined for this theme. If you need to overwrite something, don't change the code directly. Instead [follow this page](https://gohugo.io/themes/customizing/). You'd create a new partial in the `layouts/partials` folder of your local project. This partial will have the priority.
This theme defines the following partials :
- *header*: the header of the content page (contains the breadcrumbs). _Not meant to be overwritten_
- *custom-header*: custom headers in page. Meant to be overwritten when adding CSS imports. Don't forget to include `style` HTML tag directive in your file
- *footer*: the footer of the content page (contains the arrows). _Not meant to be overwritten_
- *custom-footer*: custom footer in page. Meant to be overwritten when adding Javacript. Don't forget to include `javascript` HTML tag directive in your file
- *favicon*: the favicon
- *logo*: the logo, on top left hand corner.
- *meta*: HTML meta tags, if you want to change default behavior
- *menu*: left menu. _Not meant to be overwritten_
- *menu-footer*: footer of the the left menu
- *search*: search box
- *toc*: table of contents
## Change the logo
Create a new file in `layouts/partials/` named `logo.html`. Then write any HTML you want.
You could use an `img` HTML tag and reference an image created under the *static* folder, or you could paste a SVG definition !
{{% notice note %}}
The size of the logo will adapt automatically
{{% /notice %}}
## Change the favicon
If your favicon is a png, just drop off your image in your local `static/images/` folder and name it `favicon.png`
If you need to change this default behavior, create a new file in `layouts/partials/` named `favicon.html`. Then write something like this:
```html
```
## Change default colors {#theme-variant}
**Hugo Relearn theme** let you choose between some predefined color scheme variants, but feel free to add one yourself!
### Standard variant
```toml
[params]
# Change default color scheme with a variant one. Can be empty, "red", "blue", "green".
themeVariant = ""
```
### Red variant
```toml
[params]
# Change default color scheme with a variant one. Can be empty, "red", "blue", "green".
themeVariant = "red"
```
### Blue variant
```toml
[params]
# Change default color scheme with a variant one. Can be empty, "red", "blue", "green".
themeVariant = "blue"
```
### Green variant
```toml
[params]
# Change default color scheme with a variant one. Can be empty, "red", "blue", "green".
themeVariant = "green"
```
### 'Yours‘ variant
First, create a new CSS file in your local `static/css` folder prefixed by `theme` (e.g. with _mine_ theme `static/css/theme-mine.css`). Copy the following content and modify colors in CSS variables.
```css
:root{
--MAIN-TEXT-color:#323232; /* Color of text by default */
--MAIN-TITLES-TEXT-color: #5e5e5e; /* Color of titles h2-h3-h4-h5 */
--MAIN-LINK-color:#1C90F3; /* Color of links */
--MAIN-LINK-HOVER-color:#167ad0; /* Color of hovered links */
--MAIN-ANCHOR-color: #1C90F3; /* color of anchors on titles */
--MENU-HEADER-BG-color:#1C90F3; /* Background color of menu header */
--MENU-HEADER-BORDER-color:#33a1ff; /*Color of menu header border */
--MENU-SEARCH-BG-color:#167ad0; /* Search field background color (by default borders + icons) */
--MENU-SEARCH-BOX-color: #33a1ff; /* Override search field border color */
--MENU-SEARCH-BOX-ICONS-color: #a1d2fd; /* Override search field icons color */
--MENU-SECTIONS-ACTIVE-BG-color:#20272b; /* Background color of the active section and its childs */
--MENU-SECTIONS-BG-color:#252c31; /* Background color of other sections */
--MENU-SECTIONS-LINK-color: #ccc; /* Color of links in menu */
--MENU-SECTIONS-LINK-HOVER-color: #e6e6e6; /* Color of links in menu, when hovered */
--MENU-SECTION-ACTIVE-CATEGORY-color: #777; /* Color of active category text */
--MENU-SECTION-ACTIVE-CATEGORY-BG-color: #fff; /* Color of background for the active category (only) */
--MENU-VISITED-color: #33a1ff; /* Color of 'page visited' icons in menu */
--MENU-SECTION-HR-color: #20272b; /* Color of separator in menu */
}
body {
color: var(--MAIN-TEXT-color) !important;
}
textarea:focus, input[type="email"]:focus, input[type="number"]:focus, input[type="password"]:focus, input[type="search"]:focus, input[type="tel"]:focus, input[type="text"]:focus, input[type="url"]:focus, input[type="color"]:focus, input[type="date"]:focus, input[type="datetime"]:focus, input[type="datetime-local"]:focus, input[type="month"]:focus, input[type="time"]:focus, input[type="week"]:focus, select[multiple=multiple]:focus {
border-color: none;
box-shadow: none;
}
h2, h3, h4, h5 {
color: var(--MAIN-TITLES-TEXT-color) !important;
}
a {
color: var(--MAIN-LINK-color);
}
.anchor {
color: var(--MAIN-ANCHOR-color);
}
a:hover {
color: var(--MAIN-LINK-HOVER-color);
}
#sidebar ul li.visited > a .read-icon {
color: var(--MENU-VISITED-color);
}
#body a.highlight:after {
display: block;
content: "";
height: 1px;
width: 0%;
-webkit-transition: width 0.5s ease;
-moz-transition: width 0.5s ease;
-ms-transition: width 0.5s ease;
transition: width 0.5s ease;
background-color: var(--MAIN-LINK-HOVER-color);
}
#sidebar {
background-color: var(--MENU-SECTIONS-BG-color);
}
#sidebar #header-wrapper {
background: var(--MENU-HEADER-BG-color);
color: var(--MENU-SEARCH-BOX-color);
border-color: var(--MENU-HEADER-BORDER-color);
}
#sidebar .searchbox {
border-color: var(--MENU-SEARCH-BOX-color);
background: var(--MENU-SEARCH-BG-color);
}
#sidebar ul.topics > li.parent, #sidebar ul.topics > li.active {
background: var(--MENU-SECTIONS-ACTIVE-BG-color);
}
#sidebar .searchbox * {
color: var(--MENU-SEARCH-BOX-ICONS-color);
}
#sidebar a {
color: var(--MENU-SECTIONS-LINK-color);
}
#sidebar a:hover {
color: var(--MENU-SECTIONS-LINK-HOVER-color);
}
#sidebar ul li.active > a {
background: var(--MENU-SECTION-ACTIVE-CATEGORY-BG-color);
color: var(--MENU-SECTION-ACTIVE-CATEGORY-color) !important;
}
#sidebar hr {
border-color: var(--MENU-SECTION-HR-color);
}
```
Then, set the `themeVariant` value with the name of your custom theme file. That's it !
```toml
[params]
# Change default color scheme with a variant one. Can be "red", "blue", "green".
themeVariant = "mine"
```
