The theme offers graphical effects for your linked images.
You can define additional custom image effects and set defaults in your configuration.
The default image effects shipped with the theme are
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| border | Draws a light thin border around the image |
| lazy | Lets the image be lazy loaded |
| lightbox | The image will be clickable to show it enlarged |
| shadow | Draws a shadow around the image to make it appear hovered/glowing |
One way to use them is to add them as URL query parameter to each individually linked image.
This can become cumbersome to be done consistently for the whole site. Instead, you can configure the defaults in your hugo.toml as well as overriding these defaults in a page's front matter.
Explicitly set URL query parameter will override the defaults set for a page or your site.
Without any settings in your hugo.toml imageEffects defaults to
{{< multiconfig >}} [imageEffects] border = false lazy = true lightbox = true shadow = false {{< /multiconfig >}}
{{% badge style="green" icon="fa-fw fab fa-markdown" title=" " %}}Front Matter{{% /badge %}} This can be overridden in a pages front matter for example by
{{< multiconfig fm=true >}} [imageEffects] lazy = false {{< /multiconfig >}}
Or by explicitly override settings by URL query parameter
The settings applied to the above image would be
{{< multiconfig >}} border = true lazy = true lightbox = false shadow = false {{< /multiconfig >}}
