Default

This the default Omeka S theme.

Installation

For basic out-of-the-box use of the theme, follow the Omeka S User Manual instructions for installing themes.

For more advanced use, such as customizing the theme with Sass, you'll need to install the tools with NodeJS (0.12 or greater). Navigate to your theme directory and run npm install.

Customizing the Theme

For those dipping their toes into customizing sites with CSS, the CSS Editor module allows site administrators to write style overrides.

For advanced CSS and Sass users, Default provides variables for easily customizing typography, spacing, and colors in asset/sass/_base.scss. There is also a mixin for a set of standard container styles.

Sass Tasks

Run these commands within the theme's root directory.

• npm start: While this task runs, it watches for changes to sass files and recompiles the CSS.
• gulp css: This is the one-off task for compiling the current Sass/CSS.
• gulp css:watch: This task watches for changes in the Sass, then compiles the CSS.

Theme Configuration

• Main accent color: An accent color to be used on links. The default hex value is #920b0b.
• Top navigation depth: If the main navigation is set to display child pages, this setting controls how many navigation levels to display. Setting this to '0' shows all levels.
• Logo: Upload an image asset to use as a logo in place of a text site title.
• Banner: Upload an image asset to use a banner that sits above the main content area of every view.
• Banner height: The maximum banner image height in pixels.
• Banner height for mobile devices: The maximum banner image height in pixels at narrower viewport widths.
• Banner position: Where to anchor the banner image within its container: centered, stuck to the top, or stuck to the bottom.
• Truncate Body Property: Controls the size of the body property of resources in a browseable list. It can be set to show the full value, truncate after 4 lines and fade out, or truncate after 4 lines and clip with an ellipsis.
• Footer content: Control what appears in the footer. This field takes HTML markup.

Resource Page Configuration

Omeka S 4.0 introduced configurable resource pages. Default supports block configuration for items, item sets, and media show pages. Each of those views contains two configurable regions.

• Main with sidebar: This is a version of the primary content area that expects to sit alongside a single right sidebar.
• Right sidebar: This is a sidebar that sits to the right of "main with sidebar".
