Configuration

Every parameter the theme reads, and what it changes.

Accent hue

Set params.accentHue to any RetroCSS hue and the whole site follows, in both themes.

Corners

params.borderRadius is the framework’s single radius token. 0 keeps the Windows 95 squares.

Titles and credit

params.tagline is appended to the site title in the home page’s <title>, so a search result says what the site is rather than only what it is called.

params.themeCredit controls the footer line. Left alone it credits the theme; set it to false and the footer credits the RetroCSS framework instead.

The docs section

Docs layouts are selected by page type, so the section’s _index.md sets it once and cascades it to everything underneath:

---
title: "Documentation"
type: "docs"
cascade:
  type: "docs"
---

Order the pages with weight. The sidebar tree, the breadcrumbs and the prev/next footer all read it. If your section is not called docs, set params.docsSection to its name as well — that is what tells the sidebar which section to draw a tree for.

Blog sections

params.mainSections decides which sections the home page, the archive widget and the tag cloud count as posts. It defaults to Hugo’s own convention: the section with the most pages.
