New Standard Theme

We published a new design for typemill.net yesterday. It will become the new standard theme called cyanine. The old standard theme will be available for download in future, but I won't make major improvments to it anymore.

The new standard theme has a lot of improvements:

The size is reduced from 600kb to 60kb.
It uses the tachyons css library which is much easier to maintain.
It does not use old-school font-icons anymore, in fact it does not use any icons.
Like the old theme, it is free of JavaScript.
Like all themes it is super fast.

The theme supports a lot of new features, among them:

Configure brand colors for your website.
Choose between fonts (separated into base font, headline font and navigation font).
configure a three column footer.
Activate an optional landingpage.

The landing page has several segments, that you can activate and configure:

Intro segment (that shows the content of the homepage and an optional button).
Info segment (with pure markdown).
Feature segment (with two boxes).
Contrast segment (with inverted colors with title, text and button).
Navigation segment (choose the depth of the navigation).
News segment (choose the folder, three latest items will be listed).
