New Blockout Theme Update Coming Soon!

Hey all! I'm just here to let you guys know that I'm working on a new update to the theme! I'm currently testing it out myself to hunt for bugs before starting the validation process, but here are a few features that I wanted to share ahead of time:

Improved NPF Formatting

Up to 4 custom links with icons as an option

Sticky headers

Customizable fonts for title and body

A Material Icons fill toggle

Photo/photoset additional rendering for click-through links and EXIF information

Content Source rendering

Technically, there is an experimental branch on my GitHub, but know that until it's verified, but I'll be starting the verification process next week. I'm also slowly working on a third theme right now.

I'm also thinking of switching to a single hub blog and showing off the themes as pages so that I don't take up so many URLs. These blogs will stay up, though.

Anyway, if you run into any bugs or feature requests on either this theme or in @skyetrick-streamerluck, then feel free to send an ask to the respective blog and let me know. I'm planning on making a Google Form for something like support requests, but we can talk about that another day. For now, I hope you guys have a nice day and I thank you all for your patience in these long breaks in between updates.

heyo, is there no way to add pages or custom links on this theme? i see them on this blog, but i can't figure out for the life of me how to get them to work myself. at some point i attempted to just edit the code itself, but it's gettin' difficult to wrestle with it ;w; ty!

Hello! Thanks for reaching out.

At the moment, there are not fields for specifically custom links on either the main nav or the side panel (the links in the side panel are tags). I'm thinking of adding it as a feature request in a future version though!

However, for now, the custom links that you see on my page are a result of me adding the custom link to my page.

From the "Edit Theme" menu click "Add a page" and simply change "Standard Layout" to "Link". Below the cut are pictures of what I mean. Hope this helps!

Additional Features:

Added NPF rendering! This blog now supports native rendering of the major formats.

Thanks to @eggdesign for the template for me to understand how it works.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed theme invalidation issues.

If you have any issues or concerns with the theme, feel free to send an ask to this blog! I also plan on attempting to submit the theme as an official Tumblr theme as well.

Known Issues and Updates

Hi, this is @mxstball, the creator for @skyetrick-streamerluck and @skyetrick-blockout. Wanted to post to give some updates.

I am aware that Tumblr is starting to move to the Beta Editor full time and that my themes will still show all beta posts as text posts at this time. I wanted to let you know that I have already started doing experimentation and research into making these themes NPF-compatible (As an aside, thank you @eggdesign for making my research a TON easier).

I am working on a v2.0.0 patch for both themes that will include NPF formatting. I will not give a due date at this time as I am currently juggling a lot of IRL things.

For those of you who are on @skyetrick-blockout, I am also aware of a bug with the theme that's causing some glitches with borders or random breakage. I'm working on that as well. This will also be included in the v.2.0.0 patch.

If you have any questions regarding the theme or require some support, please feel free to send an ask to the appropriate theme blog. Thank you for your support and for your patience!

- Skye

Blockout Theme v1.0.0

Hey guys. Looks like I finally finished making my first Tumblr theme! This was a huge undertaking and took me several weeks to actually get done. I’m still working on a README on my GitHub and and optimizations, but I think that it’s good enough that I can finally share it.

Features:

Mobile and desktop support

Easy use to header image and profile

Customizable navigation

A toggle-able sidebar that slides in an out (desktop only) with the following:

An Updates Menu

Two sets of trending tags: a “guest tags” section and a “main tags” section

Instructions:

Please read the Terms of use here before choosing to use this theme.

Click the “Credit” page on the theme or just click here to go on my GitHub page

Download the file “blockout.html” located within the “Theme” folder and copy the code (or just copy the HTML directly from the page)

Go on your blog and click “Edit Appearance” (it may look like a paint palette) to go to your Customize menu

Click “Custom theme”

Paste the code into the “Edit HTML” box and press “Save”

You will now be able to customize this theme to your heart’s content!

I’m still working hard to improve this theme as of now as it will be my main theme for hopefully a while. If you run into any bugs or issues, feel free to send in an ask. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day.

I forgot to test a READMORE

This is how a READMORE works on the theme.
