[THEME 28] Circadium 2.0

Yes! Sweet baby Jesus it’s finally here, and boy does it look great and run smooth as silk! This is a revisitation of Theme 16, Circadium, which boasted a complete day/night cycle based on the user’s system clock, but used some horribly inefficient code to do so since I was still getting a feel for JavaScript at the time. 2.0 gets rid of most of the backbreaking overhead, is much easier to use and customize, and has hand-drawn celestial bodies in the background for a little extra personality :]

Hit me up as always if there’s any issues with the theme; I’ve been away from the Tumblr theme making scene for a while so I might be rusty, haha. There’s a lot of old work that needs updating...

Live Preview; looks different depending on the time

Features

Fluid day/night cycle that transitions between three end states (noon/twilight/dusk)

The sun and moon in the background also change position based on time to simulate rising and setting

Responsive sidebar!

500px posts

Like and reblog buttons

Unlimited custom links

Five color options for day and night mode, totaling 10 colors

Custom fonts

Unnested captions

[THEME 30] Papercrush

My first time submitting something to the theme garden, haha. This theme experiments with neumorphism - a modern response to the skeuomorphic UI styles of the 2000s, when designers tended to make elements look realistic and not just like flat objects on a screen. By nature this is a very low-key, low-contrast sort of style, which in my experience has a soothing effect - but a “flat mode” does exist too, with the drop shadows replaced by borders, for those who prefer the 2010s look.

Layout-wise, this was inspired by and named after Peter Vidani’s Papercut theme, the first I ever used on Tumblr. I thought the single column look and cute post info “bubbles” had aged well and wanted to create a more up-to-date version that supported NPF posts.

[THEME 25] Chillstepper

2018 has been highly exhausting for me (as evidenced by my six-month hiatus, lmao). I figured I’d base my first theme of the year on the kind of music I’ve been using to unwind: low-stress, low-energy chillstep. It’s not my fanciest work - nor is it meant to be - but if you’re looking for a clean, lightweight theme that gets rolling without much effort then this is it.

If you like my work and want to support me, donations are always appreciated. Reblogs are extremely helpful too since they help me gain more visibility!

(Note: The title and description are both best kept short, the title in particular will look terrible if it takes up more than one line. This theme simply isn’t designed for that kind of thing. Be warned)

As always, just drop me an ask if you run into any problems or think I might have missed something.

Theme #23: RGBA(3)

The third theme from my RGBA series, consisting of themes that sync with your mobile appearance settings. It uses your icon, fonts, colors, and other display options from the mobile theme so you no longer have to wait till you get to your desktop to customize your blog.

With discreet navigation and an unobtrusive sidebar, this theme works excellently for content-first blogs, but you can enable the gradient borders to add a bit of flair as well.

If you like my work and want to support me, you can either donate or commission a custom theme :] if neither of those is an option then a simple reblog is very helpful too.

Theme #24: Jul

A sort of spiritual successor to Diwali, one of my first themes. Features a string of lights up top and a very customizable layout. (We don’t celebrate anything around this time of year where I’m from, but I’ve always loved the lights that people put up lol)

Theme #22: Paleta

Alternative title: So Much Goddamn Flexbox

The idea of a theme resembling a color palette is one I’ve been toying with for a long time, so this is actually kind of overdue. The main highlight of this theme is the six custom “swatches” on the left side of the screen that display their hex codes below the link labels. Though obviously intended for vibrant color schemes, it looks just as great in monochrome!

Theme #20: RGBA(1)

Mobile bloggers: have you ever wanted to change your desktop theme, but were forced to wait till you got to a computer? Have you found yourself wishing the colors on your mobile theme would synchronize across devices so you wouldn’t end up with clashing color schemes, but (understandably) don’t want to use Optica? Look no further.

This is the first theme from my new RGBA() series, a line of simple, light, accessible themes that take under two minutes to fully set up. Because they are designed for quick use, these themes are ideal for anyone who wants a clean desktop theme without spending ages getting it to look right. And this is the best part - its colors synchronize with your mobile theme, so you can control how your blog looks from anywhere.

The series is named after the syntax for semi-transparent colors for a good reason - it recycles varying opacities of a single accent color throughout the page, creating a harmonious look with very little effort on the user’s part. Regardless of whether you’d rather use custom colors on desktop or you prefer the mobile-optimized version, the theme only needs three colors from you - text color, the background for the text, and an accent.

I’d really appreciate reblogs on this one, the better to help people who could really use something like this haha.

Previews:

Other features and code under the cut:

Three color options. For the mobile colors version, the title color from your mobile theme doubles as the text color on desktop. (I don’t understand why staff didn’t just have a text color option for the description and use the accent color for the title, but them’s the breaks - I can’t control how the global variables function, sadly.)

Custom post width

Custom Google font (body + accent) and font size

Custom like and reblog buttons

Scroll to top button

Unlimited custom links in a drop-down menu

Optional search bar

Optional custom favicon

Optional borders on elements

Optional rounded corners

Background options - plain (same as post background), accent, or gradient

Theme #21: RGBA(2) [Reupload]

Since the first theme from this series was quite the success, I’ll be making several others like it. The fonts, colors, and miscellaneous visibility options on all RGBA themes sync with your mobile theme, so they’re very easy to set up because of how little customization work is involved. This makes them a good choice for mobile bloggers or anyone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of time getting their blog to look exactly right. (It does have a handful of desktop-only appearance options for you to fine-tune to your heart’s content.)

RGBA(2) is a lot more serious and content-centered than (1) - consider putting it on art and photography blogs, for example.

Likes and reblogs are always appreciated if you find this useful! :>
