Customization

Hugo's lookup order means anything in your site overrides the theme. No fork required.

Override layouts and partials

Drop a file with the same path under your site's layouts/ to replace the theme version.

your-site/
└── layouts/
    ├── _partials/
    │   └── footer.html      # overrides themes/tsuki/layouts/_partials/footer.html
    └── single.html          # overrides themes/tsuki/layouts/single.html

To extend rather than replace, copy the theme partial into your site, then modify. Common overrides:

  • _partials/footer.html — add license, build info, web ring links
  • _partials/home/hero.html — restructure the homepage hero
  • _partials/comments.html — swap Giscus for a different provider

Override design tokens

Tokens are CSS custom properties on :root and :where([data-theme="dark"]). Override them in a custom stylesheet without editing the theme.

/* your-site/assets/css/custom.css */
:root {
  --tsuki-accent: #cc7a3b;        /* warmer accent */
  --tsuki-font-sans: "Public Sans", system-ui, sans-serif;
  --tsuki-content-width: 48rem;   /* wider posts */
}
:where([data-theme="dark"]) {
  --tsuki-accent: #f0a070;
}

Append it to the bundle by overriding _partials/head.html. Copy the theme version, add your file:

{{- $cssFiles := slice
  (resources.Get "css/tokens.css")
  (resources.Get "css/reset.css")
  ...
  (resources.Get "css/view-transitions.css")
  (resources.Get "css/custom.css")     {{/* your override, last in cascade */}}
-}}

Add custom icons

Drop SVGs into assets/icons/<name>.svg, then reference by name:

# data/profile.yaml
links:
  - icon: bluesky
    label: Bluesky
    url: https://bsky.app/profile/...

Use currentColor for fill/stroke so icons inherit text color in light and dark modes:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor">
  <path d="..."/>
</svg>

Self-host fonts

The theme stack is "Inter", "Be Vietnam Pro", system-ui, .... The first two fall back to system fonts when missing. To self-host:

  1. Subset Be Vietnam Pro + Inter to vietnamese,latin ranges.
  2. Drop the woff2 files into static/fonts/.
  3. Add @font-face declarations in assets/css/custom.css (see "Override design tokens" above).
@font-face {
  font-family: "Inter";
  src: url("/fonts/Inter-VariableFont_slnt,wght.woff2") format("woff2-variations");
  font-weight: 100 900;
  font-display: swap;
}
@font-face {
  font-family: "Be Vietnam Pro";
  src: url("/fonts/BeVietnamPro-Regular.woff2") format("woff2");
  font-weight: 400;
  font-display: swap;
}

Override colors per-page

Set CSS variables inline via a frontmatter style you wire up yourself, or use the body_class block from baseof.html:

<!-- layouts/section/work.html -->
{{ define "body_class" }}list section-work{{ end }}

Then style body.section-work { --tsuki-accent: #...; } in your custom CSS.

Disable features

Every interactive feature has a kill switch:

params:
  search:
    enable: false           # removes search button + /search/ route
  comments:
    giscus:
      enable: false         # comments partial becomes a no-op

Per-post:

toc: false
comments: false
