Introducing "anemone," a minimalist Zola theme that prioritizes clean CSS and avoids heavy JavaScript. Enjoy a seamless user experience with lightning-fast load times. Let your content take center stage in a clutter-free, elegant design that enhances readability. Responsive and efficient, anemone brings focus to your ideas.

You can browse the demo website here I also use it on my own website.

Anemone is a versatile Zola theme that comes with both light and dark variants. You can easily switch between the light and dark themes to suit your preferences.

Release Notes

02-03-2024

This release brings several improvements and enhancements, focusing mainly on optimizing performance and user experience. Here's a summary of the key changes:

suCSS Integration: The core CSS now leverages the lightweight suCSS framework made by yours truly, providing better maintainability, robustness, and scalability. With suCSS, the theme should maintain consistent appearance across different browsers.
Enhanced Theme Toggle: The dark and light theme toggle has been revamped for more consistency. Now, the website respects the user's system-wide theme settings, ensuring a seamless experience. Additionally, the toggle retains the selected theme for future visits, offering improved usability.
Smooth Transition and Sound Effect: Enjoy a smoother transition between the dark and light mode accompanied by a subtle sound effect. Rest assured, the added sound effect incurs minimal performance overhead, with the file size being just 1kb.
Class Names and Shortcodes Update: Some class names and shortcodes have been modified for better organization and clarity. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Slight change in Color Choice: Some dark mode colors have been changed for the sake of readability, still using veqev.

]
