Theme Chromate

The Chromate theme is a new Hexo theme with support for Podcasts.

It has the following feature:

• Simple and Lightweight: There are no redundant setting items, no references to a large number of third-party libraries, which ensures that it can be loaded and displayed as soon as possible.
• Responsive: The theme is built on the Bulma CSS framework, which ensures that it can be displayed normally and beautifully on most devices.
• Full Support for Podcasts: Without too much configuration, you can easily publish a Podcast (details below 👇).
• Dark mode support: Dark mode browsing on most of browsers/operating systems.

Usage

Take a look at the comments in the sample configuration file _config.yaml and fill in them for using Chromate.

For general Bloggers

Nothing special, just write the article as usual:

hexo new post you-post-name-here

For adding a thumbnail to your post, add this to your post file header:

thumbnail: 'Thumbnail-Image-Link'

Additionally, just DO NOT use podcast in post configuration fields!

For Podcasters

Add these fields in your post configuration area to define a Podcast type post:

podcast:
  subtitle: A test Podcast EP  # Subtitle of your EP
  authors: ['Doge-Gui', 'Cool Guy']  # Authors
  cover: https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/03/28/19/21/easter-3270234_1280.jpg  # Cover image will shown in web-audio-player
  duration: 64  # Continuous time
  media:
    url: https://audionautix.com/Music/BackToTheWood.mp3  # Media link
    size: 1020453  # Media size in byte
    type: audio/mpeg  # Media type
  chapters:  # Chapters info for auto generating timeline. [Optional]
    - ['First Chapter', 13]  
    - ['Second Chapter', 30]
    - ['Third Chapter', 45]
    - ['Forth Chapter', 60]
  references:  # References info for auto generating references. [Optional]
    - ['Post Thumbnail', 'https://pixabay.com/zh/illustrations/sunrise-ocean-ship-sun-sunset-5863751/']
    - ['Podcast Cover', 'https://pixabay.com/zh/illustrations/easter-easter-bunny-rabbit-ears-3270234/']
    - ['Back To The Woods', 'https://audionautix.com/free-music/country']

Please DO NOT modify these fields name.

Then you can get:

1. Different homepage guide buttons

   For common types of post, you can see the Continue Reading guide button on the homepage; for a Podcast, Listen Now will be displayed.

2. Automatically generated audio player

   For Podcast post, you only need to fill in the Meta meta information according to the format, and a player will be automatically generated in the article (Special thanks to Shikwasa!).

   If you completed chapters field, the audio player will also shown with Chapters List :)

3. Rendering of meta-information inner article

   After you fill in the Meta information, you can use the following tags to call the automatically rendered author information, citation information, and timeline:

   • Timeline

     {% timeline %}
     

   • References

     {% references %}
     

   • Authors

     {% authors %}
     

4. Automatically generated RSS subscription

   We know that RSS is important for podcasts, but configuring them manually is a boring thing, so in Chromate, you only need to fill in the configuration file, and the RSS subscription will be automatically generated.

   Important: If you want to open support for auto generating rss with podcasts, please install a plugin manually under your Hexo project folder:

   npm install podcast --save
