You can (and should) modify a couple of settings. An overview of all settings can be found in _config.yml. The most important ones are discussed below.
There are two possible methods to override the defaults. As a first option,
you could fork the theme and maintain a custom branch with your settings.
Alternatively, you can configure it from your site's primary configuration
file. Therefore, define your custom settings under the theme_config
variable.
For example:
# _config.yml
theme_config:
colorscheme: white
# themes/cactus/_config.yml
colorscheme: dark
This will override the default black colorscheme in themes/cactus/_config.yml
.
Currently, this theme is delivered with four color schemes: dark, light,
white and classic. Set your preferred color scheme in the _config.yml
file.
colorscheme: light
Alternatively, you can easily create your own color scheme by creating a new
file in source/css/_colors
.
Setup the navigation menu in the _config.yml
:
nav:
Home: /
About: /about/
Writing: /archives/
Projects: http://github.com/probberechts
LINK_NAME: URL
You have two options for the list of blog posts on the home page:
-
Show only the 5 most recent posts (default)
posts_overview: show_all_posts: false post_count: 5
-
Show all posts
posts_overview: show_all_posts: true
Create a projects file source/_data/projects.json
to show a list of your projects on the index page.

},
{
"name":"Font Awesome",
"url":"http://fontawesome.io/",

Cactus can automatically add links to your social media accounts.
Therefore, update the theme's _config.yml
:
social_links:
github: your-github-url
twitter: your-twitter-url
NAME: your-NAME-url
where NAME
is the name of a Font Awesome icon.
If you are new to Hexo and internationalization (i18n), please read Hexo documentation - internationalization (i18n) section
Currently, the theme is delivered with support for:
- English (en), default
- Brazilian Portuguese (pt-br)
- Catalan (ca)
- Chinese (Simplified, PRC) (zh-CN)
- Dutch (nl)
- French (fr)
- Italian (it)
- Persian (fa)
- Russian (ru)
- Spanish (es)
If you would like to use one the languages listed above, simply set language
to the desired language (e.g., fr
) in _config.yml
.
Otherwise, you can follow the steps below (E.g., to add a Japanese (ja) translation):
- Set
language
toja

- Create a
ja.yml
file in thethemes/cactus/languages/
folder - Copy the content of
themes/cactus/languages/default.yml
and paste it it into theja.yml
file - Replace all English strings by their Japanese translation
Note: Cactus does not support multi-language sites.
This theme support RTL languages for Persian and Arabic language.
If you would like to use RTL layout, change direction
attribute in _config.yml
to rtl
.
Note that this also will change the font to Vazir, wich is a Persian font.
direction: rtl

field in the _config.yml
to one of the following values:
