A minimalistic theme for Ghost inspired by the Designmodo Journal. Phantom combines clean, beautiful typography with large photos and an unobtrusive layout. Great for both print and code. Oh, and it's free. Check out the demo and the design project.

Features

As Ghost is and always will be in development, Phantom will evolve with it. As new features and concepts are implemented in Ghost, Phantom will adapt and enhance to suit these new features. If you have any problems or feature requests, feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request.

  • Cover Photos: Large background cover photos covered by a dark, transparent wash allow for overlaying text.
  • CDN Resources: All vendor stylesheets and scripts are loaded from cdn.js for maximum performance.
  • Responsive Design: Phantom was designed and developed with a fully responsive, mobile-first design.
  • Code Support: Want to insert a Markdown code block or embed a GitHub Gist? Phantom has both covered.
  • Comment System: Adding a Disqus commenting system to your blog has never been easier.
  • Custom Fonts: Phantom uses 'Open Sans' served by Google Web Fonts.
  • Social Sharing: Each post is set up with Facebook, Twitter and Google+ social sharing options.
  • Ghost Features: Tags, dates, partials and all the helpful Ghost features have been preconfigured.

Installation

  1. Download the theme from GitHub.
  2. Upload the theme as described in the Ghost Documentation.

Looking for more instructions? Sorry, it's just that easy.

Enabling Disqus Comments

If you want to enable comments, simply open post.hbs and remove the exclamation mark in the comments block, so {{!> comments}} becomes {{> comments}}.

You'll also need to enter your Disqus "shortname". Just head on over to the Disqus website and register for an account. They'll give you a small snippet of code, but all we need from it is the following line:

var disqus_shortname = 'YOUR_SHORTNAME_HERE';

Once you have that, just open partials/comments.hbs and replace the YOUR_SHORTNAME_HERE variable with the one Disqus gave you. Try not to edit any other settings or replace the code though, it's preconfigured to work with Ghost.
