The Skeleton theme is no longer being maintained by Shopify. Developers are encouraged to use Slate - a theme scaffolding and command line tool built for developing Shopify themes.
You can continue to use Skeleton; however, this repo will not be kept up-to-date with changes in Shopify theme development.
The Skeleton theme is a simplified Shopify theme, to be used as a "blank slate" starting point for theme designers.
Features:
- Almost no theme settings. Ready to be customized any way you want.
- Only ~500 lines of CSS including comments.
- Despite its 500 lines of CSS code, it is responsive and has styled drop-down menus.
- Include SVG images to style select elements and cart icon.
- Commented code to teach you Liquid concepts in practice.
