Zarathustra

A simple theme for Ghost made for geeks, hackers and developers (forked from Casper).

Do you like my theme? Do you want new features?
Great, we can discuss. Open an issue. Some ☕☕☕☕ offered with Paypal are appreciated.

Intro

Zarathustra is a very simple fork of the Ghost theme Odin. Zarathustra extends the Ghost theme Odin, adding some nice features very useful for developers such as syntax highlight, comments and big social sharing features. I created this theme to customize Odin for my own personal website. Some things I plan to add are static page support, as well as adding in pixi.js and midi support.

Features

Casper minimalistic and clean style (without right side menu)
Works with Ghost 0.7+
Fully responsive (for mobiles and tablets)
Home Page Navigation Menu Buttons
Google Analytics (easily configurable by code injection in the admin area)
Disqus comments (easily configurable by code injection in the admin area)
Prism Syntax Highlight (all languages supported)
RRSSB Extraordinary Social Sharing Buttons
Font Awesome home page Social Link Icons (easily configurable by code injection in the admin area)

Demo

I've created and I use this theme for my personal website at prestonbernstein.com.

Installation

Installation is the same as other themes, so clone or download the content of this repo inside your Ghost content/themes/ folder.

# for example
$ cd /your-ghost-root-directory
$ git clone https://github.com/ferdythebull/zarathustra.git content/themes/zarathustra

Restart Ghost and select Zarathustra theme from your Admin Area.

Configuration

No need to configure Prism or RRSSB buttons.

To add Homepage Navigation Menu Buttons simply add the links in your Navigation Admin Area. They may be useful for static pages (AboutMe for example) or for shortcut to your (best) post tags.

Zarathustra comes with a default favicon generated with Real Favicon Generator. If you want to add your favicon you can generate your own (with Real Favicon Generator) and place downloaded files inside the assets/img/favicons Zarathustra directory.

Disqus comments, Google Analytics and Font Awesome Home Page Social Link Icons are disabled by default, but they are easily configurable with Blog Header Code Injection inside your Ghost Admin Area.
