Blur Applied Via SVG Filter

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Perhaps instead of using two separate images, something could be done by applying an SVG blur filter via CSS. This would make it easier to customize the homepage cover, uploading a single image instead of manipulating it so that there's a blur on one copy, but not on the other.

At the time we created this theme, the thought was that you could do just about anything with the crossfade of two images (blur being just one of them).

Having said that, the assets in THIS repo are compressed and concatenated, and intended to be used as a drop-in theme.

If you'd like to modify it, or use it as a jumping off point for theme development, check out the development version to get going. It includes grunt tasks for making things a little easier.

Themeing ghost is one of the better (and easier) experiences with blogware.

You're more than welcome to rejigger anything you like and make it your own.
