The goal of Antarctica is evolving to an elegant and feature-rich theme across platforms.

Live demo

Highlights

• Fully responsive layout achieves best visual on different screens
• Flexible widgets provide extensible functionality
• Integrated NerdFonts with 3000+ icons
• Automatic sitemap generation with Jekyll Sitemap
• Configuration-free search engine optimization with Jekyll Seo Tag
• Reduced JavaScript usage to accelerate loading. No external js file for main frame (Some widgets require external JavaScript).

Installation

There are three ways to install:

• If you are hosting the site by yourself, you may prefer to install as a gem-based theme
• If you are hosting the site on Github pages, you can install as a remote theme
• You can also fork the release branch of this repository

Customization

Customizable options are under _config.yml. Coments inside will help you to edit them.

Widget System

Widgets in Antarctica are cards docked at the right side of the page with customizable contents. To enable/disable a widget, edit the widgets field in the template section of the config.

Widgets included in the current version:

• colophon
• comment
• post metadata
• share this page
• related sites
• table of content

Build A Widget

Widgets are essentially self-contained HTML files including all the styles and scripts needed. To add a widget, create a HTML file under ./_includes/widgets/. You can take other files in this directory as a reference.

Register A Widget

A page only loads widgets registered in it. This allows different sets of widgets to be load according to the page. To register a widget to a page, add the filename of the widget excluding the extension to the widgets field in the file under ./_layouts/. To make the widget enabled, the name should also be added to the widgets field in the template section of the config.
