Safely adjust colors, typography, and components so the theme feels like your own.

This guide explains how to adjust Liquid Stack’s visual style without breaking upgrades or responsive layouts.

Start with configuration

Begin with the title, sidebar subtitle, avatar, and color settings in hugo.yaml. Prefer front matter and data/ files for content changes instead of editing theme source directly.

Add scoped styles

Site-level styles live in assets/scss/custom.scss. Give new components clear class names and avoid broad element overrides, which can unintentionally affect posts, menus, and mobile layouts.

Preview every change

After changing color, spacing, or type, check the home page, posts, photo wall, launchpad, and dark mode. Finish with a full Hugo build to catch missing resources and template errors.

The homepage widgets feel complete and are ready once the sample content is replaced.

Comments, backlinks, and the CMS keep their complete entry points and work after connecting your own services.
