A single hue value (0 to 360) set in the .env.dev file can provide complimentary light and dark mode color schemes:
.env.dev
# default blue
SITE_THEMEHUE=270
If necessary, you can override this and specify your own CSS colors. The theme uses esbuild to bundle and minify client-side CSS and JavaScript files.
Publican.dev website #
The code for the Publican.dev website is publicly available. It’s not an ideal starter theme, but you may find code snippets you want to use and adapt.
