Only make customisations in your Hugo project&rsquo;s sub-directories, not in the themes directory itself.</span></div><p>Congo is built to take advantage of all the standard Hugo practices. It is designed to allow all aspects of the theme to be customised and overriden without changing any of the core theme files. This allows for a seamless upgrade experience while giving you total control over the look and feel of your website.</p><p>In order to achieve this, you should never manually adjust any of the theme files directly. Whether you install using Hugo modules, as a git submodule or manually include the theme in your <code>themes/</code> directory, you should always leave these files intact.</p><p>The correct way to adjust any theme behaviour is by overriding files using Hugo&rsquo;s powerful <a href=https://gohugo.io/templates/lookup-order/ target=_blank>file lookup order</a>. In summary, the lookup order ensures any files you include in your project directory will automatically take precedence over any theme files.</p><p>For example, if you wanted to override the main article template in Congo, you can simply create your own <code>layouts/_default/single.html</code> file and place it in the root of your project. This file will then override the <code>single.html</code> from the theme without ever changing the theme itself. This works for any theme files - HTML templates, partials, shortcodes, config files, data, assets, etc.</p><p>As long as you follow this simple practice, you will always be able to update the theme (or test different theme versions) without worrying that you will lose any of your custom changes.</p><h2 id=colour-schemes class="relative group">Colour schemes <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"><a class="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700" style=text-decoration-line:none!important href=#colour-schemes aria-label=Anchor>#</a></span></h2><p>Congo ships with a number of colour schemes out of the box. To change the basic colour scheme, you can set the <code>colorScheme</code> theme parameter. Refer to the <a href=https://jpanther.github.io/congo/docs/getting-started/#colour-schemes>Getting Started</a> section to learn more about the built-in schemes.</p><p>In addition to the default schemes, you can also create your own and re-style the entire website to your liking. Schemes are created by by placing a <code>&lt;scheme-name>.css</code> file in the <code>assets/css/schemes/</code> folder. Once the file is created, simply refer to it by name in the theme configuration.</p><p>Congo defines a three-colour palette that is used throughout the theme. The three colours are defined as <code>neutral</code>, <code>primary</code> and <code>secondary</code> variants, each containing ten shades of colour.</p><p>Due to the way Tailwind CSS 3.0 calculates colour values with opacity, the colours specified in the scheme need to <a href=https://github.com/adamwathan/tailwind-css-variable-text-opacity-demo target=_blank>conform to a particular format</a> by providing the red, green and blue colour values.</p><div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-css data-lang=css><span class=line><span class=cl><span class=p>:</span><span class=nd>root</span> <span class=p>{</span>

</span></span><span class=line><span class=cl><span class=p>}</span>
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>This example defines a CSS variable for the <code>primary-500</code> colour with a red value of <code>139</code>, green value of <code>92</code> and blue value of <code>246</code>.</p><p>Use one of the existing theme stylesheets as a template. You are free to define your own colours, but for some inspiration, check out the official <a href=https://tailwindcss.com/docs/customizing-colors#color-palette-reference target=_blank>Tailwind colour palette reference</a>.</p><h2 id=overriding-the-stylesheet class="relative group">Overriding the stylesheet <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"><a class="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700" style=text-decoration-line:none!important href=#overriding-the-stylesheet aria-label=Anchor>#</a></span></h2><p>Sometimes you need to add a custom style to style your own HTML elements. Congo provides for this scenario by allowing you to override the default styles in your own CSS stylesheet. Simply create a <code>custom.css</code> file in your project&rsquo;s <code>assets/css/</code> folder.</p><p>The <code>custom.css</code> file will be minified by Hugo and loaded automatically after all the other theme styles which means anything in your custom file will take precedence over the defaults.</p><h3 id=adjusting-the-font-size class="relative group">Adjusting the font size <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"><a class="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700" style=text-decoration-line:none!important href=#adjusting-the-font-size aria-label=Anchor>#</a></span></h3><p>Changing the font size of your website is one example of overriding the default stylesheet. Congo makes this simple as it uses scaled font sizes throughout the theme which are derived from the base HTML font size. By default, Tailwind sets the default size to <code>12pt</code>, but it can be changed to whatever value you prefer.</p><p>Create a <code>custom.css</code> file using the <a href=#overriding-the-stylesheet>instructions above</a> and add the following CSS declaration:</p><div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-css data-lang=css><span class=line><span class=cl><span class=c>/* Increase the default font size */</span>
</span></span><span class=line><span class=cl><span class=nt>html</span> <span class=p>{</span>
</span></span><span class=line><span class=cl> <span class=k>font-size</span><span class=p>:</span> <span class=mi>13</span><span class=kt>pt</span><span class=p>;</span>
</span></span><span class=line><span class=cl><span class=p>}</span>
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Simply by changing this one value, all the font sizes on your website will be adjusted to match this new size. Therefore, to increase the overall font sizes used, make the value greater than <code>12pt</code>. Similarly, to decrease the font sizes, make the value less than <code>12pt</code>.</p><h2 id=building-the-theme-css-from-source class="relative group">Building the theme CSS from source <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"><a class="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700" style=text-decoration-line:none!important href=#building-the-theme-css-from-source aria-label=Anchor>#</a></span></h2><p>If you&rsquo;d like to make a major change, you can take advantage of Tailwind CSS&rsquo;s JIT compiler and rebuild the entire theme CSS from scratch.

Namely, <strong>you have to include Congo in your project as a subdirectory at <code>themes/congo/</code></strong>. This means you cannot easily use Hugo Modules to install the theme and you must go down either the git submodule (recommended) or manual install routes. The <a href=https://jpanther.github.io/congo/docs/installation/>Installation docs</a> explain how to install the theme using either of these methods.</p><h3 id=project-structure class="relative group">Project structure <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"><a class="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700" style=text-decoration-line:none!important href=#project-structure aria-label=Anchor>#</a></span></h3><p>In order to take advantage of the default configuration, your project should look something like this&mldr;</p><div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-shell data-lang=shell><span class=line><span class=cl>.

</span></span></code></pre></div><p>It&rsquo;s a bit of an ugly command due to the paths involved but essentially you&rsquo;re calling Tailwind CLI and passing it the location of the Tailwind config file (the one we looked at above), where to find the theme&rsquo;s <code>main.css</code> file and then where you want the compiled CSS file to be placed (it&rsquo;s going into the <code>assets/css/compiled/</code> folder of your Hugo project).</p><p>The config file will automatically inspect all the content and layouts in your project as well as all those in the theme and build a new CSS file that contains all the CSS required for your website. Due to the way Hugo handles file hierarchy, this file in your project will now automatically override the one that comes with the theme.</p><p>Each time you make a change to your layouts and need new Tailwind CSS styles, you can simply re-run the command and generate the new CSS file. You can also add <code>-w</code> to the end of the command to run the JIT compiler in watch mode.</p><h3 id=make-a-build-script class="relative group">Make a build script <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"><a class="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700" style=text-decoration-line:none!important href=#make-a-build-script aria-label=Anchor>#</a></span></h3><p>To fully complete this solution, you can simplify this whole process by adding aliases for these commands, or do what I do and add a <code>package.json</code> to the root of your project which contains the necessary scripts&mldr;</p><div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-js data-lang=js><span class=line><span class=cl><span class=c1>// package.json
