Welcome to Pixel Theme — a Jekyll blog that looks like it was compiled in 1993.
What You’re Looking At
- The font is Press Start 2P — a pixel-perfect bitmap-style Google Font
- Those horizontal lines across the page are CSS scanlines (a
repeating-linear-gradientoverlay) - The boot sequence you saw on first load? Pure CSS
@keyframes— no JavaScript until the sequence ends - The ❤️ in the top bar tracks your reading progress
The Palette System
Change your entire color scheme with one config value:
pixel:
palette: "gameboy" # try: nes | cga | amber | synthwave
gameboy → classic green-on-black Game Boy LCD
nes → warm cream/blue NES palette
cga → hardcore cyan/magenta CGA monitor
amber → orange amber CRT terminal
synthwave → purple/pink retrowave
