Hugo Win31

Hugo Win31 is a Windows 3.1-inspired Hugo theme recovered from the original passo.uno implementation and cleaned up into a reusable standalone theme.

Live demo: https://theletterf.github.io/hugo-win31/

It includes:

• Win 3.1 window chrome, title bar, and menus
• File Manager-style home and section listings
• Switchable wallpapers and color themes
• Desktop icon minimize/restore behavior
• An exampleSite with sample posts, talks, and an about page

Quick start

From this repository root:

hugo server --source exampleSite --themesDir ../..

The published demo site is built from exampleSite and deployed to GitHub Pages.

To use it in another site:

1. Add the theme to your Hugo project.
2. Set theme = "hugo-win31" in your site config.
3. Include the Win31 CSS files in params.customcss.

[params]
  customcss = ["css/win31-fonts.css", "css/syntax.css", "css/win31.css"]
  mainSections = ["posts", "talks"]

  [params.author]
    name = "Your Name"

  [params.win31]
    footerNote = "Built with Hugo."
    showRSS = true

    [[params.win31.social]]
      name = "GitHub"
      url = "https://github.com/you"

Menu entries in the title bar come from Hugo's normal menu.main configuration. The File menu is generated from params.mainSections.

Credits

The theme started as a heavily customized variant of archie and retains its MIT license lineage.
