Dynamic accent colors

With Wabi, you may pick an accent color for each post and “theme” that content, providing a clever design layer to compliment the theme’s minimal style. Each post can have one of six different accent colors, all of which you may tailor within the new Global Styles interface. 

Style variants

With multiple style variants (light, dark, and two dynamic color schemes — aoi and pinku) at your fingertips, Method is the most expressive and adaptable writing theme yet. To apply one of these styles, head into the new Site Editor experience, then select the Styles icon at the top right of the toolbar. You’ll see the new Styles sidebar, which you’ll be able to change your theme’s style from. 

Development Guide

To get started with development:

1. Set up a WordPress instance, we recommend wp-env or Local as an alternative to docker.
2. Clone, or download, this repository into your /wp-content/themes/ directory

Requirements

• WordPress 5.9+
• PHP 5.6+
• License: GPLv2 or later

Some theme features / PRs may require Gutenberg trunk and will be described or tagged accordingly.

To optionally run tests locally, you will also need:

• Node.js
• Composer

You can install the test-specific development dependencies by running npm i && composer install. The following test commands are then available:

• npm run lint:css lints and autofixes where possible the CSS
• composer run analyze [filename.php] statically analyzes PHP for bugs
• composer run lint checks PHP for syntax errors
• composer run standards:check checks PHP for standards errors according to WordPress coding standards
• composer run standards:fix attempts to automatically fix errors
