Customize Layouts

This tutorial guides you how to customize theme layout.

With Theme Options

The theme provides many layout-related options for you to customize the layout of the theme. For details about these options, see Theme Configuration → Layout.

Responsive BreakPoints

The theme will automatically apply responsive layouts under different screen widths. If you need to modify these breakpoints, you can modify them in style config file.

// Modify the breakpoint of the desktop layout
$pc = 1280px;

For details about breakpoint variables $pc, $laptop, $pad, $tablet, $mobile, see Theme Configuration → Styles.

Layout Size

The theme provides common size variables in the style palette file, and you can modify these variables in the palette file to achieve the purpose of modifying the layout size.

// Modify the height of the navigation bar
$navbar-height = 80px;

Introduction of layout variables can be found at Theme Configuration → Style.

Via Style File

The style file is .vuepress/styles/index.scss in the project directory, where you can put your own styles.

• If you are not satisfied with the style of the theme, you can adjust the style of the theme components through the style file.

  Note

  In order to override the original style, you need to use the same or higher priority selector or use !important directly.

• If you want to remove some features, you can hide related dom elements by display: none in the style file.

Adding / Overriding Layouts

You can add new layouts or override existing layouts via layouts option in client config file.

import { defineClientConfig } from "vuepress/client";
import Changelog from "./layouts/Changelog.vue";
import Layout from "./layouts/Layout.vue";

export default defineClientConfig({
  // You can override or add layouts here
  layouts: {
    // For example, here we change the default layout of vuepress-theme-hope to layouts/Layout.vue
    Layout,
    // Also we added a Changelog layout
    Changelog,
  },
