# anemone
Introducing "anemone," a minimalist [Zola](https://www.getzola.org) theme that prioritizes clean CSS and avoids heavy JavaScript. Enjoy a seamless user experience with lightning-fast load times. Let your content take center stage in a clutter-free, elegant design that enhances readability. Responsive and efficient, anemone brings focus to your ideas.
You can browse the demo website [here](https://anemone.pages.dev/)
I also use it on my own [website.](https://speyllsite.pages.dev/)
Anemone is a versatile Zola theme that comes with both light and dark variants. You can easily switch between the light and dark themes to suit your preferences.

## Release Notes
#### 02-03-2024
This release brings several improvements and enhancements, focusing mainly on optimizing performance and user experience. Here's a summary of the key changes:
- **suCSS Integration:** The core CSS now leverages the lightweight [suCSS framework](https://speyll.github.io/suCSS/) made by yours truly, providing better maintainability, robustness, and scalability. With suCSS, the theme should maintain consistent appearance across different browsers.
- **Enhanced Theme Toggle:** The dark and light theme toggle has been revamped for more consistency. Now, the website respects the user's system-wide theme settings, ensuring a seamless experience. Additionally, the toggle retains the selected theme for future visits, offering improved usability.
- **Smooth Transition and Sound Effect:** Enjoy a smoother transition between the dark and light mode accompanied by a subtle sound effect. Rest assured, the added sound effect incurs minimal performance overhead, with the file size being just 1kb.
- **Class Names and Shortcodes Update:** Some class names and shortcodes have been modified for better organization and clarity. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
- **Slight change in Color Choice:** Some dark mode colors have been changed for the sake of readability, still using [veqev](https://github.com/Speyll/veqev).
