nes theme

A retro gaming theme for Flarum. It is recommended that you make your main forum colors black. Also, use Friends of Flarum's Linguist extension to edit Start a Discussion and other verbiage to something shorter (due to the type of font).

If you want to try a narrower yet still retro pixel font, place this code in your custom CSS box within your admin appearance settings:

@import (css) url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=VT323&display=swap');

html,
body,
pre,
code,
kbd,
samp {
font-family: 'VT323', courier;
}

Installation

Install with composer:

composer require zerosonesfun/flarum-theme-nes:"*"

Updating

composer update zerosonesfun/flarum-theme-nes:"*"
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

Remove

composer remove zerosonesfun/flarum-theme-nes

any Demo to go?

samtto No demo, sorry. But, all it does is add some CSS. So, you can very safely install it, try it out, and remove it with no leftover code or anything.

Thank you! By the way everyone, the default font is Press Start 2P. It’s almost perfect but a little wide. If you want a narrower font that still has the retro look, there’s VT323. It’s an old terminal type font, but could pass for a video game font and I think it’s more narrow.

There’s other fonts out there but I like sticking to Google Fonts. Not because I like Google. Because it seems reliable and it’s free.

To change the font for this theme you could import the font in your custom CSS box in your appearance admin page. Like this:

@import (css) url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=VT323&display=swap');

html,
body,
pre,
code,
kbd,
samp {
	font-family: 'VT323', courier;
}
