It is no fun having to edit a YAML file just to change color.

Today we are introducing theme config definitions - config.def.yaml, a file to describe theme configuration options. It helps us display an easy-to-use user interface to edit theme configurations instead of a boring YAML file. This file is created by our theme developers.

Before:

Now:

All our official themes have been updated with the new config.def.yaml files. We have also copied config.def.yaml to all the blogs created before today when possible.

You can also check the themes repository for the config.def.yaml file for your theme.

If you are a theme developer, you can use our Config Tool to create a config.def.yaml file.

Happy blogging!
