Template Details
hexo-theme-smash is a theme for Hexo static blogs, with the repository description "A colorful hexo theme," emphasizing a colorful visual style. The theme uses Pug as its template engine, and installation requires additionally installing hexo-render-pug. The README's process is to first initialize the blog with hexo init and install dependencies, then clone the theme repository into themes/hexo-theme-smash, and finally change the theme field in the blog root _config.yml from landscape to hexo-theme-smash. The README explicitly states support for IE 11 and above. The repository provides an online demo page, so you can view the actual effect before deciding whether to use it. The code is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons need to be checked separately for their licenses. The repository was last updated in 2020, and the materials do not specify which page templates, configuration options, or plugin dependencies the theme includes; before use, you should read the repository files yourself to confirm.
