Template Details
hexo-theme-leedom is a theme for Hexo static blogs, positioned as a clean style. The README states that its styling references Evan You's blog and that it is derived from Hexo-Theme-Oranges. The theme is provided as a standalone repository; it can be cloned into a Hexo project's themes directory or installed via npm, after which you enable it by setting the theme field to leedom in the site root _config.yml.
For configuration, the README gives two types of settings: add the search path, field, and content fields in the site root _config.yml, and control the search toggle and placeholder text in the theme directory's _config.yml. The repository does not list further theme options, page types, or dependency versions in the README; before use, it is advisable to check the configuration files inside the theme directory and the repository documentation directly.
The license is MIT, permitting free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code; when distributing, the copyright and license notice must be retained. Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate verification of their respective licenses.
