Hexo Theme I is a customized Hexo blog theme forked from nexmoe/hexo-theme-nexmoe and SaigyoujiYuyuko233/Saigyou_Ayakashi-HexoTheme, built for personal blogs that want anime-style covers and extended comment controls.
What is Hexo Theme I?
Hexo Theme I is a Hexo static-site theme that merges the design of two upstream themes into a personal "博客自用主题" (personal-use blog theme). It runs on Hexo, the Node.js-based static site generator, and outputs a blog with an archive page, tag layout, and a random anime cover image system. The repository has 20 stars, and its changelog shows it actively syncs with the latest Dev branches of both source themes.
Key Features
- Random anime cover image — The theme displays a random anime illustration as the cover, giving each page visit a different look instead of a fixed banner.
- Archive page tag height limit — On the archive page, tag elements are capped to a maximum height, preventing uneven stretching in the layout.
- Extended Valine configuration — Built-in Valine comment settings are expanded, allowing users to tune more comment options from the theme config rather than editing code.
- Likeme component extension — The "Likeme" interactive component is extended, adding new behavior to the original like-button element.
- Dev version synchronization — The theme tracks the development branches of both upstream themes, pulling in the newest features and fixes.
- I Am I configuration sync — The theme synchronizes settings from the "I Am I" setup, keeping related configuration aligned.
Who is it for?
- Anime-friendly bloggers — They get a ready-made Hexo theme with random anime artwork and a clean archive layout.
- Hexo users who want enhanced comments — They can use the extended Valine configuration without writing custom comment code.
- Theme maintainers — They can fork this theme and benefit from the upstream Dev sync process.
What can you do with Hexo Theme I?
- Launch a personal blog — Install it as your Hexo theme to publish posts with a random cover image and a tag-limited archive page.
- Customize Valine comments — Use the expanded config to tune comment behavior, such as enabling notifications or setting a custom avatar source.
- Track upstream changes — Follow the Dev version sync to keep your blog theme current with the latest upstream commits.
