Herald

Publication-style blog theme for Dune — design inspired by Casper, Dune-native (not a port).

Demo: https://themes.getdune.org/herald

Tags: dune-theme, blog, publication, inspired

Install

dune theme:install jsr:@dune/theme-herald@1.0.0 --activate

Or by hand, in config/site.yaml:

themes:
  - name: herald
    src: jsr:@dune/theme-herald@1.0.0

theme:
  name: herald
  src: jsr:@dune/theme-herald@1.0.0

Dark masthead, full-width home hero with optional background image, excerpt feed with author lines and cover thumbnails, archives, search, and light/dark with an OS preference fallback. Config covers color_scheme (default blue / Casper sky), optional scheme_switcher, hero fields, author defaults, and footer_text — see the live demo posts for a walkthrough.

Templates

Template	Notes
default	Plain page
post	Title, author/date, optional cover
blog	Excerpt feed (home + /blog)
archives	Posts grouped by year / month
search	Form search over Dune /api/search
error	Themed 404 / 500

Home hero lives in the layout (not a separate template).

Not a port of Casper. For a near-identical upstream experience, use a faithful port from the dune-themes catalog when available.
