RetroGeek Reloaded
A extremely lightweight, minimal and fast retro theme for WordPress.
This theme is built by an idiot who can't code in PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS. Here be dragons!

Why "Reloaded"?

This is a fork of the RetroGeek theme (WordPress theme) with some improvements. The original theme was made by Tuxlog.

Original description (from Tuxlog)

The idea to create this theme was born while watching the movie "Wargames" with its old computers and funny terminals. It is of course of interest for nerds and geeks to blog about their daily business or remembering good old time back in the 80s when we use those green shining terminals.

The theme is lightweight and somehow minimal without any special and shiny features but with some small geeky highlights like ASCII-Art header, logo and a terminal news ticker for the headlines and as a widget. It is responsive has up to three widgets in the footer but only one-column. You can configure the theme using the customiser to change colors and tun on or off header features.

Please have the follwing things in mind when using the theme:

  • Onecolumn, there are no sidebars left and right but there are three widgetareas in the footer
  • The ASCII-Art header will switch to text when the device-width gets smaller
  • All theme specific settings are in the customizer
  • Using a custom header image will replace the blog-title
  • If comments are closed no comments, pings or trackbacks are displayed and no hint about closed comments is displayed intentionally

FAQ

You can change it in the WordPress customizer. You can select either a builtin or your own ASCII art or disable the feature completely.

I can't see the ASCII art header, am I doing something wrong?

Don't worry! Your device's resolution is too small to display the ASCII art logo correctly. Simply view your website on a device with a bigger screen.

Can I use the ticker in the footer too?

Yes. RetroGeek Reloaded has a ticker widget builtin, simply drag it to your footer like any other widget.
