themes VS modus-themes

According to the maintainer of that, as you can see in the Q&A section on that page, they use a theme called "Varia" from WordPress's github as their starting point: https://github.com/Automattic/themes/tree/trunk/varia

While I endorse any minimalistic block based approach, I don't think blockbase is nothing more than a bare bones as well. What bugged me the most in _s also bugs me in Blockbase - it has "too little of everyhing", it's less than minimum. It's better than "too much of everything" (which is the biggest issue with most of the WP themes out there) but it doesn't help. Also, in my personal opinion stey they still lack in SCSS quality-wise. While there's not a lots of code it's still too messy and complicated for my preferences. As a full on CSS guy with the most minimal approach I appreciate functional, fast yet working style sheet. You can see what I mean when you compare the button block in blockbase (here) and in Air-light (here).

If you want to tinker with the new stuff then check out Blockbase. It's basically the FSE centric replacement for the old underscores theme. Setup a local WP environment (e.g. DevKinsta or localwp) and clone the GH theme folder into your project.

That might not be difficult to do it yourself. Modus themes for example have code mappings, with a different coloration for code literals. In that file [1] for example, bg-main has the hex value of #000000, total black. If you want some part of the code to disappear, make it the same value. You could make builtins or constants #000000, and they will not be visible in the source file.

You can create different themes, like a comment theme, in which every part of the code is invisible (i.e. hex value black) except for the part you want visible, comments in that case. Then when you want everything visible again, you toggle the loaded theme.

I don't know if i will create such themes myself, my github account is on github/pramatias. I may upload something in the future, or may not.

Modus Themes

Gitlab repo of the themes OR its mirror on Github.

There were some issues when modus-themes-inhibit-reload was set to nil by default, that loading the theme for the first time took longer, because it ended up loading the theme more than once. See https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/-/issues/213.

You should open an issue here for visibility and perhaps it can be addressed in the theme. Include some screenshots and also the output of c-u c-x = to see what face is being used. There is a wealth of information at the gitlab site below with a link to a manual for the theme and customizations. https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/modus-themes/

It's modus-vivendi, the dark version of the modus-themes by u/protesilaos :) It's a great theme, very customizable too ! The light version of the modus themes is also great
