The home page is a front page with a lead story, a secondary column and a latest feed. The article is the hero template, and the shop appears inside the story, labelled. Its three presets are Gazette (broadsheet publishers), Folio (glossy magazines), Dispatch (indie zines and newsletters).

Do I need your apps to use Gazette?

No. Gazette is complete on its own. With our apps installed, their widgets use the theme's anchors instead of guessing.

Does Gazette have a dark mode?

Yes. Every Gazette preset ships a dark color scheme next to its light ones, and you assign a scheme to any section, so a dark footer or a dark hero is a setting, not a custom build.

Which of your apps work with Gazette?

Freebies Engine, AI Chat, Quantity Breaks have a named place in Gazette. The other mini apps work too, where they find their place by detection.

How much does Gazette cost?

Price set in the Theme Store. We do not set or show a price here.

The Gazette design system

Everything a preset is made of, from the settings and tokens the theme ships. Change a preset and these values change with it.

Color schemes

Four schemes per preset, assigned to any section. The ratios are computed from the hex values the theme ships: text is held to 4.5:1 and interface parts to 3:1 at build time, and a preset that fails does not compile.

Elevation: Gazette is flat. Surfaces are separated by hairline rules and a quiet tile fill, not by shadows, and focus is a ring.

Icons

Line icons on a 20 px grid, drawn in the text color with one stroke width, so they follow every color scheme and need no icon font.

Your apps in the Gazette theme

Each of our mini apps where the theme puts it: the Theme Contract v1 slot or anchor, drawn with the theme's own components and tokens. Dashed outlines mark the slot; an empty slot reserves no space in the real theme. Items and prices are sample content.

Each preset has its own colors, type pairing and shape, and four color schemes you assign to any section. Pick one to repaint the demo, the wireframes and the mini apps on this page.

Works with our apps

Gazette is complete without any app. With one installed, its widget uses the theme's named places (Contract v1), and where the theme has its own block it steps aside.

Accessible and fast by contract

Accessible by contract
Built to WCAG 2.2 AA. Every color scheme is checked at build time for text at 4.5:1 and interface parts at 3:1, and a preset that fails does not compile. Keyboard paths, reduced motion and forced colors are part of the checklist.
Fast by budget
The blocking stylesheet and every script have a size budget that the build enforces. Motion is native CSS with a static fallback, and each feature loads its own small file only where it is used.
Complete without apps, faster with them
The Theme Store listing and demo store carry no app. Our widgets use the theme's named anchors (Contract v1), so there is no guessing and no overlap.

Stylesheet budget

Gazette's blocking stylesheet is budgeted at 10,500 bytes over the wire (brotli), 85% of the 12,288 byte ceiling. Every script is a separate file under 3,072 bytes, loaded only where its feature is used.
