Building a theme from scratch: starter templates — follow-up

Bought a theme lately? Share where — marketplaces vary wildly in quality.

My current stack is GeneratePress plus a small custom plugin for tweaks.

Dark mode via prefers-color-scheme is easier than I expected.

I have been test-driving lightweight themes and the speed difference is dramatic.

GeneratePress + hooks is my go-to as well.

Astra’s starter templates saved me days on a client job.

Thanks for sharing, saved me a lot of time.

Nice thread, following for the replies.

prefers-color-scheme plus a manual toggle covers everyone.

Agreed, keep the parent theme untouched and override in the child.

Good point, I had not thought of it that way.
