<\/a>What is Hadron?<\/h2>\n

Hadron<\/span> is more than a modern and customizable Grav<\/a> theme and skeleton. On the one hand, it is optimized for beginners to quickly create a simple website, but on the other hand, it is also suitable for professionals who want to use Hadron as a foundation for a complex website with self-developed functions.<\/p>\n

The Hadron theme is based on Quark2<\/a>. It enhances Quark2 with additional features and customization options Quark2 doesn't support. There are also new page templates and other elements that are not part of Quark2. If you are already using Quark or Quark2, you can easily switch to Hadron by installing the Hadron theme and changing the theme in the Grav configuration.<\/p>\n

<\/a>What is the difference between the Hadron Skeleton & Theme?<\/h2>\n

Hadron<\/span> comes in 2 variants: as a theme and as a skeleton.<\/p>\n

The theme is a modular part of Grav. Similar to plugins, themes can be installed more or less freely. Depending on the theme, there are different types of pages that can be used, as well as other options to edit the behavior of the page.<\/p>\n

The skeleton is a larger part of Grav. It includes the entire \/user<\/code> folder, which acts as the customizable part of a website made with Grav, including the Hadron theme itself. More precisely, this includes pages, configurations, plugins, themes, and possibly also accounts and other data.<\/p>\n

Thus, the skeleton can be used as a ready-made template for a website, which can be edited and published directly. The theme, however, requires an existing page.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Should I use the Skeleton or the Theme?<\/h2>\n

Depending on the use case, it is better to use the skeleton or the theme.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Why the Skeleton?<\/h3>\n

You should use the Hadron skeleton in the following cases:<\/p>\n
