Minima as you surely guessed is a minimal themelet for Morph. Perfect for a personal or business portfolio to showcase your work with ease using Joomla articles.

Minima is a themelet that boasts lovey textures and varying dark and lite backgrounds with varying module styles and layouts making it easy to change the look of your content areas.



About the demo

Taking a look at the Minima demo you will notice that even though the design is rather simple, there is a fair amount of functionality, most notably on the home page.

You will see a header article slider, multiple articles slider, testimonials slider. These modules are all instances of our new Morph news module that is used throughout the Minima demo.

Notable features

As with every themelet, there are some things that are different. How we implement various features of Morph varies. Here are some of the things Minima offers.

Demo Quick Start

Use the demo quick start to build your website. Once installed, you will have an exact replica of the demo. Once you have this, all you need to do is add your own content to setup a portfolio showcase.

The demo is also setup to help you easily publish any articles on your site on the home page in the form of a header slider, articles slider and testimonials slider.

Quicksand Portfolio

The portfolio page on the demo is using the filterable layout option of the Morph news module. This uses the super slick jquery quicksand plugin to filter the Joomla articles.

Date badges

Minima makes use of a feature we added to Morph a few versions back but never really put to use ourselves. This is the flexible date feature in Morph.

You will notice the date badges on the articles pages and home page. The date format we needed is added using Morph’s shorthand date tags which are set in Configurator.

[dayofmonth1] [month1] The badges markup is then modified using the themelet html overrides which allow for changing any Joomla html overrides without actually touching Morphs core code.

Typography

Minima certainly boasts the most comprehensive typography of any themelet we have released to date. This will make it very easy to keep your content looking professional no matter the type of html.

Block styles

Minima has an all new and extremely refined block and module styles that can be applied to Morphs building blocks.

What is a block style? It is a style that can be applied to any morph building block to change its base color. Notice on the minima demo how some of the blocks have a dark background (footer) and some a lite background.

Module Styles

Module styles are now tightly integrated with block styles to help change the coloring of the blocks contents which are always added using Joomla modules. If you change a block to use a dark style, then you can change the modules to adapt to it by applying the relevant block style.

Module styles can also be applied to the tabs and accordions. Applying a dark module style to tabs, will make the tabs content area dark with lite text.

Module Output

Minima has 2 module output modes. Minimal and Detailed. The minimal style is very simple and contains no borders or backgrounds. The detailed style adds a border and background to the modules.

Throughout the demo you will see these 2 variations. The sidebar on the right for example uses the detailed style for the testimonials. The modules in the bottomshelf (above the footer) use the minimal style.

Being able to switch between these outputs combined with change their styles, makes it very easy to have a variety of different looking modules.
