Fluid is a Material Design theme for Hexo that provides an elegant, modern appearance for static blogs.
The theme solves the problem of creating visually cohesive blog sites by applying Material Design principles to Hexo's templating system. It works by replacing Hexo's default theme with a pre-built Material Design interface that handles layout, styling, and component rendering across blog pages, archives, and article views.
Fluid suits developers and writers who want a polished, contemporary blog without building custom CSS or templates. It works best for Hexo sites running version 5.0 or later. The theme can be installed via npm for newer Hexo installations or downloaded as a release archive for manual setup. Installation requires copying a configuration file to the blog directory and updating the main Hexo configuration to specify Fluid as the active theme.
The project maintains steady development activity with regular commits across multiple months. Documentation is actively maintained with guides covering theme configuration and article setup. The project provides a live demo blog showcasing the theme's capabilities and appearance.
