Aqua: a free Mac-inspired Ghost theme

By Ahmad Ajmi

I made a new Ghost theme called Aqua. It is free, open source, and inspired by the visual language of early Mac OS X.

The idea was to make a publication feel like a desktop interface. The homepage has Finder-style columns for tags and stories. The preview changes as you browse.

Posts open in a focused document window. The Dock keeps Home, Search, Latest, and membership actions close by. The Latest page shows the archive as a simple visual grid.

Aqua supports Ghost 6. It includes memberships, search, comments, custom fonts, and responsive layouts. It uses Ghost templates, plain CSS, and vanilla JavaScript.

Try the live demo or download Aqua from GitHub.
