Kacang is a minimal starter theme designed for developers who need a clean, functional base for building custom themes on popular content management systems. It strips away unnecessary styling and features to provide only the required files and structure for the platform to recognize and run the theme. This approach is ideal for developers who want full control over their project's front-end without fighting against a pre-built design or complex framework.
Minimal File Structure: Includes only the essential PHP template files (like index.php, style.css, and functions.php) and basic assets needed for the CMS to install and activate the theme correctly. Unstyled Foundation: Delivers completely bare-bones HTML output with minimal CSS, allowing developers to implement their own design and styling from the ground up without having to override existing theme styles. GPL Licensing: The theme is licensed under the GNU General Public License, permitting free use, modification, and distribution, which aligns with common open-source CMS licensing. Derived from Underscores: It is a trimmed-down version of the popular Underscores starter theme, maintaining its robust structural code while removing additional CSS and JavaScript to further reduce complexity. Manual Installation: The theme is installed by manually uploading a compressed .zip file through the admin panel, following standard procedures for adding new themes to a CMS installation.
