Meridian, the Latest Dripyard Theme

Meet Meridian, the newest Dripyard theme. We’re really excited about this release, as many hours went into Meridian along with updates to our other themes.

Flexibility

My favorite “feature” of Dripyard themes is flexibility. We market each theme toward a specific vertical, but in practice they are highly versatile. You can easily change the look and feel of an entire site by adjusting color schemes, border radiuses, and imagery.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, so we built our site to showcase multiple demos.

Tailored for Drupal Canvas (but works with everything)

Our themes, including Meridian, are built for use with Drupal Canvas and Drupal CMS. We do not just follow best practices. We help create them.

That said, our themes are not exclusive to Canvas. They are built on Drupal’s Single Directory Components architecture, which means they can be used with any layout system, including Layout Builder, Paragraphs, and standard templating.

New components and improvements

In addition to the new theme, we added several new components, including background image, horizontal line, and content card. We also introduced new layout components such as basic section, grid wrapper, and grid cell. When paired with Dripyard’s color system, the possibilities are endless and exciting.

Neonbyte and Great Lakes are not left out

Existing customers do not need to worry. We have updated Neonbyte and Great Lakes to work with all of the new components and features. The themes and component libraries continue to grow and improve.
