Few months back I release my first contrib theme Light Skeleton, which was base on the Skeleton v2 project. Now I’m happy to announce Drupal 8 version of this new theme. While porting the Drupal 8 version of this theme, I decide to improve some of the missing features from the Drupal 7 version. These features include a modern lightweight menu and new regions to the theme.

New Menu

Light Skeleton now have a very sexy lightweight menu, which is sticky on mobile and desktop.

Only in D8 Currently this is only available in Drupal 8 version of the project. For more information about this menu been ported back to Drupal 7 see this issue - https://www.drupal.org/node/2605676

The Drupal 7 version did not have a sidebar as initial development for the Drupal 8 we added some two new region sidebar left and sidebar right.
