Themes

Eclipse 1.2.0 is now available for Geeklog.

This release is an important milestone for the project. Eclipse started as a modern, responsive child theme based on Denim, but version 1.2.0 goes much further. It improves the administration experience, strengthens compatibility with Geeklog 2.2.2, introduces better interoperability with plugins, expands Menu integration and makes theme updates safer.

The project is available on GitHub:

The Eclipse theme for Geeklog reaches an important milestone with version 1.1.0.

The first version was mainly a concept: an experiment showing what a more modern Geeklog interface could become.

Eclipse 1.1.0 is different. It is now a practical theme designed to modernize real Geeklog websites while keeping the CMS, its permissions, URLs, forms and plugin architecture intact.

For site owners maintaining long-running Geeklog installations, this means it is now possible to significantly improve the user experience, administration interface and technical presentation of the site without replacing Geeklog itself.

Over the past 40 to 50 days, a remarkable amount of development has taken place around Geeklog.

What started as an effort to modernize a few plugins and improve compatibility with Geeklog 2.2.2 gradually became something much broader: updating important parts of the ecosystem, improving development practices, reviving major plugins and exploring new ways for Geeklog components to work together.

Borrowing the spirit — but not the official program — of Google Summer of Code, we could call this period our own:

Geeklog Summer of Code 2026.

This article is a snapshot of what has happened, what is already usable, what is currently under development, and why this may be a good time for developers and long-time Geeklog users to take another look at the project.
