I’ve looked through the existing themes available for Grav but can’t quite find a perfect match for the new WordPress Sydney theme https://wordpress.org/themes/sydney/ which is powering the theme of this really well done site by Winston Moy http://www.winstonmoy.com/ which I want to try and emulate for my own blog. I really like how he has bright and bit images that rotate through recent posts.
of the currently available Grav themese I found SoraArticle and Ceevee to be the closest. Ceevee has the large full screen image but not the scrolling posts like SoraArticle. Is there a Grav theme that I missed that might be closer to the Sydney theme? If not can a wordpress theme be converted to Grav?
Note that Quark will be part of the Grav 1.4 release, which is in beta. You can download and explore a beta build at https://getgrav.org/downloads (scroll down).
Found and installed the Helium theme/skeleton which is the demo for Gantry 5 system and it is almost perfect. If you go into the Gantry 5 settings for the main area you can enable autoplay for the carousel.
