Carrington

What changed in Carrington: updates, fixes, and improvements to the theme.

October 14, 2026 — Update

  • A cleaner Carrington: six colour tokens replace the old accent, secondary and base scales, and every page is now built from section components.
  • A library photo replaces the hero video, and the hero fits the screen with its heading.
  • Lenis smooth scroll, sharper card images, and consistent spacing across every page.
  • Redesigned system pages (overview, colours, buttons, links, typography) in Carrington’s own style, with the overview split into static pages and content collections.
  • Fresh names for attorneys and clients, real image descriptions, placeholder contacts and no external links.
  • Site search, blog tags and tag pages, and the scrollbar plugin are gone.
  • Rewritten AGENTS.md and design skill.

September 3, 2026 — Update

  • Expanded the design system skill at .cursor/skills/carrington-design/SKILL.md: typography, color usage, spacing rhythm, component conventions, and do/don’t rules extracted from the theme’s own code, so AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) build UI that matches the theme.
  • AGENTS.md links the design rules in every variant.
