Skylith | Multipurpose Gutenberg WordPress Theme 1.3.7

Skylith | Multipurpose Gutenberg WordPress Theme represents a significant shift from the "Elementor-first" themes and kits we’ve discussed. Developed by _nK, it is a block-based powerhouse designed specifically to utilize the native WordPress Gutenberg editor as its primary page builder.

It is highly rated for being one of the most "future-proof" themes because it doesn't rely on heavy third-party builders to create complex, high-end layouts.

📋 Key Features & Design

Gutenberg at Core: Unlike themes that "support" Gutenberg, Skylith is built on it. It uses blocks for everything, resulting in much cleaner code and faster loading speeds than Elementor-based sites.

30+ Multi-Concept Demos: Includes a massive library of one-click imports for agencies, photographers, minimalist portfolios, architecture firms, and shops.

Visual Portfolio Editor: Comes with a proprietary visual editor specifically for portfolio layouts, allowing for Masonry, Grid, and Justified styles without external plugins.

Ghost Kit Integration: It often comes bundled with (or recommends) the Ghost Kit plugin, which extends Gutenberg with advanced blocks like sliders, grids, and progress bars.

📄 Unique Portfolio & Blog Layouts

Skylith excels in creative presentation, offering more variety in "Single Project" views than almost any other multipurpose theme:

20+ Portfolio Styles: Including Split-screen, Video Work, Showcase Minimal, and Wide Carousel.

10+ Blog Archive Variations: Ranging from classic sidebars to modern dark-themed masonry grids.

6 Header Styles: Fully customizable through the WordPress Customizer, including "Fullscreen," "Off-screen," and "Side" menus.

🛠️ Technical Requirements

WordPress 5.0+: Required to use the Block Editor (Gutenberg) functionality.

Ghost Kit (Plugin): Highly recommended to unlock the full layout potential of the theme.

Visual Portfolio (Plugin): Often bundled to manage the advanced gallery features.

WooCommerce: Fully supported with a clean, minimal "retail" aesthetic.

💡 Pro-Tip: The "Visual Grid"

Skylith includes a Responsive Grid Editor. When you are editing in Gutenberg, look for the "Grid" block settings. This allows you to set custom column widths for mobile, tablet, and desktop independently—something the default WordPress columns block often struggles with.
