Testing Out Twenty Nineteen

I’ve become a bit of a fan of Gutenberg over the last several months. So when the upcoming Twenty Nineteen theme was announced earlier this week I had to give it a shot as soon as possible. I love kicking the tires on a new default WordPress theme before all the bugs are ironed out.

Twenty Nineteen will feature Gutenberg at launch so theoretically all the core blocks will work as expected so developers like myself can refer back to it’s code as an example of how to build a compatible theme.

My hacking to do list

• Create a Child Theme
• Figure out a way to customize the blue overlay on featured images
  
• Perhaps create a Gutenberg block or Customizer setting to adjust the color settings
• Submit results to the community

Once complete I may be able to create a presentation for my local meetup.
