While writing this article, Candidus is not yet part of the official Ghost marketplace. You can download the latest release from Github. Upload the ZIP file into your Ghost blog under Site -> Theme and you're ready to go.

    Customize it

    Candidus comes with lots of custom settings, most of which are disabled by default. You can enable them under Design & branding -> Customize.

    You can find a full list of custom settings in Candidus' documentation

    💡
    You should also change Ghost's accent color to #bdc5d4, which goes best with the color settings of Candidus
