Changelog
Release history for Aftertype themes and the studio.
Northline
1.0.4 License file
20 October 2026The LICENSE file in the download is now word for word the Northline License on this site, version 1.1.
- LICENSE matches aftertype.studio/legal/licenses/northline-1.1.txt exactly
- No change to templates, styles or settings
1.0.3 Accessibility pass
19 September 2026Every interactive element is now reachable and visible by keyboard, and text meets WCAG AA contrast throughout.
- Contrast-safe text on accent buttons: button text picks black or white automatically, so any accent color passes
- Skip to content link as the first keyboard stop
- Visible focus states on every link, button and field, in light and dark mode
- Heading order and duplicate id fixes
- Larger hit areas: interactive targets are at least 24px, without shifting the layout
- Lighter secondary text, such as footer labels, meta text and placeholders, raised to 4.5:1 contrast
- Links and other accent-colored text keep the accent color only where it reaches 4.5:1 contrast; otherwise the text turns dark and the accent stays in the underline
- Article links stay white in dark mode, with an underline in the same color
- Footer credit now links to the Northline product page; hide it with the .northline-credit class
- Main navigation labelled for screen readers
- Heavier overlay on the Visual Story hero so titles stay legible over light cover photos
- Briefing section on the homepage now numbers from 1
- New: tag a post with the internal tag #contain to fit a screenshot inside its frame instead of cropping it
- Visual Story frame labels are now translatable
