Native is a free parent theme to use as a framework or as a base for child theme of your upcoming projects. It was thought to be a solid foundation for WordPress themes while remaining lightweight and versatile thanks to the few essential features included.
Native uses HTML close tag and not XHTML ones. So a breakpoint would be written <br> and not <br />.
You can use XHTML syntax anyway but the MIME type must be set to XML. Pay attention that XML has strict validation rules.
Native is also responsive and adapts to most of the mobile devices currently in use.
Native is using Genericons icon set by Automattic which is distributed for free under the GPL license.

The file structure of the theme differs slightly from the basic one provided by wordpress.org, but simply as a matter of order. Below is a list of files and folders related to Native explanation.

  • ASSETS/
  • CUSTOMS/
  • INCLUDES/
  • LANG/
  • TEMPLATES/
  • style.css
  • changelog.txt
  • license.txt
  • readme.txt
  • screenshot.png
  • 404.php
  • comments.php
  • footer.php
  • functions.php
  • header.php
  • index.php
  • loop.php
  • sidebar.php
  • sidebar-footer.php

The files not in bold are the ones commonly provided by a wordpress.org theme. Please refer to the official documentation for their definition.
We’ll analyze additional files of Native instead.
The “assets” folder contains all the parts of the structure of the theme as grafic styles css, images and js effects.
The “customs” folder contains all customizations of the theme and is actually an extension of the functions.php file. In this folder are uploaded all the files useful in setting the theme and so it is here that will be set the features supported by the theme previously seen together with the definition of sidebars, hooks, etc. …
In “includes” can be found some files (two in the current version) that should be available to use or diversified only. An example is the page 404.php that includes only head.php and foot.php, instead of header.php and footer.php which contain superfluous code for the page in question.
Inside “lang” folder take place files for the localization/translation of the site. Use default.php to create a new translation of the theme.
Finally “templates” folder brings together the template files used in the theme. For a cleaner workplace you can continue using this folder for your personal template files.
