MistyLook 3.8 beta – now available

admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 05:51:54 +0000

Most Popular WordPress Theme

MistyLook is the most popular WordPress Theme that I ever created. This theme has been installed on hundreds of thousands of websites.
It has been holding up the top position on the most popular themes at wordpress.com. If you have a wordpress.com account, you can go to Appearance > Themes > and click on Popular and you would see MistyLook at the top.

New Features for the upcoming release

Wider than before
The previous version of MistyLook was developed mainly for people using 800×600 resolution. Now that most of the users have bigger monitors, I have made the theme to use more screen estate, now at 980px wide.

Support for changing the site’s background with WordPress 3.0
WordPress 3.0 now provides an option to customize the site’s background right within the Appearance tab.
MistyLook 3.8 beta supports this feature.

Support for custom menus in WordPress 3.0
Another cool thing that WordPress 3.0 supports is to have a custom user defined menu for the top navigation. The user can choose any of their pages / posts / categories or even external links for their menu.
I am still working on getting this integrated with the MistyLook Theme.

Question For you

There are so many occasions, people have requested me about how to hide the “search box” from the top menu, because it was overlapping one of the items in their top navigation.
I am trying to decide if I can remove it from the top menu all together. Please let me know your thought on that by clicking on the poll below.

Any other Feature requests?

Do you have any other features that you would like to be included in the next version. Please let us know in the comments section.

I just added a new translation file for Czech, on the MistyLook Theme Page.

Enjoy.

GreenFlower Theme updated

admin — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:59:53 +0000

There was a recent request in the support forums, to add the custom image header feature to the GreenFlower theme.
I added that feature to the GreenFlower theme and am releasing it to all of you now.

I also added support for “threaded comments” and “floating images within the post“.
Enjoy!

I am trying to explain my views on WordPress Themes need not be GPL licensed. Let me know your thoughts.

My Theme Club is coming…

admin — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:58:36 +0000

Just wanted to let you guys know, a theme club from me, is going to be a reality and will be launched within a month.
Please stay tuned for more updates on this.

Thanks for your continued support.

wpdesigner.com is up for sale!

SP (Small Potato), in my opinion, is one of the very few WordPress Theme authors who has created good looking themes for WordPress, adhering to the web standards, through his popular website WPDesigner.com.
He has also taken the time to write some good tutorials and tips.

He is not just popular because of his work. He is famous for his honest opinions. He has been very upfront with his opinions, whoever the other person might be.

He has decided to sell his website and move on to something else. I wish him all the success and happiness in whatever he chooses to do.

If you have enough money, you should go ahead and make your bid right now.

How long it takes to write a post !???

admin — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 01:01:09 +0000

The people at WordPress.org are supposed to release their new version of WordPress, version 2.5 today.

And all loyal fanboys are waiting to see it being announced but there is no word from them yet. Even people from WeblogToolsCollection did not know that it is not coming out today.

I think they are still no ready to release this version, but how long it takes to write a single line post telling the loyal people that it is not going to be released today.
~~It is a highly irresponsible behavior, I would say.~~
Update : It seems March 10th was a tentative date and is not written in stone. Anyway I will stop waiting for any release hereafter.

What are your thoughts?

Theme Club : Your ideas welcome !

admin — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 21:24:15 +0000

I am planning to launch a theme club, where people will be able to become a member for an annual fee and download the themes that I release for the club.

I would like to get your views on this, before I go further.

How much I should charge as a membership fee for an year? How do you like the licensing terms for those club themes? Should it still require a link back from the footer?

I am planning to give one new theme every month for the club members.

Please pour in your 2 cents.
