Version 0.5 of Simplixity is now live

Today I submitted an update to my WordPress theme Simplixity, which improves how images are handled in posts and fixes an issue that existed while no widgets were activated in the admin panel. You can view and download it here.

I’ve already begun working on the next update, which should include an easily customizable client.css file, for making quick changes to the theme.

    Hey Manuel,

    Thanks a lot for your feedback, I’m really glad you like my theme. To add a navigation such as I did for my blog you’ll need to include a <div> tag below header_wrapper in the header.php file. Now you’ll need to style the <div> in the style.css file, these are the values I set for mine.

    #nav_background{
background-color: #888888;
width: 100%;
height: 25px;
vertical-align: top;
border-bottom: 4px solid #444444;
}

    As for the slanted lines behind the header and the footer, you’ll need to create a 10x10px PNG using Photshop or a similar image editor. I just used the pencil tool and held down the shift key to make sure the line was straight. Then I linked it to the body tag in the style.css file.

    body{
background-image: url("img/header_bg.png");
}

    Lastly, the font that I used to design my header is Helvetica. I hope this answers your questions. :)

    Hi, I’ve modified some strings in this theme so that it uses the functions __() and _e() for better localization. I’ve not changed anything about the design of the theme.

    This is it: http://mran3.terseth.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/myworks/simplixity.7z

    Bye.

    Thanks a lot, Andrés.

    This is something that I set out to do early on but had some issues with the search box not functioning properly, (onfocus and onblur, especially).
