Web2.0* Version 1.7.0 Available

To celebrate the new website I’ve also released the latest version (1.7.0) of the theme.

New Features

• Full i18n support - this means that you can create a translation for the theme. Big thanks goes to Christoph Voigt for his hard work in getting this done.
• Print Stylesheet - the theme will now render in an easy to read format when any of the pages are printed.

As this release is a MAJOR RELEASE if you are planning on upgrading then please make note of any custom changes you have made to any of the files before updating.

Web2.0* 1.5 Available

I can happily announce that Web2.0* version 1.5 is now available for download.

Here’s a summary of the improvements, fixes, etc:

1. Options Page
   This took up most of the development time. It meant that all the stylesheets had to be edited, along with creating the actual options available (of which there are 41!) Click the thumbnail to view a cropped screenshot.
   - Font options
   - Colour options
   - Change layout from fluid to fixed
2. Bugs
   - Images that are taller than the content will no longer cause the layout of the post meta data and comments to wig-out.
3. Miscellaneous
   - I’ve removed support for Lightbox as it was causing the CSS to be invalid.
   - All the public viewable icons have been replaced with png. This is to aid transparency when the theme’s background colours are changed. For visitors how might still be using Internet Explorer 6 I’ve used transparent gifs - this may look odd if the theme’s background colour is changed to a dark colour. I may try and sort out a fix for this at a later date.
   - I would still like to get the theme i18n compliant, but am not willing to commit to a time-scale. If there is anyone out there who would like to help with this then please do get in touch.

On a final note - This is the final major release of Web2.0* - I will only be updating the theme with fixes as and when bugs are found and reported. Please do not request personal enhancements, etc. My free-time is very limited and I need to concentrate on my paying free-lance work. Thank you for your understanding and more importantly your continued support - it is much appreciated.
