First WordPress Theme

Filed in: News & Updates Jump to comments

glossyblue.gif After a long wait, my first WordPress theme, GlossyBlue is finally released! It is a glossy hi-tech theme with some of my Web 2 Mini icons. Check it out if you are looking for a WordPress theme for your blog. This is my first WP theme, so let me know if you find any bug, although I have tested on most major browsers (Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera) on both PC and Mac.

Any questions, comments, or suggestions regarding this theme, please use the comment form below to post your message.

    Hey I have got some question regarding design matter, somehow might not be just design, it’s about postscript printing, if you do have the knowledge.
    1. Do I really need to print my artwork with postscript if I’m just using a laser jet printer? Does it make any different? For your info I print directly through Illustrator.

    Great theme. Now I’m using it too. Two questions:

    I would like to remove borders on image links. I’ve commented the border lines on img.center, img.left at style.css, but it doesn’t works.

    On the other hand, how can I add an edit link to posts, I’ve tried adding beside of the_category() call at index.php. In other themes it works, but here seems not.

    Thanks, I hope you are understanding my poor english.

    Pierre - that is “content-bg.gif” at #page rule.

    BatU - to remove the image border, add this to style.css:


    img {
    border: none;
    }

    To add the edit post link, add this to single.php (right after <?php the_content(); ?>):


    <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ''); ?>

    Hi Nick,

    I luv ur theme, it is really great! However I found three minor minor “flaws” in the CSS.

    When there is no next or previous page, your theme still shows the green arrow.

    Just adding “a” to the end of .previous-entries and .next-entries does the trick (then .previous-entries a {… and .next-entries a {…)

    The other one is in h1 where you refer to header-icon.gif which does not come with the images.

    The third “flaw” is the #nav which you do not use at all…

    Again, really great and thanks for sharing your theme (I converted it to 3 columns).

    Hello :)

    Grats on your first (and nice) theme! I just had a tiny question… is this theme compatible with the Wordpress widgets? I’ve made some adjustments on my current theme, which I want to use on your theme as well :)

    Thank you in advance, and

    I’m using your theme too and it’s gotten me several compliments. My blog (in Dutch) is about Macs, Education and Technology and it compliments especially the Mac aspect of what I’m writing about in my Blog.
    I’ve started blogging just a short while ago and I’ve been searching extensively for a quality theme. Once I discovered Glossy Blue I knew what theme to use.

    Well, that’s just a long version of: thank you for this beautiful theme.
    :)
