Thesis Framework 1.6 Guide
This site is now on the brand spanking new Thesis 1.6. Here’s everything you need to know:
Quick Overview of Thesis 1.6 Features
- Design & Color Option Changes – That’s right now instead of taking the time to edit the color of a font or a background by editing your custom.css file, now you can do it directly from your design panel in Thesis. There is also an option to automatically throw a cool shadow effect on the body of your theme just by simply checking a box!
- Integration of Dropdown Menus – This has always been a big request of Thesis and now it’s finally here. I’ve not had a chance to experiment much with it yet, but you can now create your CSS only dropdown navigation from within the Thesis design panel. Another feature is the fact that you have to full ability to edit the anchor text of all your links in the menu and also easily change colors and fonts.
- Custom File Editor – Thesis now also has a built in custom file editor with syntax highlighting so that you can now custom edit your files right in the admin area without having to change a file and then upload it to your site.
- Other Changes – The IE only specific styles are now cache friendly where they haven’t been in the past. The frames around post images and thumbnails have been fixed so that they actually work. Finally the image rotator folder has been moved from the root of Thesis directly into the custom folder.
There’s a lot more finer details in making the product rock solid and completely awesome that you can find on the development blog here.
Upgrading Instructions – If you’re upgrading from a previous version best instructions (with screenshots and code snippets for the new nav menu) I’ve found so far are by Greg.
Overall, the upgrade is well worth it… I’m already looking forward to Thesis 2.0 now!
Discount – If you have yet to purchase Thesis or are looking to upgrade to the developer package, my thesis discount is still on if you’re interested.
I had a dream to make my own company, however I didn’t have enough of money to do that. Thank God my close friend said to use the credit loans. Thus I used the sba loan and realized my old dream.
