Yay, I can’t wait to try it out!
Matt – Beautiful skin. What does the “alternate homepage display” look like, and do you have a demo of it? Does the skin allow all the column number, and width flexibility that Thesis offers?
Also would there be any issues de-widgetizing the footer if not needed – I assume that would just involve removing with footer widget code? I prefer slim full width footers like you have on this site.
Beautiful new design you have here BTW.
The “alternate teasers” option just displays one teaser per row instead of two. (See this screenshot)
And no, I can’t forsee any limitations with width or column choices. I’m using it on a 2 column site right now (matthewlyle.com) and it works fine. The only complications come in with the tabbed widget. You have to make sure your one sidebar is wide enough to accommodate, but 250px works and is a reasonable size. You’ll also have to make sure to set the featured post slider width correctly, as it’s set to 580px by default. But that’s very easy and there’s instructions included for doing that.
For the footer you could just not put any widgets in and it will be small. If you want to add things to it and still keep it slim then yeah you’d have to change the footer function code. It’s not too hard to find in the custom-functions.php, but if you have any trouble just shoot me a message back and I can give you the exact code to change.
Thanks for the comments. Let me know if you have any other questions.
OK thanks for the response, I’m going to buy it…

Good stuff. Don’t hesitate to message me if you need any further assistance regarding the slim footer or anything else.
Considering this theme for a magazine site I’m setting up. Is there a way for you to do a screen shot of this theme using 3 columns? I need to show that to my co-planners. If you could that would be really helpful.
Thanks.
I’ve already got the magazine skin – i was wondering, are there any plans to add new colour schemes? A plain white header would offer a lot of flexibility for those occasions where a png header image can’t be used…
I would like to try this theme before buying
