Imminent Dark Variation

The Imminent Dark variation is optimised to be easy to use with large dark backgrounds. The transparent sidebar elements means that it’s super easy for you to create a whole new look simply by adding a new dark background image.

A very simple theme, but one that we think would be perfect for a “coming soon” or pre-launch page. Imminent offers a different approach to a static “coming soon” page, with a live activity feed in the sidebar. We’ve also made it super easy to integrate with Campaign Monitor, Feedburner etc.

What to Look forward to in 2012

We’ve finally decided how we’re going to move forward and stay competitive while still providing fresh new themes to our existing customers, so from 2012 you’ll see us release smaller “mini bundles” of brand new themes. Each mini-bundle will be created around a specific style or subject, so you’ll get 3-5 themes in one mini-bundle that are closely related.

For our existing customers, one or two themes from each mini-bundle will be added to the main bundle, you’ll also be able to buy the mini-bundles much cheaper than everybody else.

Thanks again for the great year. We really appreciate it.

BundleHunt is live once again, and for a few more days you’ll be able to grab any 3 WPBundle themes as part of their special Holiday Mega Bundle. You get 95% of 12 top Mac Apps and Design goodies. The deal ends soon, so grab the deal before it’s too late.

For one week only grab all 12 WordPress Themes + Icons over at MightyDeals. You can pick from either the full bundle with support for $99, the full bundle without support for $77 – or if it’s just the icons you are after, that’s 303 IconJar icons for only $12.

Nimble

• Dropped support for WooTumblog functionality (more on this below)
• get_template_part() is now being properly utilized, and incorrect calls now use locate_template()
• Built in Custom Headers and Custom Backgrounds
• Overall code-cleanup and future-proofing

I decided to drop WooTumblog functionality from Nimble for a few reasons. First, I was prompted by a topic in the support forums. The Tumblog functinality provided by WooThemes was not providing a very easy and intuitive experience when adding posts. The Dashboard Widget is not styled like the rest of WordPress, and is not set up to mimic the standardized Post Formats provided by WordPress. It was taking users more time trying to figure out why the Dashboard widget was not working properly than to just go to the “Posts > Add New” screen.

Next, by removing the 3^rd-party Post Format wrapper functionality, the theme becomes a lot more future-proof. Now I am better able to provide support for the theme, as the functionality is 100% built-in to WordPress, not an extra custom layer. WordPress 3.1 also added support for mobile applications to define post formats, so you will likely see the mobile applications add Post Format support in the near future. This along with plans for an updated QuickPress widget in future WordPress release’s means you will soon have a fully integrated experience.

Essence

• get_template_part() is now being properly utilized, and incorrect calls now use locate_template()
• Built in Custom Headers and Custom Backgrounds
• Use built-in archiving for Portfolio Post Type
• Overall code-cleanup and future-proofing
• Extract custom post types, shortcodes, and extraneous theme options into more portable methods

About These Updates

There are a few motivations for these recent theme updates (our next, Practical, should be released soon). The migration from using Theme Options for things like a Custom Logo to using WordPress’s built-in Custom Header functionality stem from my goal of better following WordPress’s development philosophy, as well as trying to prevent the “lock-in” effect on our users.

By forcing a site administrator to set up a WordPress theme (adding a custom logo, favicon, tracking code, HTML-based shortcodes, etc), the site is being built around that specific theme, instead of being built around WordPress. This ties the user down to that theme, and that theme only. Once another theme is activated, their logo, and anything else controlled by Theme Options is possibly lost. The name “Theme Options” implies theme-specific options, but that is not the case in a lot of themes today. Many themes now come bundled with options that are better handled by Plugins. Plugins are not theme-specific, and allow for their additions/changes to be carried from theme to theme. It makes a lot more sense to install a Google Analytics plugin that will work with any theme, rather than having to re-add the code to each theme you switch to.
