Yes, less than a week after the initial release, I’m posting version 2 of my Crown of Daisies style for K2. I really have added some worthwhile features in the past 4 days, though. I went through and cleaned up all the CSS, including some stuff that simply no longer existed in Wordpress 2.1 or K2 0.9. The menu at the top of the header is now the same class as the menu at the bottom, with the ID of menu-top responsible for positioning it at the top. I also added styling to make all posts in the category Quick appear in a smaller font and with a layout generally more fitting to short posts. (This styling doesn’t apply on their individual pages.) The post immediately before this one is a quick post, if you look at the front page.
A similar update to Kyoto Sunset is likely to follow shortly.
A new K2 style is out. You can grab it from here if you like what you see in front of you. I also updated Kyoto Sunset to use Internet Explorer’s alpha filter for transparency in the header.
I’ve also been working on a new frontpage for Uni. You can check it out here. Inspired by Brown University’s website, it uses some of Yahoo’s nice UI libraries for fancy sliding efects. It’s also where I picked up the IE transparency trick.
I’ll probably put up some updates to my design site over the next week, seeing as I have spring break in Maryland and not a whole lot else to do.
Like my current blog theme? Well, it’s up for download now under a Creative Commons license. Requires Wordpress 2 or greater with pretty much any version of K2 that supports WP2.
I might release some more themes and add some more technical info.
I took this photo on the Japan trip this summer while we were driving around Kyoto in a tour bus. It’s pretty difficult to take a good shot on a Japanese highway - there are fences everywhere.
It seems that I make new themes about as often as I post here nowadays… Maybe I should make a directory for my K2 styles.
School has been going well. I wrote some automation for Uni’s alumni reunions gallery: a PHP template for generating gallery pages, and an Automator script to create thumbnails. This should mean that I’ll be done with the project pretty quickly, and maybe I can get on to some more interesting stuff. :P
