11 seyDesign Themes Are Now Open Source
To heck with spring cleaning, we’re going for mid-winter cleaning and chucking out a bunch of old stuff that’s been sitting around collecting dust… well… not chucking out, per say… just giving it away for free now!
That’s right, we have added 11 more themes to the “Free” pile to bring our collection of open source themes to a count of 14.
These 11, newly open sourced themes will continue to be supported for another year. They include: dogPress, Fade, Neato, OS, RetroFilm, Tagg, Tuo, TW001, TW003, TW005 and TW006.
When we open source our themes, we’re spreading the love to you, so please, if you make a better, cooler version of these themes, be sure to share them back with us. These works by seyDoggy are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License.
THEME UPDATE: Sleeker Gets Another Speed Boost for IE6
Well it was back to the drawing scripting board when Tuesdays Sleeker update didn’t quite have all the desired effects I had hoped for. So I took a step back and reworked the code from r2 in hopes that I could gain IE6 load speed another way… and I could… so I did.
Give the update a spin on your favorite IE6 machine and let me know if that does it for you.
Theme Update: Sleeker Speeds up for IE6
Sleeker has had a quick little update to help improve load times for IE6 users. We’ve removed some lines of jQuery that the ol’ beast of a browser was thinking too long and hard about. I should have known better then to make IE6 actually think.
Anyhow, we’ve sped things up a bit for IE6, the senior citizen of the browser world. Get the update here.
THEME UPDATE: TW005 and Creamux Get a Patch
We have two updates for the start of 2010 to fix two little glitches in a pair of themes.
The first is a little trouble with TW005. Internet Explorer 7 — so it seems — is not a fan of letter-spacing and, as such, was acting up when trying to handle successive line breaks. Well… it wasn’t handling them at all… line breaks, that is… and so I fixed it. Go download it now.
The second update goes to Creamux and this really came down to a battle of wills. For a long time now, Creamux has been going head to head and with any JavaScript library that makes use of LightBox — or at least a particular version of it. Creamux was in the right but alas I dare not take the battle any farther. I have changed the single identifier in the Creamux theme that was causing LightBox-like scripts to make big nasty black screens. May virtue rest in peace and let it be known that I fought the good fight… uhh… eh-hem… sorry about that… You can get the update here.
