Customize Widgets

Always want to assigns icons to the widgets in the sidebar? I show you how it´s done just by adding a few lines to your theme’s CSS. This tutorial is intended for people with basic XHTML / CSS skills.

Structure
Widget ready themes are built in such a way that each widget acts as an item of a bulleted list. So your sidebar HTML will look something like this:

<ul>
 
	<li id="widget1" class="widget widget_1">Widget1 Content</li>
 
 
	<li id="widget2" class="widget widget_2">Widget2 Content</li>
 
 
	<li id="widget3" class="widget widget_3">Widget3 Content</li>
 
</ul>

Hi there. Also liking the Color3 theme? But you don’t like the background? I’ve got some news for you.

Currently I’m working on a update. In this update there’s a feature in which it’s possible to change the theme background. Thus, this update will come with six colorful backgrounds.

I’m debugging at the moment.  I trust it will be available soon.

WordPress – functions.php

functions

Functions.php is a little known wordpress template file. Not many themes take advantage of it but , used properly, it can be incredibly powerful. The file can be used as a way to add your own functions to wordpress themes (hence the name).

One of the common misconceptions, at least based upon my experience with a past wordpress tips and tricks post, is that editing functions.php involves changing core wordpress files – meaning there will be issues when you upgrade wordpress.

I am against changing core files in wordpress. This makes upgrading a nightmare.

What functions.php does is let you create functions you can reuse in the theme. It works like a plugin file, being loaded when the theme is first loaded. You can then use the functions inside for anything you choose.  You can also use functions.php as to implement theme control panel pages.

And how do you make use of functions.php? It couldn’t be simpler.

  1. Create a file called functions.php in your theme folder.
  2. Add functions to it.

The file automatically gets included into the theme, you don’t have to do anything.

color3
It took some time, blood and tears but finally Color3 theme is approved by WordPress.org. From today it is categorized under the Free Themes Directory on wordpress.org.

Before approval the WordPress team pointed me at some bugs in my Color3 theme. I’m thankful for their support and patience. They found every little bug and more.  Still, there are some parts of the theme I’d  like to change. So look out for updates so now and then.

My expectations are high. I guess the Color3 theme will be more popular then the  MMystique theme .  Hopefully it will reach thousand downloads within days.

Time will tell.

Het thema is ook weer geupload naar WordPress.org maar (nog) niet goedgekeurd. Een link naar de download volgt binnenkort!
