Suffusion 2.2.2 is Now Live

Good news for people asking for a narrower main page – I brought it down to 1000px. The difference is imperceptible, but users concerned about low-res monitors can now breathe easy. In a subsequent release I am going to make the width configurable.

I also put in a few other features:

1. Dynamic gradient images in the header
2. Ability to add some more styles, stylesheets and JavaScript code without modifying the files – I have some plugins that allow you to define a custom stylesheet, which needs to be present in your theme’s directory. I found it a bit of a hassle, having to manually tweak the files whenever I upgraded the theme. This feature helps you tackle this kind of a scenario.

Current development work includes:

1. Configurable overall width – I have been scratching my head about the 2 and 3 column formats for this. In the “Sidebar Setup” section I currently have some options defined for adjustment in case you use 2 sidebars, so I now need to figure out how to tackle this with configurable widths. One option could be to allow the sidebar widths to be configurable as well, but I really don’t want to go there – you can easily end up wrecking cross-browser compatibility.
2. Internationalization – I cannot believe I forgot to mention this in my last post. I am going to tackle internationalization pretty soon.
3. Extra widget areas – I guess I will have a “complete” theme when I provide this.
4. Segregation of comments and trackbacks / pingbacks / tweetbacks

Anyone with any other suggestions?

Cheers.
