I know there are some issues that need tidying up in IE 6.0, and I’m sure I missed other things, so comments are open below. Let me know of any bugs/issues, also if you have a favorite widget you want to have styled or some other feature let me know that too.
Image Classes
Trevilian Way is designed on a grid, so there is an underlying structure to the design. It includes several predefined classes to pull images out of the post measure to the right or to the left, or to just float an image left or right. These classes and their functions are listed below.
- left1col: Pulls the image one column to the left.
- right1col: Pulls the image one column to the right.
- right2col: Pulls the image two columns to the right.
- right3col: Pulls the image three columns to the right.
- right4col: Pulls the image four columns to the right.
- left: Floats the image to the left.
- right: Floats the image to the right.
An example of how to use these classes would be:
<img class="right1col" src="/path/to/file.jpg" alt="Image description." />
After a quick glance, the biggest issue I have seen is in the display of the Post Information and Post Navigation rollovers using Firefox on Mac. Part of the field labels are covered when the rollover is displayed.
Regardless of that, I love the grid-layout and the classes you have built in allowing the user to utilize it. Very nice theme David!
Thanks, Will. I’ll look into the rollover issue, I have to confess that I didn’t test Firefox on Mac. Lesson learned!
Hey Dave,
I really love the new design (and I’d love to use it if I get my own hosting plan.)
I noticed only a couple issues. On the Lots ‘O Content page, when you first see the big ‘6′ and the ‘about’ link, they are fine. When I scroll down and then scroll back up, part of the ‘6′ is cut off, as is part of the ‘t’ in ‘about’. I’m running firefox on a mac.
Great job!
Thanks, Michael. That’s been an issue in several browsers. Although it may be more pronounced in Firefox on Mac. I think it has to do with how they’re positioned in CSS. Glad you like it!
Hi, David,
For what it’s worth, I second Michael’s observation, and I’m working in FF 2.0.0.6 on Linux. Interesting note, though: if I scroll, I get that effect; but if I just hit the “Home” key, I don’t. As you say, though, that’s a browser thing most likely.
I really love the attention to detail, the use of color but absence of an overpowering color palette. I haven’t looked at the code or anything yet, but I imagine it’s very elegant.
Thanks for making this available. I think people that put serious labor behind themes are very, very underappreciated. I’m actually going to be covering that soon, but not before I do a serious bit o’ work in me own li’l pad. Arrgh! (a bit late to the pirate party)

I really like this theme and the way everything is laid out. I especially like the info at the bottom so that it doesn’t intrude on the reader.
One thing I noticed was that lists don’t show their markers (I’m using IE7). Unordered lists don’t show a bullet and ordered lists don’t show any numbers. Have you seen this?
It would also be helpful to see how hierarchical categories are displayed. I guess I’ll just have to download it and try it out :-)
It looks beautiful. A simple and attractive theme.i like it!
不错,收藏起来…
Interesting. I’ll have a look at it later. It looks nifty.
I’ve noticed a couple things after testing it.
1. It’s not clear what the different sidebars are for form the Widgets admin page. The first one has a good description, but the rest don’t.
2. Adding more than one widget or a widget with multiple paragraphs, etc. to the “Index Top Right Only” sidebar doesn’t display quite right. I think it’s the 3rd line that doesn’t get a proper line break. I’ve seen this with an RSS widget showing 4 entries and with the WP-UserOnline (from Lester Chan) + Akismet widgets together.
3. Smilies displayed using the Smilies-Themer plugin display with too much space around them and with a border. See Test code formatting post.
4. I’ve already mentioned the list item markers.
There are other things but this should be enough for now. By the way, I’m using IE7. Don’t know about other browsers.
You can see the formatting issues right now on my test blog at http://blogs.dpotter.net/Test.
Thanks,
David
Daniel, thanks for your compliments. That scrolling thing was a nuisance from the start. The elements are positioned absolutely, so I think that is why the scrolling has that effect.
The markup has a little too many “clearers” for my taste, but it was an easy fix for a lot of things so I went with it.
Looking forward to reading the article you mentioned.
Jenny and sofish: Thanks, I’m glad you like it.
David: What operating system are you using? Thanks.
Nice theme. It looks very clean and quite. The blue style is my Lucky-color! ^^ downloading…..
Thanks a lot.
Wonderful theme. Thanks for releasing it.
It will be good if you include some customisation instructions too. Or are they somewhere in the ZIP file?
Great theme!
I’m already modifying it.
Hi David, I appreciate very much this template.
Do you allow me to translate it in italian?
Oops. Sorry for not including that originally. I’m using both Windows Vista and Windows XP.
(PS My long comment is still awaiting moderation :-)
Nice template, but:
1) Can the name of the author of every post be shown automatically?
2) How you can show videos - from youtube, for example?
Thanks!
Nitin: I will be adding some customization instructions in the form of blog posts in the future. Until then I would try the WordPress Support Forums.
Alberto: Go for it!
David (Potter): Thanks for all your testing, I will look at all of these issues in future releases.
Santi: 1) Currently, no, I’ll think about adding that in future releases. 2) See the YouTube Help Center.
Hi David,
Congratulations for this theme, it’s very beatiful.
I have a website about WordPress (pblog.com.br) in portuguese and I would like to translate your Trevilian Way Theme to available to download im my blog. Obvious, keep your credits and link to this page. :)
Thanks.
