Official WordPress Themes page, fresh and shiny. I feel like when Neo in the Matrix says “I know kung-fu.” I know javascript. Not really, but normally I stay as far away from JS as humanly possible but I was able to cobble together some pieces to make this work pretty much exactly how I wanted. Thanks to Chris Messina for the original mockup.
I like it, looks great! And it is helpful when you want to look for a theme quickly instead of waiting for the theme switcher.
Why avoid JS? It’s such a silly thing to avoid it; its syntax is similar to PHP and also like PHP it’s an extremely powerful tool to have in your toolbox.
Forgot to mention the page is wonderful! Love it!
Does this mean wordpress.org will not have a full theme directory?
While the “featured themes” page is a start, it’d still be awesome to have one central place to go to for all wordpress themes (featured or not).
I guess by wordpress-extend, I was imagining something like Mozilla Addons (http://addons.mozilla.org). A one-stop shop for all wordpress themes and plugins.
I’m still holding out hope though 🙂
There is indeed no reason to avoid JavaScript. As long as the page also works without JS enabled, which it does, there is no problem.
I like the design, but it doesn’t look quite right to me in Firefox (win) and IE6. About 50px of the next theme to the right is shown, which kills that whole “only see one at a time” concept (which was a good idea, btw). It could be fixed by making the iframe thinner of by spacing out the themes in the
themes.phpfile’s CSS.It shows a bit of the next one on purpose, to let people know you can scroll.
Awesome! That Blix theme rocks!
Hey, thanks for featuring my theme (and sending so many people my way, that really helps man!). 🙂
SO HOT SO HOT.
Gotta congratulate Sebastian for his Blix theme – it definately does deserve to be one of the official favourites!
It looks very sharp to me (in Firefox) and I like how quickly it moves from one theme design to another.
It looks very neat.
