WordPress Leaf Theme

Another Nucleus theme and another by Ivan Fong. I have kpet things simple, there are just the minimum of files so you can customise and extend as you wish (and there is a lot that can be done with a conditional statement or two rather than create a whole new page.

 

Things worth mentioning:

  • Valid XHTML code.
  • Font-size selector.
  • Included .psd file for menu titles
  • Tested on IE6 (XP Pro), Safari, Safari2 and Firefox 1.5 (Mac).
  • Gratis, buck-shee, libre, frei, 自由 goodness. Just promise to be nice to somebody today if you download it.

Legal:
The Leaf theme is licensed under a GPL license. Basically, this means that you’re free to do what you like with it as long as you redistribute it under the same license.

At the moment the footer contains links to mine and the original authors pages. There is no obligation to keep them, though a link somewhere (or even just an e-mail to say you are using it) would be nice.

Installation:

  1. Read the readme file.
  2. Note: Leaf has been ported for WP2.0.2.
  3. Download, unzip, ftp to the themes/ folder then activate it via the WP admin panel.
  4. If you have problems check file permissions – 775 for folders and 644 for files.

Notes:
Now here’s the bad news. I am not a CSS, HTML or PHP guru. The porting was done with what experience I have, and as such, cannot really help with problems. I have done my best to ensure browser compatibility, I’ll try to help, but no guarantees.

You can download the theme here (156kb).
