MangoOrange™

I know is a little late for a release for WordPress 2.5. I would like to apologize for that as I'm very busy with my current work at Silicon Valley. Thankful, I found some time to work on the new release. The improvements might not be a lot but it's worthwhile a new release. Hope you would like it.

So what's new in i2Theme 1.1 and i3Theme 1.7?
Gravatar Plugin support
Giving new identity to your blog readers. It's a cool stuff to have. Enhance your reader to give their feedback as well. Hope you like it. You have to download Gravatar Plugin to enable this feature.

Pings are now separated (click to see the screenshot)
Yup, finally, it's separated. It even support the famous Paged Comments, of course, with a little hacked. Please download the plugin from MangoOrange instead. I have sent my modification and hopefully the author will include it in the future version. Till then, you have to use the hacked version. No worries, the changes are minimal.

WordPress 2.5 CSS Element support
The newly added CSS elements alignright and alignleft has been used to usually float images left and right of the post. Many having issue of no padding causing the image to stick closely with the text. No worries. It's all fixed now.

What's the status of the i2Theme and i3Theme?
Currently, there are over 58,000 downloads. Woohoo! Thank you everyone for the support. I will continue to work hard to try to cater for everyone's demand and suggestions on improving the theme.

There has been a slight error that I've made while migrating i3Theme into i2Theme. Sorry for missing it out.

It only concerned those who are using the i2Theme (Right edition). The error concerned will caused the bullet icon on each right sideboxes to disappear.

To fix it, just replace it with the file: dbx-key.js

i3Theme has been and will continue to be a great success, with over 40,000 downloads to date. It's been a wonderful time for me to build and maintain the theme.

Today, on the April 1st, 2008, I would like to release the next big theme, i2Theme. It's not an April Fool joke. It's a real thing. If you don't believe, you can check it out here.

So why do I need to come out with i2Theme when original iTheme is made available by Nick La? Two reasons; Firstly, a request made by some of you, which makes me to ponder for a while. I did a check on the iTheme by Nick La that leads me to the second reason, no further development since version 1.1.

Thus, I spent a few nights transferring all the features I developed for i3Theme and put together a new theme, i2Theme. I believe it's going to benefit everyone who loves the mac-like design and prefer a 2 columns instead of 3 columns WordPress theme, i3Theme.

Hope you will enjoy it and if there is any feedback and comment, feel free to voice it out.

Update: I have re-upload the i3Theme 1.6 due to some bugs found. Thank you everyone for reporting the bug.

It's finally out, i3Theme 1.6. Sorry for the delay as I just moved into my new home in Silicon Valley with my newly installed Comcast internet line. As promised, I have added a few tasty visual elements and best of all, 4 additional colours for you to choose from.

Four new sexy colours

i3Theme Classic

Since every new colour i3Theme has a sexy name, I decided to call the original i3Theme, Classic. Sounds like the iPod Classic example.

New features for i3Theme 1.6

1. Coloured Bullets - Gone were the days of black, boring bullet points
   
2. Quote icon - Finally, there's a nicer way to present your quotes.
3. Site Admin - A direct link to access your administration page. Thank you famfamfam for providing such a wonderful icon.
   

25,000 downloads milestone

Thank you for everyone who continue to support i3Theme. This is another huge milestone for me. I will continue to bring more innovations in MangoOrange™. Something cool is going to release in March. So stay tune.

As Christmas coming, it would be a great gift to present to all the i3Theme fans and here it is: the i3Theme 1.5. Nothing major has changed except that I have fixed quite a few bugs and guess what? It's now compatible with version before WordPress 2.3. I hope this is a great feature for the non-english WordPress as I believe they are a little behind the english version.

Not only that, I have finally fixed the major problem in IE6 where widgets or images that larger than the sidebar width will pushes the rest of the boxes or main content down. Hope everyone will have little problems with this new release.

Below's a list of changes made:

• SEO-friendly header title
• Enable hierarchical structure for category's sidebar (for Widgets, use the 'Categories' widget)
• Bug Fixed: (Only in IE6) Information overflow in the sidebar destroy the layout
• Bug Fixed: Next/Previous link display the same [special thanks to Jamie]
• Bug Fixed: Category icons missing when using Widgets' categories
• Bug Fixed: Unable to work in WordPress 2.2 or lower [special thanks to mat]

Lastly, I would like to announce that i3Theme has 19,648 downloads since the first release of i3Theme. I hope by Christmas, it will hit the 20,000 mark.

Till then, Merry Christmas to everyone!
