My first release in the new year, and it’s a new version of Starscape theme. This is mainly a bug fixing release. I cleaned up some more CSS, improved CSS styles used for threaded comments available in WordPress 2.7. There are also few improvements in comments form, new page template with no sidebars and few more things. Theme is available at WordPress.org themes extend direcotory, but version uploaded there has no Google Analytics module because of the WordPress.org rules. If you use that module, download theme from this blog. |

Happy New Year!
I see you care a lot about your themes! That is a great thing. Regarding this new version of Starscape, why didnt you put a link with a demo here, or some screenshots?
I searched the theme there but I find just this version (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/starscape#post-90)
I am very interested in the threaded comments that your theme supports. Please give me more details or at leat a good link.
Hi Millan,
Again your new version is working great. Appreciate the corrections in the CSS. Have you ever though of putting in a feature that would allow the exclusion of pages from the header menu? Some people have tens of pages and I’m not sure they want them all listed at the top. I’ve personally been hardcoding the pages I want excluded in the template of your theme but a menu driven feature would be nicer
Thanks again for the great work!

@kesepian: This blog uses latest Starscape theme, but is working on WP 2.6. If you want to see threaded comments feature you need WP 2.7, and my other blog uses Starscape and works on WP 2.7: http://wp.gdragon.info/
@Genevieve: Unfortunatelly I don’t have that much free time right now, and this will require a lot of work do be done properlly. Starscape 2 is now in works, and new features will be added there. And this will be one of these new features.
I use your theme on 3 personal sites at the moment and would like to donate, but would prefer to do this through Paypal.
I would also like to suggest somethings — one for now would be the option of having one sidebar option on the left —
Would also like to remove the default indent on paragraphs in thetheme, but have not been able to do this
I don’t have much time these days to work on the theme, but I will try to add sidebars on both sides, but I can’t promise.
As for the idents, all the CSS you can changes is located in style.css and type.css (css folder).
For donations, I can’t use PayPal account. I will add AlertPay soon and also will make Moneybookers donation easier to use.
Thanks for the info Millan — Appreciate all your hard work that has made things easier for me.
Will donate once you have a better setup for it. It is a pity about PayPal
Thanks –looking forward to you adding possibility of sidebar to the left
I am amazed to see this theme…it is so expansive, so to say. While I was uploading it through ftp, I was amazed to see the number of files being transferred: they were more than three times the number of files that I have seen in usual themes. And from that, I guessed something extraordinary was in store for me. After activating the theme, I came to see that it was really so. I am so happy to have found, for the first time, a theme that allows me to modify and customize it without actually tweaking the code. The control panel gives great flexibility to handle things.
But I see one important thing missing: there is no sidebar.php file in the theme. Now if I have to place an image or something in the side bar (or in the blank area on right), where do I put it?
Any guidance in this regard will be great.
Thank you for such a unique, wonderful theme.I am lovin’ it
Thanx! Unfortunatly I don’t have much time to work on it, but I hope that will change.
Go into theme folder, and inside there is themes folder. In this folder are two folders. If you use Nova engine, than sidebar is in Nova folder, for Classic engine in Classic folder. File name is screen.sidebar.php. But this file only loads sidebars. Actual left and right sidebar are in the Modules folder.
Millan, I am grateful. Getting inside the Modules has got me what I was looking for.
P.S. It is great to find a proper user guide in pdf format for the theme. I am seeing this too for the first time in a theme.That is very helpful indeed.I thank you for your hard work.
Great tool!
Hi there MillaN, it seems like the download page is not working.
Sorry, download plugin is acting again. I will try to replace it with something else in the next few days.
Just starting using your new theme and love it so far . Congratulations on creating a theme with so many options that allows those of us not into html to blog .
When I click on download I get the following:
Starscape:
[download id="6"]
Old Versions:
[download id="5"] [download id="3"] [download id="2"] [download id="1"]
with no link to download… Am I in the right area?
Fantastic theme, cant believe it’s free! Thanks for all your work on this sanity saver.
great theme, perfect !
Hello! Nice work!
Still, I have a small question: how can I set the header background image to repeat on the x axis? I need this so that the header is correctly displayed on wider displays. I didn’t find this option, so I tried to code it manually, but I haven’t found the file that sets the header image background. Which file should I modify?
Thank You
