After few months I have finally managed to update Starscape theme. There were few bugs reported in this period, and they are fixed in this version. But the main reason for this update are the new integration features that are available in GD Star Rating plugin. Options panel is updated and new, separate tab for GD Star Rating is added.

This new tab will be visible only if the GD Star Rating is installed. You can use it to integrate comment review and/or standard and/or multi ratings. You can add all 3 blocks if you want. I have fixed few CSS problems, few rendering bugs and made few more changes.

As for the further updates, I can’t promise anything, but at least I will update as needed for GD Star Rating, so you can use it as an example of the integration features.

This version brings some bugs fixed, updated translation POT file and new advanced pager for front page or archive. New pager is designed for blogs with large number of posts. Translation file is not yet completed, but contains over 95% of all string used by the adminstration panel and blog frontend.

List of all fixes and changes is in changelog file. As for the future versions, there will be an announcement by the end of the week. Since I don’t have enough time to work on new Starscape II as planned before, I will announce new development plans for Starscape 2 and Starscape 3.

I have finally got a little time to update Starscape theme. This new version brings few small bugs fixed, and two new features. I have added direct integration support for GD Star Rating comment review rating, and support for upcoming WordPress 2.7 thread comment model. Also, I have made some changes to CSS and added classes for rendering image captions.

Next version will be released with WordPress 2.7, and will have more GD Star Rating features integrated, and also will improve on comment threading.

Just another regular maintanence release is here. Most important change is exapnding CSS classes to support tags for comments like blockquote and code (thanx goes to Anita for pointing this out). Also, some of the IE6 issues have been also fixed. And one very nasty bug in author module (thanx to Snider for discovering this bug).

Since I am still getting a lot of questions about customization of Starscape:

After you install and activate Starscape, in the Design WordPress menu you will get one more option called Starscape. This will open a new control panel page with a lot of options for customization of Starscape and blog. Also, read the user guide located in user_guide folder to find out what all the options are for. There are more then 15 diffrenen modules available that are built in the theme for DIGG, adjustable sidebars, menus, tags, gravatar… Read this user guide before asking any Starscape related questions to avoid repeating things.

Thank you for using Starscape.

Few hours after I released 1.5.0, I have notices few problems. So, here is the quick fix update. I have fixed few problems with translation strings and error in POT i18n translation file. Few other things are fixed, and I have added some strings to POT files that I missed before.

And as a bonus new Nova preset style in blue, with Star shaped WordPress logo. This new desing is used on wp.gdragon.info.
