I am working on the number of improvements for the next Starscape version (1.1.0). Some people were asking about some of the features, and here is what you can expect from this new version:

• Independant settings for Date Button
• Google search for sidebar
• Improved search positioning in the sidebar
• Now XHTML and CSS valid
• Image logo in the header instead of the Blog title
• New tabbed control panel

Just a quick update with only one new feature:

• New: Date buttons for posts and pages

You can see how the buttons look like on this site, since it’s already updated to 1.0.2. Also, new settings are added on the admin Starscape page for this new feature.

Right now, I am wokring on customizing search in the sidebar to include search above and bellow the sidebars, and also adding Google search (it was requested in some of the comments for the theme). Also, Control Panel will be changed for better organization of options.

As promised, here is the new version of the theme with some new features and some changes:

• New: Blog title is a link to a home page
• New: Save Settings message
• New: ScanDir compatible with PHP4
• Edit: Updated styles

If you are upgrading Starscape, just unpack over the previously installed version.

In a next few days I will complete user guide. Also, I am now working on more flxible top menu.

I am currently working on the support forum for my theme(s) and plugins. I hope the forum will be ready in the next few days.

As for the changes to the Starscape, here is the list of the features I am currently working on:

1. Blog title links to the blog home
2. ScanDir() function replaced with custom function for PHP4 compatibility
3. Update notification after changing Starscape settings
4. User Guide

All suggestions about the new features for the theme you can sned using the contact form on this site (page About), or on a forum once it goes live.

After few days of fixing bugs, changing some and adding new features, Starscape theme is now stable. Full list of changes can be found on the Changelog. I have also added some new screenshots, and also updated main theme page to include all Starscape features.
