After almost two weeks of work, new version of Starscape is now available with a lot of new features and a lot of changes. This blog is running on new version of theme for the last few dyas, and now is also updated to the latest, code name Orion. All future major updates of Starscape will have constellation code names.

If you were using some of the old versions, update should go without the problem, but the theme will revert to default settings, because a lot of things are different, and old options will not work.

I have spent few days adding new features to Starscape, and I managed to make theme work in Safari, Opera, Firefox and IE7. But now I am trying to sort things out with IE6 and a lot of things are still the problem. This blog now runs on latest internal beta version of Starscape 1.10. As you can see there are a lot of new features, soon to be available for public use.

There are two main problems with IE6: PNG and Box Model.

Last few days I was working on fixing a lot of HTML and CSS used by the theme, and I have managed to make the theme completly XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid and also CSS level 2.1 valid. Latest public version of Starscape (1.0.2) is not valid, there are few bugs in there, but the modified code for this blog is. Next version 1.1.0 is 100% valid. But this is not always enough.

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.
