After the theme was down for some time over the turn of the year, it is now back on the featured list on WordPress.org in version 2.9. While there haven’t been many new features since version 2.4, the next version 3.0 is subject to rather big changes. I already have introduced threaded comments (have a look) and compressed the header image from 300 KB to 3o KB. Also I plan to go through the entire code and to delete all lines which have become unnecessary over time.
jQ ideas:
- removing of the green template
- a smooth shadow for the outline
- new toggle arrows
- more…?
Future versions of the jQ theme might as well include these features:
- a jQuery supported content slider
- an option to adjust the font size from the back-end
- the possibility to include a custom header image
- multiple sidebars
All that is to come at the earliest in version 3.1.

The JQ theme is cool and simple,but there are many web2.0 funtions to add to the template,such as Twitter,Facebook and more

True, since many people use stuff like that. But at least Twitter isn’t that important, is it?

Hey man just wanted to say thx, am enjoying working with your theme.. And I was curious i’ve already hacked in the ability to change the background image as well as the background color via the options page.
I will probably be adding ability to customize the whole header area not just the logo was thinking an if/else statement if custom show that else show what it is now. Would use 2 text fields one for custom css defines and another for the html itself allowing the end user to completely customize the header. Tho i think also a basic logo replacement option would work fine for most ppl other’s like me deffinately would like total custom support there
If you’d like to see the end results email me and ill send u the changed header and function files.

Also for the navigation menu I will be adding:
div#nav li a:link#current_page_item
and possibly same for visited, just so it’s possible to style the current menu item differently your theme already supports this but isn’t implemented in the style sheets yet
James · April 4, 2010 at 21:41
change that only need to define:
.current_page_item { background:#726E6D; }
alter to suite whatever color you prefer.

That sounds interesting. I definitly want to see your change since I consider such an option as well.
James · April 14, 2010 at 13:44
Is there a way I can contact you to send you the changes? or should i post them to maybe speedyshare.com in a zip/rar and link that here?

I’m also having problems with block quotes: they don’t show up at all! How can I fix this?
Thibaut · March 26, 2010 at 10:55
It’s a good theme but there is a bug.
In IE, dates are not display correctly but on Firefox, there are no problems.
Thanks,
Thibaut

Hi!
I know that! It isn’t a bug. IE doesn’t render the styling correctly so I completely removed it. The old discussion…
Thibaut · April 2, 2010 at 09:10
Hi,
thanks for your answer. Why not use css hacks for internet explorer ?

Question – How do I edit the style of blockquotes with this theme? I’m not really a novice at CSS but it seems no matter where I put the blockquote styling in the stylesheet it never shows up.
I’m ready to move over to this theme but this is the one thing holding me up.
Tom · March 17, 2010 at 20:06
I figured it out. I had to add the styling in the header and it shows up.
Jeremy · March 27, 2010 at 19:49
Tom, I’m having this exact same problem! Could you please share where it the header file you put the blockquote definition? Thanks!
beerorkid · April 16, 2010 at 17:09
Been searching for themes for days and keep coming back to this one. It is awesome. But the blockquotes are not working for me either.
I will see what I can figure out and have my wife look at it. And reply with a fix if we find one.

glad to hear jq back
keep growing

It would nice to have a custom header image option. If that’s not in the works, could you give me some tips on how to “adjust” the code to put my own header image (if possible in the first place)
James · April 4, 2010 at 20:29
In the style sheets Find:
div#blog-line h1 {font:1.5em Georgia, serif; color:#fff;}
div#blog-line h1 a {font:normal 1.8em Georgia, serif; color:#fff;}
And also in the header find:
You could add a new css define for:
div#blog-line {
// do your customization here for backgrounds/padding/margin etc
}
James · April 4, 2010 at 20:30
em in the header find the div with id blog-line
that got trimmed out of my last post sorry.

Nice Theme, but I miss the little Images like “tag-blue.png” in the Version 3.1 :-/
Admin comment by Devolux · February 27, 2010 at 20:25
Well, ich decided to change the style in several small details. And somehow I don’t like these icons anymore. They are very playful and require unnecessary HTML mark-up.
shawnmcf · February 26, 2010 at 04:17
Nice to see you back! I haven’t gotten very far on my projects either so I know how hard it can be to keep up.
