Inanis Glass WordPress Theme

Inanis Glass WordPress Theme

This is the first WordPress theme designed for Inanis.net. Compatible with WordPress 2.6 – 2.8.4.

I’ve designed an updated theme based on Inanis Glass, called Inanis Seven. Check it out!

NOTE! If you are using Inanis Glass 1.2 or older, it is vulnerable to a Cross Site Scripting attack. I highly suggest you upgrade to the newest version, as it is not vulnerable to this attack.

Download

  • Current Version: v1.3.6 -[download theme]
  • Translation Files for v1.3.6
    • Files from 1.3 will work, but may have a couple of missing items.
  • Old Versions

Patches For Next Version

  • ADDED – jQuery Animations for menus and page resize
  • ADDED – better “middle” sized center column algorithm
  • ADDED – converted inline javascript event handlers to “listeners” model, using jQuery wherever possible
  • FIXED – put sidebar “lower” in the code order so screen readers for the blind get to the page content faster
    • There’s a weird caveat with this, but I think I’ve handled it fairly well. Make your browser window really small and you’ll see what I mean.
  • FIXED – IE7 doesn’t show proper white background on page windows. Darn you IE! DIE!
  • FIXED – Make the “start menu throb” feature optional.

About the Design and Features

I wanted a Glass-style theme for my website. I couldn’t find one I liked, so I made one.

  • Striking Glass-style design

    • Drop Shadows
    • Transparency
    • Taskbar-style pages list
    • Glowing Options Orb

  • Seven user selectable sub-themes

    • Void, Life, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire and Lightweight

    • Cookie saves user’s preference for 30 days
    • Default Theme is admin selectable. (see Readme below).]

  • Easy Navigation

    • “Taskbar Preview” style menus when you hover over page buttons – makes finding pages a snap!

  • Cross Browser Functionality

    • IE6, IE7, FF2/3, Safari 1-3, Chrome

    • NOTE: IE6 Functionality is just that, functional. It doesn’t look pretty and at least one issue causes the screen to want to “scroll forever”, however it is visible and usable. These issues may be corrected in a future release.

  • Widget Ready

    • Think: Sidebar “Gadgets”

    • Themed Widgets: Each widget is graphically themed in an attractive way.

  • Convenient Options Menu

    • Meta functions neatly tucked away. Makes sure your content is front and center.

    • New Post and New Page buttons right on the Options menu – saves time!

  • Customizable user picture

    • Uses the “Custom Image Header” feature of WordPress to allow the blog owner to change the user picture to his/her heart’s content.

  • Gravatar-enabled.

    • Subscribers see themselves on the Options Menu and in posts.

  • Minutiae

    • Graphic work was done in Paint Shop Pro 8. I know it’s crufty and old, but Adobe software just costs too damn much.

    • It looks best if you have the Segoe UI font installed, but works with number of other default Windows, Mac and Linux fonts, so it should look okay in any situation.

    • Supports WordPress 2.7 Threaded Comments

Tips and Tricks

    Jukka,

    Have you tried installing Inanis Glass v1.2? I see you are running 1.1 or earlier….

    From what I can tell, Shadowbox uses a window.onload function that version 1.1 of Inanis Glass also uses. Only one window.onload can be used at a time unless you use some magic. I am going to make a guess that because of this, either Inanis Glass breaks or Shadowbox breaks. Inanis Glass 1.2 uses a different manner of loading its Javascript functions that shouldn’t interfere with other scripts using window.onload. Try it and see what happens, then let me know…

    Try installing Inanis Glass 1.2 and see if that fixes the problem.

    Incredible theme! Thank you!! FYI, I found that in ‘style.css’, putting ‘font-family=…’ in ‘html’ instead of in ‘*’ made tags like ” show up in monospace, instead of having Segoe override everything.

    Micah,

    Uhhh, weird. Not sure what the implications of that would be. If it works as is, then is there a reason to change it? Is having font-family in * a CSS-faux-pas, because I’ll be the first to tell you I don’t always follow convention.

    Jukka,

    I installed the ShadowBox from that page on THIS blog, running WordPress 2.6 with Inanis Glass 1.2, and it seems to be working for me on IE7, Firefox3, Opera 9.62, Chrome and Safari 3.12.

    I really want to be able to recreate your issue but it seems I cannot.

    Dear Inanis,

    Great theme, I like it.

    But as you know, “RSS Feed for comments” does not work, how can I fix it?

    It looks like the feed work, here, on your site.

    Thank you,
    Andy

    Hi. Happy new year! :-)
    I gotta say this is a fantastic theme. Thank you.
    One question: Is there any way to add more characters to the QuickLaunch buttons?

    Thanks in advance.

    Andy…
    This is an issue with WordPress 2.7. The theme works in 2.6, but not 2.7 for this feature. I did some research and the WordPress API for this function has not changed for 2.7 – it just doesn’t work right. I even started up a WordPress.com blog to see if it works there – and it does. But then checked out the theme used on that blog and the API code is the same. WordPress MU 2.7 must not have this issue.

    I then took my development server (running 2.7) and switched it back to the default Kubric that comes with 2.7. The RSS feed was blank there too, so it’s DEFINITELY not the theme.

    Essentially, as far as I can tell, there isn’t anything for me to change in Inanis Glass that will make it work.

    Anyone who knows better, please tell me the secret so I can fix it!

    Also, to change the theme backgrounds (if I understand correctly), you need to replace the JPG images used for each sub-theme.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Yes, but can the 2 character/19px width be extended? I have several links I’d like to put there but they really need 3 characters to make any sense.

    I use WordPress v2.7 and the template seems to work fine, for the most part.

    The one problem I have is with validation.

    If I use this as an example.
    When I try to validate it, i get this error:

    Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 178 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

    The error was: utf8 “\xE9″ does not map to Unicode

    I seems to be down to the sidebar, but I coudn’t track the problem directly…. Thanks for the template though :)

    Hi
    thanks for such a great theme
    wp + glass = 2009 online :)

    i think a the small readme needs expansion for all the little options now included
    digging around in the wp theme editor i’m slowly stumbling across some settings i’ve needed to edit, (disclaimer text, default background, etc)

    now i’ve have looked (and googled) but damned if i can find the option to display links/blogroll back in the theme
    either on the sidebar or elsewhere

    also what is the process to enlarge the text of the site name and blog info
    i cant find specific reference, yours looks fine but on other sites the header looks tiny and out of place when swamped by its surrounds

    i’ve now used the theme on a couple of sites and as the improvements keep coming i’ll keep using and supporting

    cheers from downunder

    D

    p.s. great to see the server back online
