Skinner Plugin and Presentation Toolkit Plugin

As part of the development of the soon the be released Vistered Little 1.7, I created a skin selector based on the Theme selector that comes with WordPress, which has resulted in the Skinner Plugin. Now all themes can enjoy the benefits of being skinable.

I've also created a Presentation Toolkit Plugin based on the Wordpress Theme Toolkit by Ozh. It's basically the same, except now it's a plugin and it supports skins (i.e. with the Skinner Plugin.

Enjoy,

New Skins for Vistered Little

The default-flex theme was getting a little heavy for my liking and with inspiration from Chris vs Chris I decided to create a lighter version of the default and default-flex skins for vistered little. You can download them using the links below. Just extract them into you skins directory and change the skin via the 'vistered little 16a' section of the presentation panel. Enjoy.

I have just stumbled upon the Vistered Little Theme for WordPress and I have to admit I'm smitten. I've switched the site to use it and in the process found a few bugs/issues:

  • The default wallpaper is not available in the wallpaper list
  • The wallpaper thumbnails require the entire set of wallpapers to be downloaded, making the site very very heavy (at least on first load)
  • There are extra images in the images directory that are not references (e.g. old wallpapers)
  • There is some redundant PHP code and redundant generated CSS/JS

I've tweaked the theme to fix these issues and you can download it for yourself below:
