Great white theme! Love the big header picture. Is it widget-supported?

This theme is widget ready starting version 0.2 .

what kind of license does this theme have? Is it ok to change the header picture, colors? I am new to this.

Thanks.

Emptiness Theme uses GPL to keep it consistent with WordPress? itself. More info about GPL can be found here http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html

Customising this theme is ok, feel free to modify the styles and the header image. Keeping the credits on the footer is highly appreciated.

as simple as zen! I like this Theme

Thanks for digging where the 'emptiness' comes from :).

Hi Cliffano. this is a beautiful theme. However it doesn't work seem to work properly on my IE6 on PC. Just checking that you are aware. How would I tweak the theme to make it display correctly on IE? thanks, Anthony

Would you be able to take a screenshot of the problem you're seeing on IE6 on PC? Please raise an issue http://code.google.com/p/bitpress/issues/entry and attach the screenshot to the issue. I can't suggest a tweak before knowing the exact problem first. Thanks for notifying me about this issue.

hi cliffano, have done that. Thanks for being so helpful. anthony

I am a complete novice to css and websites, but it seems to be something to do with the way the "float" is rendered on the right hand side elements? Anthony

It's related to the side elements indeed, only affects IE6. Fixed in version 3.0.1 . http://code.google.com/p/bitpress/issues/detail?id=1&can=1#c1

cliffano - thanks very much, I will try it, tinker around and let you know how it goes. All the best, Anthony

Hi cliffano-I am a novice at html, etc. Could you please give me a hint about how I would upload my own photo into your editor? Thanks for creating such a flexible theme. I wouldn't want to change a thing but that picture though! Bairbre

Do you mean the header image (tree branches + leaves)?

Go to the home directory of your WordPress?, find navigate through wp-content/themes/emptiness directory, and you'll find header.jpg image.

Replace that header.jpg image with your own. Use the same dimension 500 pixel width and 265 pixel height.

Please let me know if you meant other picture/image.

Thank you! That is exactly what I meant. Now if I can only figure out what went wrong w/filezilla! Can't get it to work today. sigh...

Great theme, congrats! The plain look should add some missing basic functionality though and I already submitted a bunch of issues. Great work, guys! You can check out the slightly customized version of Emptiness at http://blog.artiklz.com/

Thanks for raising the issues. They're included in v0.4, submitted to WordPress?.org.

Hi Cliffano, I just discovered Wordpress as a way to add blog function to my website. It's at http://billirwinarts.com/blog. I found your theme, it is exactly what I needed. I've tweaked it a little to try and match my main site, no doubt will keep fine tuning it over the next few days. Great work!

Thanks for using the theme. Nice customisation you have there :).

Hi Cliffano, how can I add my profile picture to that post sidebar?

Dusan, you have to register at Gravatar.com, make sure you add the email that you use on your blog's user account.

Thank you!

Hi Cliffano, thanks for the theme, but could you check the width under resolution 1024x768? It seems with such a resolution, there's a drag bar at the bottom of the page. How can I fix it, by changing the page width px? Thanks.

kastnerx, I'm guessing you're having this problem on IE? The body's right bar gets pushed down when there's a lengthy content in the middle area (just like a post titled 'XStringBundle NS_ERROR_FAILURE in my blog). I tested the theme with 1024x768 resolution on Windows using Internet Explorer, and it's ok when there's no lengthy content.

If you need a wider area for your content, then you might want to modify style.css' width attribute for div#container and div.main .

The theme really has problems under IE. In the sidebar, all widget titles such as "Recent Comments", "Tags", etc. are indented a bit. Looks fine on any other browser though.

Nikolay, the body right sidebar issue getting pushed down on IE6 was reported by anthony.goh and was addressed in Emptiness 3.0.1 . The indentation difference only appears on IE6, and it was a compromise I made in order to keep the stylesheet simple (improvements are always welcome). IE7 doesn't have any problem with the indentation or the lengthy content. Ditto for Safari, Opera, and FF, all good AFAIK.

Love your elegant and highly readable theme -- thank you! One question: I would like to add multiple categories for the linkroll on the right sidebar, but the Wordpress link "categories" option doesn't appear to work with the theme. Is there a way to customize the sidebar file to allow for multiple categories?

alykatz, you can try to use the Link widget and add it to Body Right sidebar, this way you're using the standard WP Link display rather than the simplified linkroll on Emptiness Theme. If you do use the widget, you might want to also add the Recent Posts and Recent Comments widgets to Body Right sidebar.

Hi Cliffano! Thank you for Emptiness! It's the perfect layout I've been looking for. I customized it a bit and tweaked it. Works perfectly except for the indentation of sidebar titles on IE6 (well, I don't use IE6, anyway). You can check out my blog to see how I made it all pink. :)

Thanks again! http://pinkcoconut.izces.com

Hi hotpinkcoconut, thanks for using Emptiness. Nice touch! Happiness indeed lies in pink fonts :).

Hi Cliffano! What an absolutely top theme! Nice and simple, although I'm still getting back into using Wordpress, so I'm still making changes! I really like how the theme can be customised to suit individual needs.

I'm going to try and remember CSS to personalise it even more! Thanks Again :) Http://www.paintedghost.co.uk

Just downloaded it - reminds me of the first, best theme that got me into WP ('white as milk'). Can't wait to try it out

Thanks paintedghost & s. The idea behind the theme is definitely its simplicity while at the same time allowing it to be a canvas for further customisation.

I can't "see" the current widgets in the administrtion panel of WP. There are many widgets in the blog but empty in the administrtion panel.

It's normal. Can I administrate these widgets?

belem, when you say "there are many widgets in the blog", could you please tell me what they are?
