Hopefully this is the last update for a while, more SCSS cleaning, but now I have added Icon Fonts to this Thematic Child Themess footer.
- Cleaned up some SCSS, I had dumb things like "width: 100%" when by default it will be 100% anyway.
- Now the theme includes the Entypo Icon Fonts which uses weloveiconfonts.com API to make it extremely easy to add fonts. Technically there is a better way to do this by doing a custom build and only adding the specific font icons you need, but this works (and is really really easy).
- Also updated the colors of the menu to not be such a hard black and added a background tile from subtlepatterns.comto make things a little less intense visually.
Brought the CSS/SCSS in line with how I like to set up files, tried to make the workflow a little smoother, mainly when working with the SCSS (SASS) files.
- Fixed a issue with the Flexslider where image heights and widths were being applied (through WordPress) and causing the slider to rely on fixed CSS widths where at a few widths the slider would be distorted, this is no longer an issue, I used a hacky WordPress fix to remove the width/height attributes from the images.
- Fixed a bug with the adding of the classes on the dropdowns that happens when you create multiple custom menus, previously the bug would only allow you to create 1 custom menu, now that is no longer an issue.
- Reorganized files, moved specific sections in the SCSS file to partials.
- Cleaned up CSS involved with Gallery, converted the last of the pixels (except borders) to EM units instead.
- Combined CSS, there were parts where I tried to make things easier to adjust in the SCSS environment, but if someone used only the CSS file, it isn't easier for them, so it made sense to combine it.
Dropdowns, dropdowns, dropdowns, finally.
- Added drop down support for menus, removed Superfish JS that come with Thematic in place of CSS3 dropdowns, due to conflicts with the classes Superfish adds. The dropdowns aren't the best solution, but they are a solution. I will look into replacing this eventually, but for now it works good and provides some added hooks so you can scrap the CSS and build your own which is helpful.
- Removed pixels in media queries in favor of em units (just a preference).
Most of this update is super minor, mostly involving updating the supporting scripts. Although one awesome change is this child theme is now compatible with the Thematic HTML5 Plugin, although it is not required. There are still a few minor styling issues, but that will be taken care of shortly.
- Updated the
childtheme_override_index_loop()to change post<div>to<article>to match html5 plugin output. - Updated Header Widget and Footer widget to use
<aside>instead of<div>. - Updated to the latest full Modernizr v2.6.1 Developer version, be sure to push out a custom build on a finished site.
- Updated to the latest HTML5 Boilerplate Helper Classes and the Print Styles, compacted.
- Updated to Normalize.css v1.0.1, compacted.
- Added comment to preserve required header for WP themes on SASS compile.
- Minor CSS spacing issues fixed, not worth noting them all.
- Updated Fitvids.js script, there were a few differences even though the version remains 1.0? Updated anyway.
