Glades

Awesome theme! Tested and approved.

I was setting this theme up on my site when I noticed that the submenus are cut off – half of the menu item text goes off the screen to the right regardless of screen size. Check out the preview; hover your pointer over the Parent Page menu item and watch a scrollbar appear at the bottom of the screen. This bug kept me from using this theme.

For a news magazine format. It took me some time to get a hang of the controls. Once I bought the pro version, it’s been easy. I lessened the predominance of blue in the theme and the monotony of one font appearing almost everywhere on the homepage. I also placed the logo where the site title appeared written manually.

Now I need some more fonts for Indic scripts, especially Arial Unicode MS for Devanagari and SolaimanLipi for Bengali, and Jameel Noori Nastaleeq for Persian/Urdu. But the issue of fonts has more to do with WordPress than the theme, I guess.

I absolutely love this theme. Easy customizable, great design, clear and easy manual, and layout is perfect for me.

And I’m talking about the free version here, which already does everything I need. No need for me to upgrade.

I read the other reviews about this theme, especially the 1-star reviews, and I really don’t understand your point of view guys. It’s not limited at all. And if you think the design is horrible, then why do you decide to install it and then give a bad review?

For me I think it’s a very nice theme, and Thomas (ThemeZee Support) was very professional in helping me when I had a question.

You guys giving 1 star reviews because you can’t read descriptions or follow instructions are doing a disservice to this amazingly functional theme.

It’s true the free version requires you to edit CSS for certain changes (Fonts, colors) but so far I find it well worth the money I put down on it for the pro plugin.

From my tests so far, this is going to update and streamline my site without the need to drastically change the look and feel. Easier on me and more transparent for my users.

Things I’d like to be able to do with the pro version that I can’t (or haven’t found the docs for)

* Adjust the size and position of the logo (Left, right, center) and have it not scale smaller images up.

* Remove the default header menu that resides under the logo. You can remove the top menu and the social menu, but the default menu seems untouchable.

* Options for Google Adsense widgets. I’d like to place a banner under the featured image within the article itself. (See an article on http://www.allspark.com for an example)

Other than those minor quirks, I am pleased with the speed and performance of the theme and the overall layouts.

The theme has a great magazine-style layout, but the overall design could be better. IMO, that Contrail typeface doesn’t fit here at all. But of course, you can always change it in the stylesheets.

this theme is beatiful, however it is so limited in the free version.

Doesn’t allow for non-profits plus the cost is over what it should be and doesn’t adequately explain if you use the free version you are highly limited and if you waste your money on the over priced, out of date, and horribly designed theme you have no recourse as its a “digital sale” … save your time and money, use something else!
