A small update with a few new features. The reason for this post, rather than updating the last post, is that I now consider Regulus complete. Barring any show stopping bugs there will be no new updates to Regulus, it's time to more on.
The change log since the last release is (this includes the changes for version 2.1.1 which went out silently) ...
- fixed widgets unregister bug
- fixed search box for sites in sub folders (could have sworn I had done this already)
- added the ability to hide the blog title and description. Useful for people who use custom header images
- added type attribute to style tag (for validation)
- added edit post link underneath the title for logged in users (as with version 2.0)
- changed code and pre tags to use monospaced fonts and add a couple of extra styled doohickies
- fixed minor validation error(s)
- fixed sidebar css issue
- added back admin panel for all sidebars (including widgeted bars)

Grab Regulus 2.1.2 for WordPress 2.0!
Thanks for all the feedback I've had. It's great to know people like and use the theme.
Update
Oh well - so much for 2.1.2 being the last version. I've just uploaded version 2.1.3 that has a small change to the admin panel. You can now preview custom header images in the control panel. If the image does not load then you will get an error image. This isn't essential stuff but it's a nice usability extra I think, and will hopefully remove the amount of support for custom header images that is bound to occur.
Hi
I wonder if someone can tell me where I can change the link URL for "Home". I don't want it to be the wp/ folder, but a different page. Where is that set, please?
Thanks so much

Very nice theme, I added it to my Best WordPress Theme Collection

I use Regulus on my hosted blog at wordpress.com. It definitely seems to be the best of the themes they offer, as far as feature-full, and reasonably attractive and customizable without even needing to edit CSS (which costs extra).
But there's one oddity I'm not sure you're aware of. The wordpress.com admin panel allows you to turn on showing number of links included in each Category or each month of the Archive. But when you do this with regulus, the number shows up on the next line, instead of on the same line as intended. This is because of the:
#sidebar a {
display:block;
}
I'm not sure why a tags in sidebar are set to block in the first place? Over-riding this to display:inline seems to solve the problem and doesn't seem to solve any others. But it requires knowing enough CSS to figure this out, and it requires paying wordpress.com for the right to edit CSS (a reasonable amount, but should it be neccesary?).
Is this considered a bug, or is there a good reason for the display:block?
Thanks for the theme.

Hello, first of all, thanks for the wonderful theme!
Though, i'm facing a bit of problems to introduce "asides" into it.
On the WordPress codex there is a step-by-step tutorial for adding asides into a theme (http://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Asides), but i can't complete it because Regulus' index.php doesn't seem to have the same chunk of text that is mentioned on the tutorial (otherwise i'm blind).
"Step 6: The next line should be your date call (). Under that, paste this:
[CODE...]"
I tried inserting the code into several places of the code, but all resulted in errors. Unfortunately i don't know php
I'd be very grateful if you could solve that one for me.

Hi Ben,
Love the theme, but I'm outgrowing it. Thought any more about a 3 column version?

Hi Sophie - can I see your website? I suspect it's a WordPress issue, not allowing this sort of content on your site.

I don't know why but today it suddenly works! So I guess the problem solved itself
sorry for the trouble.
