Regulus 2.0

Regulus has been far more popular than I ever imagined it would be. So popular, in fact, that I have already created version 2.0

Changes

Version 2.0 has been created specifically for WordPress version 2.0 (hence the name change) and features a number of new features. From the outside it looks the same, with the exception of the 4 new header images and the extra colour scheme, but underneath it uses the new theme system built directly into wordpress 2.0

rebuilt admin panel from scratch for wordpress 2.0
fixed list item colour in content
fixed get_sidebar not called twice on page.php any more
fixed search function
fixed errors with certain plugins that messed up the about box content
fixed message label repeating css bug in IE
added reset button to admin panel (for easy uninstall)
added screenshot (used in wp2.0 only)
added some fancy little javascript doobries to let you preview style options in the admin panel itself
added white colour scheme
added link listing option and styled listings
added 404 page
added 4 new header graphics
changed line-height in css
changed password protected posts to hide certain objects in the widgets bar if the password is not entered
swap categories and archives around
moved admin bar styles to external style sheet
only display ‘read more’ link if excerpts are used
option to display post author on individual posts on homepage
choose between default blog roll listing and the option to display link categories
made the html validate
optimised switch.css (reduce download size)

Oh yeah – I fixed a few things in the original version as well so if you are still using wordpress 1.5 then you can update that as well.

Unless there are any major errors I’m not going to do any more work on the 1.5 version of Regulus. Since version 2 is coming out in the not too distant future, and people aren’t complaining, I don’t think it’s worth continuing. That doesn’t mean it will stop working though – so feel free to keep using it 🙂
