SimpleX has been quite popular amongst the available themes at WordPress.org and it just crossed 41,000 downloads which is pretty impressive for a simple design like that. After almost a year of the last update on the theme and WordPress nearing to version 2.9 now this theme really needed an upgrade. The last update was made when WordPress 2.7 was available. Since then, WordPress has come a long way.
So, after looking at questions on forums and issues people have reported, simpleX has been updated to work with latest WordPress. The 2 issues that were fixed are:
- Fixed Tag Cloud (the new WordPress has a different class so were showing the cloud as a list)
- Plugin compatibility (plugins like Lightbox now work perfectly).
It was still using the old jQuery manually. Now it pulling new jQuery automatically from WordPress files which means there are no longer conflicts with plugins that use multiple JavaScript libraries.
On the other side, the file size has been greatly reduced from over 100KB to just 75KB. 
Made a slight mod to the page.php do allow comments on pages

Very nice. Thank you.
Hi Chandra,
in this theme most links are underlined (but not all, pages e.g. are not). How can I completly deactivate underlining of links in this theme?
I´m using d13slideshow for my blog, and this looks a bit ugly when links are underlined…
Thanks for your help!
