simpleX 2.0

by Themes

simpleX 2.0 is a revamped WordPress theme. It is developed to take advantage of latest WordPress features such as post formats, custom header and custom background. It also takes full advantage to work on modern browsers as well as all types of screen resolution, a responsive design. As always, its minimalist, simple and clean.

You can watch the demo of simpleX here.

As this theme has been very popular in WordPress.org, it will be available for free. Currently, the new version is under review and should be available as soon as its accepted in the repository.

This theme works best for bloggers.

Once again — Merry Christmas to ya all… :)

SimpleX

by Themes

simpleX

simpleX, as the name suggests, is a simple, clean and minimalist WordPress theme.

Yesterday

This theme is my first official WordPress theme. I created this theme to learn (at first place) and only by changing the default WordPress CSS style. But as it developed, I had few things that I wanted to change. Then I tweaked the codes at a few places. I released simpleX 1.0 and listed out at official WordPress theme page on December 1, 2008. I was surprised at the statistics WordPress provided. Because of the overwhelming response and listed as top 20 themes at WordPress, I was inspired to make updates to it.

Development Log

Yes, I have kept a development log in case you are interested. :)

Today

It now supports WordPress 2.7+ and commented threads. This site is also using simpleX so you are already previewing the theme. Please feel free to browse around and download the theme if you like it.

Download

Interestingly, simpleX comes for FREE.

Demo

Tomorrow

Future is always uncertain, as they say. I am not sure what I will do with simpleX in future. I have a few ideas in mind but again, I want to develop few other themes. If there is a significant amount of response with simpleX, I will keep on updating it otherwise, I will call it a theme and move on with other cool themes. Nevertheless, feel free to ask questions, give suggestions or post comments about simpleX on the comments section.

by Site News

SimpleX, a 10 day old theme, now has been downloaded more than 1000 times (to my surprise!). Its getting an average rating of 4 which is not bad I guess. Its also now listed as top 20 themes on WordPress website which is again something to be proud of! I can’t wait for the updated version to be listed over at WordPress. I don’t know what is taking so long for those guys. Perhaps the 2.7 upgrade. Anyway, I look forward to some of your suggestions and comments on this site as well. Thank you all!

Cleaning up the house a bit – v1.2.1

by Site News

Clean up the houseSimpleX theme now comes with a cleaner code. Since 1.2 release yesterday, I took sometime to clean the codes so it is much easier to customize if anyone needs to. SimpleX is now passed the xHTML and CSS validation. There is a separate CSS sheet for IE6/7. IE 8 Beta 2 seems to work well with the normal CSS (what a relief, IE no more seems to need hacks). It has been now tested with IE6, IE7, IE8 Beta 2, FF2, FF3, Safari 3.2 and Chrome 0.4.

simpleX theme top 40 downloads @ WordPress.org

by Freebies / Site News

As I have been following the downloads charts at the official WordPress theme site, simpleX is now at top 40 downloads and is approaching its first 500 downloads as I write this. This has really been an inspiration to me. I am working to update simpleX so users can choose colors to adjust as per their need. This should be a great leap as an update.
