The Aesthete WordPress Theme version 1.1 released

The release has significant updates. The theme becomes more and more user friendly and I’ll continue to work on it.

Changlog:

• CHANGED: Thumbnaing is now included to the theme and doesn’t require phpThumb. It still requires wordpress upload dir to be writable.
• CHANGED: Portfolio and Catalog categories are now selected from the list (no need to enter the ID)
• ADDED: You can upload and select in the theme options your own custom header image.
• ADDED: You can change header text font size in the theme options
• ADDED: RSS icon and the theme option to show/hide RSS link
• ADDED: Link to README in theme options.
• REMOVED: I’ve removed PSD-file from the theme folder but I uploaded it here. Moreover I’ve added the new file to help you to design custom header.

The nearest TODO is:

• Custom graphic logo
• Allow to hide blog title/description through the theme options
