  • Emptiness Header Images

    First of all, my apology to Tony Lauria for making him wait for a long time and for not being able to upload these images earlier as promised. Life has been exceptionally busy, but I’ll save the details for another blog post.

    It was a pleasant surprise for me to find out that Tony and some other Emptiness Theme users like to the header images from previous versions of the theme and requested their availability for download. Thanks so much for using the theme.

    So here they are (in chronological order)…

    Light greenish-yellowish leaves on tree branches in front of my home in Carnegie. This picture was used as the default header image from v0.1 to v0.9 of the theme.

    A city-loop train with Crown complex in the background. This picture was taken from the Flinders St studio apartment where I lived back in 2005. I used the picture as a custom header image demonstration on a cleaner way to customise WordPress Theme styles using MyCSS Plugin.

    Stones and water, which I thought represent the theme of emptiness really really well. The picture was taken at Korakuen Garden during my trip to Japan this year, and was used in v1.0 .

    Weird grassy plants at Shinjuku Garden. In retrospective, I found the random pattern of the plants to be quite interesting. This picture was used in v1.1 .

    Buildings behind the Shibuya Crossing at night (original 1024×768 image). I used this picture to test the custom image header cropping feature introduced in v1.1 .

    Hi Cooper, I don’t exactly understand what is it you are trying to do. Are you trying to use wp_list_bookmarks? If so, then you can find more information at http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks . If you want the link to be center aligned, then CSS text-align is the way to go.

    Agreed – great theme. Is there a way to remove the header image completely?

    Thanks for the compliment, Lindsay.

    If you only want to remove the header image, the easiest thing to do is to remove the header.jpg image in the theme directory.

    If you want to remove the whole header section, for version 1.3.3, you need to modify certain lines in style.css file:

    div#header {
    // position: absolute;
    // top: 10px;
    display: none;
    }
    div#bodyfooter {
    // position: relative;
    // top: 350px;
    }

    Hi, I have been using this theme since 2 years ago and I really love it. I just have a little difficulty with the newest version 1.3.3. In IE, the entire header shifts to the right. I verified that the header and all my pictures fit into the 500 px width limit. Is there anyway that I can fix this? Or is there anyway I can download the older version of 1.0 or 1.1? Thanks!

    Hi Valerie, thank you for reporting the error and for using the theme.
    Version 1.3.4 fixes the header position problem you’re having. This version not yet available from wordpress.org, so I’ll email it to you.

    Hi Cliffano, great theme! just a quick question, is there a way to make the header image rotate using the image rotater plug in? It would be amazing for us to be able to do this since we are using this for fund raising blog for an expedition.
    thanks
    Chris

    Hi Chris, I’ll look into making the theme works well with the image rotator plugin in the next release. Hopefully I can release it in the next day or two.
