Upon updating this theme, I couldn’t stop at just the changes I previously made. So below, I am presenting a before and after for Mixin’ Styles latest features.
Link Style
Link styles in Mixin’ Styles version 1.0
Link styles in Mixin’ Styles version 1.1
Page Links
Page links before weren’t very prominent
Now they take on the button style
Header Menu
Mixin’ Styles previous hover only tab menu
Mixin’ Styles new jQuery menu
Mixin’ Styles menu wide tab style
Mixin’ Styles menu buttons style
Sidebar Layout
Right side only sidebar before
Left sidebar in version 1.1
Bottom sidebar in version 1.1
Featured Images
Featured images in Mixin’ Styles were only 100px wide
New standard featured image is thumbnail size (150 x 150 px)
New option for a medium sized featured image
New option for a large sized featured image
Gallery
Galleries in version 1.0 used standard WordPress styling
In Mixin’ Styles 1.1, galleries use html5 code, with highlighting for linked thumbnails. Gallery images are now given rounded corners
…and slightly different styling for gallery blocks with the same highlighting
Once again, the new version is available at GitHub and the theme’s home page. For this theme, I am keeping two versions in the case that I implement SASS, Gulp or other build tools in the future. Then, the GitHub version will include the (possible) build tools.
Future updates will focus on Gutenberg compatibility.
Thank you if you downloaded and tried out this theme.
