SuperTidy theme Update

I received an email yesterday letting me know that the SuperTidy theme has also been updated to fix a Safari 5 related bug. Much like the problem I encountered with Milky the SuperTidy theme had some formatting issues for those who had installed Safari 5. 

If you’re a SuperTidy theme user, be sure to grab your update.

Slider theme

If you didn’t notice yet, there’s a brand-new theme up in the themes section as of yesterday titled Slider. 

Just to show how quick and easy it can be to build a new Kiwi theme I set out to make a stylish design that would include animations and very stylized buttons and such. Took me just a couple of hours, including initial sketches, graphic design and coding, as well as drawing up an icon for the theme.

You can really truly build some very professional themes for Kiwi in a relatively short period of time.

Give Slider a try.
