Gluttony

This is a beta release for Gluttony. Gluttony is a two-column, widget-ready, rounded-corners WordPress theme. It’s the sixth theme of the Seven Deadly Sins series to be released.

Originally, I wanted to integrate Javascript in order to create an expandable and collapsible food menu layout. But after several tries with several different scripts, it didn’t work out that way. Therefore, this beta-release (version 0.1) does not include any Javascript. In the future, the official version 1 will include the Javascript to add the expandable and collapsible posts feature.

If you can help me make that happen, please leave a comment or contact me. Overall, this theme is work in progress and there’s a lot left to do.

Design notes

Gluttony’s expandable food menu looked too much like one of my previous themes (Braintied) so I tweaked it and somehow ended up with a two column theme. Unless I change my mind to do another revision, I’m finished with the basic layout. Next is adding the details and coloring it. I have an idea of what I want, but it’s not clear. It should look warm and earthy at the same time. However, yellow, green, and brown might not be the best combination for this layout. Check out the revision.

For Gluttony, I threw away the initial concept (which was supposed to get posted this morning) and ended up with something… less predictable. The image below is not complete yet and it’s only a preview. If you haven’t noticed, this theme is an expandable food menu. I have a long way to go and still don’t really know how to wrap my head around this design. I tackled it without any planning. It was just an idea I had to put down. Also, I doubt that it’ll be useful for anyone because it’s so… awkward looking, but I like it.

Of the Seven Deadly Sins theme series, Gluttony is the second last to be released. The last one is Sloth. This poll is either promoting user participation or simply laziness from Small Potato. In any case, you get to vote for your favorite out of the available color schemes for Gluttony. The most popular scheme will be the default style for Gluttony’s upcoming theme release. The rest of the schemes will be worked on and released at a later date. The poll will be open until Monday afternoon.
