Please welcome our first theme designed by our developer Elio Rivero - Fullscreen (demo). It started with a simple discussion about fullscreen galleries and Elio suggested to take responsibility to design it. We agreed to it because we thought it would be fun to have a theme designed from a developer's perspective. After hours and hours of hard work and collaboration, Fullscreen turned out to be a gorgeous photo gallery theme. The entire process was very fun and we are extremely happy with the outcome. It is the best responsive theme to showcase your photos in a complete fullscreen mode.

Big fan of Pinterest? You've got to love this new theme we have to offer - Pinboard. It features an auto stacking layout with infinite scroll as seen on the Pinterest desktop site. If you are unfamilar with the term "infinite scroll", it means that new posts are loaded automatically when you hit to the bottom of the page. The stacking layout works perfectly and responsively on any resolution (both desktop or mobile devices such as iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, and Android). Check our demo and resize your browser window to see how the layout adapts.

We've been working very hard on improving the Themify framework. For those who are not a big fan of TimThumb, we have a good news in this latest release. Now you can use the WordPress generated thumbnails for the post image instead of the TimThumb script with our themes. Below are the details about this update.
WordPress Feature Image
Themify themes uses WordThumb (similar to TimThumb script) to generate thumbnail images with different dimensions on the fly. However, some users are unable to use the image script due to server compatibility. Users have always been able to disable the image script via the theme option panel, but then images have to be manually cropped before uploading to the server which can be an inconvenience for some users. For this reason, we enhanced our framework to allow you to select the thumbnails that are generated with WordPress. With the new version, once the image script is disabled, a dropdown will be available for you to choose which image size to use. The image sizes (thumbnail, medium, large) can be set at WordPress Media Settings. In other words, you can specify 250 x 250px medium size to be used in the archive pages and 560 x 300px large size for single post page.
Regenerate Thumbnails
We've also integrated a regenerate thumbnails feature in the framework. The regenerate thumbnails allows you to re-generate a new set of thumbnails that are already uploaded to the blog. This tool is useful if you've changed any of the thumbnail dimensions on the Media Settings page.
Post Image Migrator
In this new framework version, the post image uploaded via the Themify Custom Panel will be attached to the post and set as the WordPress Featured Image automatically. For those who are using the older versions where a custom field was used to handle the post image, you can use the Post Image Migrator to convert the Post Image custom field to WordPress Featured Image.
Shortcode Button
Along with many new parameters added to the shortcodes, we've added a shortcode button on the editor to make inserting shortcodes easier and faster. Now you can specify the shortcode parameters using the visual dialog box.

Please welcome our third ecommerce theme, Shopo. It is designed for larger shops with large selection of products. It has many promotional areas: duel navigations in the header, welcome message, feature slider and product slider. Functionality wise, it is similar to the other two ecommerce themes that we have: MinShop and ShopDock. Unlike the traditional shopping cart experience, the ajax shopping cart built in this theme allows your customers to add/remove items from the cart without redirecting the page. And of course it is responsive! The layout automatically adapts to user's viewport area beautifully. It works on desktop and mobile devices such as iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, and Android.
As usual we are offering a 30% disount code for this new theme. Use the coupon code "shopo" for a 30% discount off this theme until May 31, 2012.
