ClearView Wordpress Theme
I always loved the function and simplicity of the i3Theme but never liked the looks of it at all. So I went to work to change the basic look and feel of the theme. While I was working on it I found the Unstandard theme and took the way that that theme used post imaging and put it into this theme as well. You use your post images the same way that you would if using the Unstandard theme. So here is the ClearView Wordpress Theme. There are 2 version of the theme below. One uses the post images and the other just uses the post text as the original i3Theme did. Have fun and thank for downloading. Any questions or comments on this download please leave them here.
Installation and Usage
To install simply unzip and put contents in the themes folder of your Wordpress installation.
To use the post images create a 495px x 188px lead graphic. While composing an article, create a new ‘key’ under Custom Fields titled lead_image. For the corresponding value, paste the direct URL to the hosted image. If you would rather not use the post_image i have a version that also displays the post content like the i3Theme.
Requirements
This theme has only been tested on Wordpress 2.1 and above. If you are using anything under 2.1 please update your Wordpress installation. I am giving this theme away free but you may not redistribute without my permission. I would also ask that you leave a link to this site somewhere on your site.
Limitations
Because of the transparent PNG’s this theme will not look right in Internet Explorer 6 and under. I will fix this for the next release or you can solve this yourself with a simple Google search.

brilliant theme
for those who need to open the rar, i suggest this: http://www.unrarx.com/
May 13th, 2008 at 6:19 am
or http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html for leopard (on mac)
by the way…the tparent.png seems to be incomplete in this theme so problems downloading.

jMac:
Do you have a link? or can you explain more what its doing?
May 13th, 2008 at 6:39 am
I fixed the incomplete error when you try to unrar. Sorry for the mistake.
May 13th, 2008 at 6:40 am
using The Unarchiver the error is ‘could not extract the file ‘clearview-1-1/images/gif/tparent.png’
using MacPar Deluxe the error is ‘a checksum erroe(2) occurred during Unrar’
looking into the files it looks like the tparent png is zero kb..
May 13th, 2008 at 6:42 am
It should be fixed now. Sorry for the trouble.
May 13th, 2008 at 6:44 am
yep - fixed now
May 13th, 2008 at 6:49 am
Installed: http://www.jonathanmacdonald.com/
Not showing posts though…tweaking now..
May 13th, 2008 at 6:52 am
Gonna revert until I find the code line to show all post content.
May 13th, 2008 at 6:54 am
On the home page its not going to show the post content but just the post image that you define in the key. hold on ill give you the code. To show post content on the home page you wont be able to use the post_images. Is this ok?
May 13th, 2008 at 7:04 am
Sure - send the code. I think there is something possible with changing the calls to allow post_image..
May 13th, 2008 at 7:07 am
Actually, the only post_image I like is the date as in the original i3 theme.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:16 am
Yea but its a little different in placement. to make it look like the original theme without post_images download this
(Link removed. Please use downloads above)
and replace your index.php with the one provided in this download.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:21 am
hahaha - i just re-coded that myself!!!
installing now.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:23 am
all done.

thx eric
May 13th, 2008 at 7:24 am
I added an extra download for the theme that includes a version for people that don’t want to use the post_images function.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:26 am
jMac:
No problem Im glad I could help.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:08 am
fyi - post comments from other people are light text on white background so i have reverted whilst trying to sort..
May 13th, 2008 at 11:04 am
lol i guess i was in to big a hurry to get this theme out. My next one will be a lot more sorted out
May 13th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Ok released v1.5 which fixes the comment color and a few more things. Put a demo page up also.
May 13th, 2008 at 12:23 pm

May 13th, 2008 at 7:08 pm

May 13th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Thanks Eric
May 13th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
I love the transparency. Great job Eric
May 14th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Ok….check the hyperlink in the comment part of this post: http://www.jonathanmacdonald.com/?p=880#comments
It would be great if someone could let me know line of code needs to be changed?
May 14th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
jMac: The only link i see is the time and date stamp inside the comment box. Is this what your talking about?
May 14th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
The invisible link underneath the text:
“btw, jupiter analyst mark mulligan weighed in this morning on the compete post and wired article about imeem’s growth in streaming music — i’ve enclosed a link below in case you want to check it out:”
[cue: invisible link]
May 14th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Ahh i didnt see that link. Which is your point i guess. Ok add this to your style.css
.commentlist a{
color:#000000;
}
.commentlist a:hover{
color:#666666;
}
May 14th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
added…no effect - which exact line?
May 14th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
jMac: For the demo which you can see here, ( http://demo.jericosystems.com/clearview_1-0/?p=7 ) I added it to line 401
May 14th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
nope - still not working…did you remove a line too??
May 14th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Download this…
http://jericosystems.com/themes/style.css
Then copy the text from it to your css and see if that works
May 14th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
ah-ha
i originally edited in dreamweaver which inserts question marks infront of the font color numbers (when you view it in wordpress admin)
when editing it in wordpress admin it works
thx!!!!
May 14th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
No Problem. im glad your still liking the theme.
I also updated the downloads so this shouldn’t be a problem no more.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:35 am
this is just awesome.
congrats on your edit
May 15th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Thanks. Im glad you like it.
May 17th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
dude, is this rip version of derek punsalan and nik la version?
http://www.mangoorange.com/resources/i3theme/

dont remove the credit!
May 17th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
How is this a rip from his theme.. it looks nothing like his theme. and if you would read the information above i give full credit to the parts of the code i used from other themes. Please read the content before you bash the product. The “image” tag in the content is put there by Wordpress not Derek.
May 18th, 2008 at 6:32 am
in the theme footer
May 18th, 2008 at 6:37 am
The only thing that still remains from both themes is the icons and the java script which neither of them created. Saying that i stole from Derek is like saying every Wordpress theme that uses post imaging is copying off of him.
May 31st, 2008 at 1:47 pm
This is perfect I havent had any problems from it so far.
