As the proud owner and creator of WPCandy, I am pleased to present you my very first public WordPress theme.

Minimalistic and clean. I like it!
Very nice & clean theme, thanks.
How easy is it to add tag support to it?
Good Work.
@Ben – What do you mean by ‘tag support’?
@Michael Castilla – I probably didn’t word that in the best way, I would like to add the list of tags to each post.

Errm, how do i save the image? Im using ps cs3.. there isnt just…
Have a look at this, what do i pick?

@Anto – Select Diffusion Transparency Dither and you should be good to go.
It still aint working
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/5070/77571861jw5.png
This is what i saved as. Anything wrong here?
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/9030/84551087th9.png
@Anto – Hmm can you send me a link to the site you’re testing it on?
@Anto & Michael Castilla – The same happens when I use CS3 too.
@Ben – I ended up explaining to Anto how to save the image correctly. Try the following steps and see if it works:
1. Edit the text
2. Crop the image to fit the text
3. Hide the Background layer
3. Go to File > Save For Web with the following settings: http://wpcandy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/settings.png
Yea works to a charm.
If its outta place, just play about with the padding in the css or just move your text up near the top and right to the left
on the psd.
Good luck get back to us, let us know if it worked for you.
Michael.
1 Thing mate. I dont know if anyone else has commented with this, well none that i have seen. But in FF, i dunno about IE, but FF, when you scroll to the botom of the page, and try to click the edit link for the post, it doesnt let ya.
I dont know if its just me, does it happen for you?
@Anto – Which post are you referring to?
Like the last post on the page, of this theme.
If your loged in as admin, and try to click the edit button it doesnt work. lol.

@Michael Castilla – I’m still having problems editing the PSD, these are the setting I used, you can see the results on my site.

@Ben – Alright let’s see. It looks like your Matte color is off. The following settings should work.

@Michael Castilla – Almost there, I can see that there is no white border now, but, it is still not aligned properly, I opened the PSD file and edited the text, I have not done any re-sizing.

Problems in wp2.5 anyone? Mike?
@Anto Its ok here.
wpcandyv1 at wp2.5
My nav links are just staying green.. and not turning.. when mouse over…
Nav Links stay green in FF, but in IE 7, Home stays green, and the rest are white. But still no rollover effect
What the hell ?
Simple and good!

dito – no rollover effect here in wp 2.5
@Michael
I tried all of the methods listed in the comments and in the original post itself and I’m still coming up with garbage as a result. Nothing approaching the quality of the default logo. I e-mailed you with a PSD earlier to see if you advise me on what was going wrong, but received no response (leading me to think it may have been spam).
With the disappeared background, dither to 242424, GIF and all that jazz I end up with what was once beautiful text based entirely on the original logo, but with my site’s name, surrounded by like a halo of fuzzy whiteness. It’s quite strange.
Could you e-mail me and give me a hand? I can’t figure out what’s wrong and love the theme too much to give up on it. This is really the last thing I need to change before it’s perfect!
Hey Michael.
I’ve started using WP Candy as the theme for my blog and am very impressed with it. The problem I have come across is that there are no scroll-overs in the header – could this be because I have WP 2.5?
Thanks
Jonathan

Glad to see you liked my scrollovers script
Looks good (even though I do say so myself!)
This is an awesome, clean, sexy template!!! Thanks for sharing!!
The scrollovers don’t work! I’ve tried everything to fix them, but I had no luck. Can anyone help me?
How would I remove the iframe and incorporate the navigation within the same frame as the content?
I was just curious – I really like your wpcandy 1 theme – can we use the design for non-word press stuff? I was just curious – I wanted to play with it in a new rails app I am working on.
Thanks
Great theme! One question, though. I’d like MY logo to be 2-3X larger. Is there a way for me to do that without messing up the header/navbar? Or am I asking for trouble? Thanks!
Very nice and clean layout. I’ll love to use it.
Hi, the sidebar seems to collapse with IE6, maybe duplicated margin/padding.
Keep your excellent Work!
I hope i can list your themes at my site.
Thank you.

Looking for a name for this?
Why not “Maximize Content” or something like that.
I love the fact that you have a minimal header, so people don’t have to scroll right away.
Why do so many theme writers seem to like that kind of theme?
I have just down loaded
WPCandy v1 WordPress Theme
but I the the last date that there seems to be any modifications is 18/3/08.
Is this the latest version?
I see that there have been fixes after this date
Love the look of this but I am too computer illiterate to be able
to fix anything my self.
@Steve – Yeah that’s the latest version. I do plan on updating the theme soon, so look for that soon.
