Latest version 1.0.8 (20/11/2008).
- Fixed some font issues.
- Styled blockquote, code tags in comments.
Version 1.0.7 (05/11/2008).
- Made XHTML code valid again. My previous updates broke it.
Version 1.0.6 (05/11/2008).
- Reorganized the way I do modifications to my CSS file (thanks for raising this issue Joseph Scott & E-namers). Now everyone would be able to load this theme without any issues.
Version 1.0.5 (04/11/2008).
- Added an addittional option which controls font size of the whole template (smaller, bigger). Big font looks really nice, don’t forget to try (I’m currently using this preference on my blog).
- Fixed sidebar’s paddings. Any widget would look nice now.
- Fixed search widget styles.
- Some minor design fixes.
Initial version 1.0.0 (02/10/2008).
“Fancy” is a free WordPress theme which really lets your blog stand out from the crowd. Make your blog unique by changing the primary and secondary blog colors (pink, yellow, green), background pattern (available over 20 background variations), banner etc through an options page. In addition you have the ability to choose the color of sidebar blocks (violet, yellow, green).
Tech folks might find interesting that we built this theme based on CSS framework “Blueprint”. If you like to make grid visible, just put “showgrid” class on the main div which already has the class “container”.

- Ability to choose a background from over 20 variations.
- Sidebar blocks available in 3 colors (pink, yellow, green).

Wow thanks this is a great theme.

Thanks for the kind words, I see it really fits well your spongebob’s website

By the way, if you want to get rid of the upper white space, you need to change 2 things:
1. remove the whole div < div class="span-24 header" > from index.php, page.php and single.php
2. change the paddings of container class (you would have to edit style.css.php).
from:
div.container {
padding: 30px 17px 20px;
}to:
div.container {
padding: 15px 17px 20px;

Thanks i really like this template

[...] The first WordPress Theme that I’ll be taking look at is the Fancy Theme. when I first thought of rendering this kind of service (sort of review of some good themes) to my readers, this theme was the first one that caught my eyes and just like mentioned on it’s list of features, it makes your blog stand out from the others.

I failed to install it properly. It looks like it loses its styles when beeing activated. But it installs ok at the other site. Actually there is no difference between them. Both are Wordpress 2.6.3. But at the one it runs and at the another doesn’t. Why?
-
Press E-namers to see how it looks like. I put the link to the site where it runs incorrectly
-
E-namers, the ability to change the main color, background variations through an options page requires a dynamic CSS file.
It means that instead of static style.css, I use style.css.php. It seems that your server doesn’t want to interpret style.css.php file. As a result it gets blank http://www.creactor.ru/wp-content/themes/fancy/style.css.php and you lose all the styles.
It’s server side thing, I’m still not sure how to fix.
Well, there’s one way but you will lose an option page… Just copy CSS file from my website, put everything in yours style.css and change “style.css.php” to “style.css” in header.php file.

Thank you very much for the response. I have transferred the site to the hosting with the php5 support and it runs ok now. The previous was php4.
-
I used it on my blog - thanks.
-
I’m glad you liked it
Green color suits your blog very well. -
E-namers, I fixed your issue and released 1.0.6 version.
You may use your old web hosting company now
-
Green color suits your blog very well
It’s a “must have” for me

How do I change colors of boxes in sidebar?
-
Ximo, go to your admin panel, choose Design => Widgets and there you have the ability to assign your widgets to any color box you want (green, yellow, pink).
-
Thanks a lot Now it looks great!
-
i use Pink (pattern 1) as the background, it works fine in Firefox. but in IE, the background does not show.
-
kimji, I tried to validate your HTML code (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kimji.net%2F) and it failed.
It seems that some widget or due to the encoding issues the HTML code is broken that’s why you lose the background in IE. I also noticed another issue: the content of the sidebar’s boxes are horizontally centered.
I’d suggest to try disabling some of your widgets (like the player) or reinstall the theme, hope it helps.
-
thank you so much,
it helps! -
I would like to use a color other than pink green or yellow for my main color. Whre in the stylesheet can I edit that?
-
Nevermind, I found it in custom.php. I just changed all the “pink” items to the colors I wanted. Thanks for the template!

Hi,
Love your theme! I’m trying to do a modification to it before putting it in use, but since I don’t know any php it’s hard to understand how I should do it.
This is what I want to do
Under TAGS: TAG X, TAG Y, TAG Z
I want to have comment displayed like this;
It works fine, but I want it to be in the same font size as TAG X, Y and Z.
Is this possible?
-
Hmm,
The PHP-code disappeared.
?php comments_popup_link('INGA KOMMENTARER', 'EN KOMMENTAR', '% KOMMENTARER'); ?Like this
-
I use it for my blog, didn’t know julia seeliger does too
did some kind of handwork et voilà
… I’m going to work on a translation into German if it’s okay to you. -
dogma p, sure, why not
-
Couldn’t figure it out, and couldn’t wait. I’ll have to look into it later.
Thanks again for a great theme.
-
Mats, you’ll have to create a custom class or simply wrap your php code with a span tag and put this style like this:
span style="font-size: 12px;">
?php comments_popup_link(’INGA KOMMENTARER’, ‘EN KOMMENTAR’, ‘% KOMMENTARER’); ?
/span>PS I had to strip the first symbol of span tag in order to be displayed in comments
-
Thanks.
I’ll try it soon and see if it’ll work or not.

Hi AZ,
I’m using your Vista WordPress Theme and like it alot. Thank You!
I don’t yet have a lot of tech skill, so I’m hoping you can help me -
I’d like to be able to change the outside border color.
I’d also like to try using the template without the bar that contains the tabs and search box.
Could you please tell me how to do these things?
Thank You Again,
David
