Rainbow Feather in Japanese

I have fixed a bug in the English theme today (and all other themes) and also finished the Japanese theme version.

You can try the demo on my themeviewer or check out some sample excerpts below.
Resources as usual at http://www.h4x3d.com/themes/feather/rainbow-feather-resources/

Note: In case you are trying the theme and see plenty of ??? instead of the text you will need to install the east-asian language pack for your OS. Since this is a localized version of my Rainbow Feather theme the target group will be able to display the theme just fine. See below screenshots

Japanese translation of rainbow feather

I finished the pictures for the Japanese Translation of Rainbow Feather today -
unfortunately I cannot put the translation into the plaintext UTF-8 encoded PHP-Files.
Update, if you have the language pack for Eastern Languages installed you can enjoy the whole beauty!

Does anyone know a walk-around for this problem?

Credits for the translation (I do not speak Japanese I must admit) go out to Yujin Takayanagi , thank you mate!

first of all, get rid of the following two things in the header.php:



window.onload = function() {
new SmoothScroll({duration:2000});
}

because if you use lightbox (with prototype it does not play along that well.)
if you want to use lightbox with moo,
you should use slimbox

the file (feather.zip) comes with different headers:
one for slimbox and moo.tools (smallest) default install
one for lightbox (no moo.tools) bigger

also, see the manual.

As mentioned earlier, I worked (and still work) hard on Rainbow Feather; I had many people help me out with the work for Rainbow Feather, especially the translations for the localized version of Rainbow Feather, are beautiful. However embedding all those changes takes quite a while; also creating photoshop files for every language and every item (every button, every heading) is a time-intense process. I have finished the English Version to 100% and am now working my way through the German, Turkish, Portuguese, French and Romanian version. Here is a quick teaser video (Windows Media File) that shows how beautifully the widget-support is built-in, as well as the native Lightbox/Slimbox support, but also the cross-browser compatibility. Rainbow Feather is now looking all the same in every modern browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 6, Safari). Also, I added more php-fanciness to auto-cut long titles, a (currently) four pages manual and even more… please stay tuned and don’t hesitate to bug me/leave a comment.

UPDATE: been working all evening and morning, English, German, French versions are done 100%, now working on pt_BR, tr_TR and ro_RO

if you update wordpress you can also get categories in the bottom right corner (the new function is wordpress 2.3 only I guess)

yours,
jez

p.s. also if you dont have posts in the yellow area:
check the single.php or page.php or whatever file and look out for

a function at the top saying something like ?cat=5

this outputs the posts from category 5.
you have to change that to a category which you have.
check the wordpress admin “manage” -> categories and see the id of the category you want shown there.
hope that helps!

Happy New Year – translation news

Happy New Year everyone, I have some interesting news for you guys -
I just received an email from a Dane asking for permission to translate my Rainbow Feather WordPress Theme to Danish -
Funny he mentions the localization issue right now, as I am also working on Brazilian translations for all my WordPress themes. I have been getting plenty of kudos and acknowledgements in regard to the feather theme every week – thank you for that!

Due to an exam that is coming up at 11th January I have to pause my work at the moment – I have finished translating 8 themes so far (it is really a lot of work)

Regarding his question, I hope it is not too bold of me to ask everyone to hang on until the 14th of January for me to send/upload the files.
When I do stuff, I do it right – I want to offer the PSD files (that I was hogging till now) to everyone who wants to translate my work.

I really appreciate every effort and thank you a lot. Happy new year!

Many dutch and belgium people asked me to customize their rainbow feather installs.
Most wanted buttons in their native tongue,
so here is a start with readon.png and readon2.png.

For the other graphics (like recently, monthly archives, login etc)
I can only encourage you to do it either your own or stick to my english ones till I can free up some more time to create them.

Quick guide to wetfloor graphics as used in my Rainbow Feather (v2) theme:

Font: Georgia
Fontsize: 20pt SHARP

duplicate the layer,
press ctrl+t,
set height to -100% (flips it upside down),
select layer mask,
do gradient
save.

enjoy :)

Rainbow Feather theme version 2

Hello everyone, since my vacations are coming to an end soon, I thought it would be a good idea to release a bugfixed version of my Rainbow Feather theme. The old version had some nasty bugs in Internet Explorer 6. Until yesterday I wasn’t really able to test it, but when traveling north to one of my mates via train I had ten hours of time to fix things up. If the themeviewer will ever be open to updates (again) I will be posting the update there too of course, but for now the bugfixed version is available on the original Rainbow Feather theme page.

A live demo is available at wordpress.h4x3d.com

Valid CSS

Now featuring categories!

Valid xhtml (just be sure to keep it that way by adding alt tags to your images)

Cropped title of WordPress recent items list (cut off after 30 chars)

I did not know that the w3c site got a facelift – it looks great!

Thanks:

Massive thanks to Burkhard â€œcypherâ€ Mudrick of Spielraumdesign.com for helping me to fix up things. He worked on a beautiful mod of my Rainbow Feather theme, which is soon to be released to the English audiance (currently it is all in German). Take a peek at his version of Rainbow Feather on my preview page.
Thanks to teknobites for including me on their ten most unique themes

Thanks to clazh for featuring me on his favourite theme list

Hey guys, one of my friends has created a modification (I’d say almost a new theme) based on my Rainbow Feather WordPress theme. It is IE6, IE7, Firefox and Safari compatible (which currently the Rainbow Feather is not – IE6 speaking of). Once the themeviewer is back up, I am going to release it together with douzens of bug fixes for my other themes.

Below you will find some cut out previews.
The theme is currently localized to fit the German language, but I will take care of that before releasing it.
Also, I have found a way to truncutate the output of the “recent posts” and other titles, so that they do not break the containers and overlap the date.
