First xScape based theme in 2012 will be called Xposed. This will be HTML5 theme, it will have 4+4 built in color styles, one sidebar widgets area, one footer widgets area, static page showcase block, Nivo powered featured posts slider. This is portfolio, showcase and blog theme.
Theme will be completed and available during next week, and also, it will be used on the website for GD Products Center Pro plugin. Until that time, here is a little more information and few preview images.
Xposed uses 18 column Blueprint grid layout with 950px in width. Normally works as a blog based theme, but with the help of two useful layout block it can be used as portfolio or showcase theme. These blocks are for a single page, and featured posts slider. As with several previous themes, this one will use Nivo jQuery slider.
There will be 4 color schemes, and each will have two styles: one with the textured/pattern images for background and one with plain colors. This will make theme very lightweight and effective. Since it will be HTML5 theme, to retain compatibility with older browsers, Modernizr JavaScript will be used if needed.
Along with the new theme, xScape Theme Framework 1.8.1 will be released with new Google fonts and many improvements and fixes.
