To round out the recent theme updates, I have uploaded the latest version, 1.5, of NoNa. These updates, like the other theme updates, were mostly directed at addressing functions that are being deprecated in WordPress 3.4. The balance of the updates were mostly aesthetic in nature.

Desk Mess Mirrored 2.0.1

Edward Caissie — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:53:06 +0000

Just a quick little update to Desk Mess Mirrored, but more importantly a fix to an issue that has bothered me for a very long time. Although not a very common one reported as the theme author it is something I have almost always noted: there is no pin in the sidebar widget if there is no title being used … well, no more. A quick bit of code (and it was really simple, too) fixes that problem.

Update to the latest version of Desk Mess Mirrored, or simply install it for the first time and have a look!

== Version 2.0.1 ==
Changelog: February 15, 2012
= Code =

= CSS =
* Added z-index to “cup” to keep it on top of “sticky notes”
* Adjusted `#logo h2` element text position higher for better cross-browser compatibility

Desk Mess Mirrored 2.0

Edward Caissie — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:34:19 +0000

Desk Mess Mirrored version 2.0 should be showing up in your Dashboard|Updates later today if you have not already seen it. Go ahead, get the new version! It was great to add the new features and better documentation … I know that’s a bit geeky, but there you go.

It’s not so much that 2.0 is any sort of milestone, per se, as I generally follow a similar version numbering system as WordPress; although I must admit there was definitely a push to do something significant because it is a point-zero release after all.

That being said, I added the functionality of some of the core supported post-formats (aside, quote, and status), which was the big push for this release, as well as improving the overall typography.

For a full list of the changes, please have a look at the changelog below.

Desk Mess Mirrored 2.0-RC1

Just a quick note to those using the Desk Mess Mirrored theme and any Child-Themes of it, the latest version (2.0) is now set to its first Release Candidate (RC). Please feel free to have a look around this site to get an idea of the visual changes (note the new typography) as well as other aesthetic changes.

IF you wish to upgrade with the RC versions, once the final versions of these themes are released you will be able to update as you have done in the past … in the terms of WordPress version 2.0 is newer than version 2.0-RC1, etc.

Enjoy!

NoNa 1.4

Edward Caissie — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:40:50 +0000

It’s been a very long time since this theme was updated … more from time constraints than anything else as the majority of the updates are as noted in its Trac ticket:

It looks like lots of changes, however most of the stuff is CSS related as well as code formatting. There are no visual issues and this Theme is now approved.
Review was based on Diff.
Trac Ticket #5740

This is the recent Changelog that also provides an overview of what was worked on as well … personally I think there was more than CSS and code formatting but I know the reviewer did a thorough job all the same; feel free to read for yourself.

Desk Mess Mirrored 1.9.1

Edward Caissie — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:01:53 +0000

Yesterday the latest version of Desk Mess Mirrored was approved into the WordPress Extend Themes repository. This version, 1.9.1, is more a maintenance release than anything else and was noted as such on Trac ticket #5877:

I consider this a maintenance release prior to releasing version 2.0.
The diff may give a difference impression as the majority of changes shown in the diff are due to code white-space and layout changes rather than actual code changes.
As referenced in the Changelog as of November 29, 2011:
