NoNa
The current version of NoNa on WordPress.org is 1.4
The latest working version can be found on GitHub.
*WARNING: The GitHub version may be a “work-in-progress”, please make back-ups of your current theme before using. Please be aware you are using a GitHub version at your own risk!*
Missing the pretty pin-up girl posing in the header, this grunge based theme originally known as Pinup Meets Grunge beautifully blends custom background colors. This built-in options give you the creative opportunity to truly make this theme your own. Do not be scared off by the dark look, try installing your own copy and playing with the custom background color option yourself. Remember, if you are not a fan of “blank” headers feel free to drop us a note and we can discuss additional options.

==== Readme for Nona Theme ====
@date: November 6, 2011
== Table of Contents ==
* To-Do
* Notes
* Review Tickets
* Test Environment
== To-Do ==
* [x] Menu – Theme does not currently support sub-menu items off of the main menu, this will be addressed in a future version.
* [x] Editor Style – stylesheet needs to be added/completed; add_editor_style() function can be un-commented afterward.
* [x] Clean up namespace references on theme specific functions; review generic functions using the ‘bns_’ namespace
* [x] Clean up widget code in functions.php
* [x] Clean up unnecessary backward compatibility checks
* [x] Clean up internationalization strings
* [x] Re-create main background image for better seamless tiling
* [x] Question: Should `wp_link_pages` be used after every instance of `the_content`? Yes
* [x] Sort out Internet Explorer compatibility issues: link hover and scrolling background issues; etc.
* [ ] Custom Header Images – further work is required to add appropriate code to make use of the existing child themes available from http://buynowshop.com/themes/nona/
* [ ] Review date.php template for better ways to incorporate end-user time and date settings
* [ ] Review changing post without title to use `Posted` instead of date (see Shades Theme); definitely implement if post-formats are used.
== Notes ==
* Future changelog entries will reflect commits to the GitHub repository: https://github.com/Cais/nona
* Some very light background colors will make the links hard to read when hovering over them. See the CSS element `a:hover { color: #e3e3e3; }` in style.css if you want to change this color.
== Review Tickets ==
* http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2582
* http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5740 – version 1.4
== Test Environment ==
* WordPress 3.3-beta2-19067

[...] NoNa is the direct replacement for Pinup Meets Grunge and will be carried forward as such. Here is the description from style.css: Missing the pretty pin-up girl posing in the header, this grunge based theme originally known as Pinup Meets Grunge beautifully blends user option enabled background colors. This built-in option gives you the creative opportunity to truly make this theme your own. Do not be scared off by the dark look, try installing your own copy and playing with the background color changing option yourself. Remember, if you are not a fan of “blank” headers feel free to drop us a note and we can discuss additional options. [...]
Hey Cais,
I love this theme! I would love to use it for my class website. Unfortunately I really need drop down menus and a sidebar on the the left and right side. I’m thinking those don’t fall under your famous 5 minute fix.
I just love your work. You are awesome!
Paige
@Paige – Great to see you again! Thanks for the compliments, too.
Drop-down menus and a second sidebar would definitely be more than a Five-Minute-Fix. This theme would require new graphics as well as some new code to accommodate those modifications. Both are great ideas, I may add them into a new variation of this theme.
Cool theme – Im going to run with it on my site. Im setting up a small online roleplay forum. And I really like the dark theme even though I might give it a slight shade of dark blue if it ads a feel of melencholy.
Any chance you will release a version of the blank_header.png that it truely blank?
By that I mean no girl and no flowers!
Or what I would call an early christmas present – a photoshop version so we can “add” our own elements?
@Kaare – I’m glad you like the theme. We’ll see what we can do about a blank header
Merry Christmas from the theme template designer, my wife.
Thanks a million for the PSD template
I’ll post the header I make then it’s done.
And a Merry Christmas to you.
Hi Edward and Edward’s wife!
I really love the theme but I am looking for a custom header option with no flowers, and I would like to be able to upload my own graphics into the header. Is this possible?
Thanks! –Nikki
@Nikki – Thanks for choosing the NoNa Theme, I’ve just added the NoNa PSD Template for end-users to use as a starting point for creating their own related graphics (see above). As to be able to “upload my own graphics into the header”, I am considering adding support for a WordPress core function that I believe will address this concern.
Thank you so much! Love your work.
