I love it and will definitely use it.</p> <p>I just picked up a client that wants this same minimalist approach for her website/blog. So this is perfect timing. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-to-make-a-minimalist-thematic-child-theme#post-26771 Thu, 03 May 2012 00:44:32 +0000 barefootford 26771@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Also, thanks a bunch to HelgaTheViking for the help. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-to-make-a-minimalist-thematic-child-theme#post-26770 Thu, 03 May 2012 00:42:47 +0000 barefootford 26770@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>A few months ago Kathy from the forums here (#Helgatheviking) or (https://twitter.com/#!/Kathy_Darling) helped me customize my child theme to cut down on some of the stuff we wouldn't be using.</p> <p>We took out categories, tags, the author, borders and the header to make a very clean, minimalist looking theme. The final product is clean and can be adjusted quickly with images/colors to look very distinct. It's served us well and I wanted to make it available to you guys incase you wanted something similar. Of course, if you do use the code we'd love a link back to <a href="http://ANewBike.com" rel="nofollow">http://ANewBike.com</a> , but it's not necessary. (We're using Thematic for a bike blog where we tell short bicycle stories.)</p> <p>Anyway, here it is in Style.css and functions.php:</p> <p>af<br /> <pre><code>-------------------------------------------- Style.css text: /* Theme Name: anewbike Description: A Child Theme of thematic Template: thematic */ @import url(../thematic/style.css); #access { border-bottom:1px solid #ccc; height:5px; font-size:13px; overflow:visible; z-index:100; } #primary { border: none;} #footer { border-top:1px solid #ccc; margin-top:5px; } #blog-title { font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:60px; font-weight:medium; line-height:60px; } .skip-link {     display:none; } #access {     border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;     height:10px;     font-size:13px;     overflow:visible;     z-index:100; } /*** ESSENTIAL STYLES ***/ .sf-menu, .sf-menu * {     margin:         0;     padding:        0;     list-style:     none; } .sf-menu {     line-height:    0; { #branding { padding:20px 0 20px 0; } #main .entry-title { font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:34px; font-weight:bold; line-height:26px; padding:0 0 7px 0; } } li.content-column { float:left; margin-right:15px; width:100%; } #secondary { font-size: 3em; }</code></pre> <p>-------------------------------------------</p> <p>Functions.php text:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php //removes everything from the #header div function kia_empty_header(){ remove_action(&#39;thematic_header&#39;,&#39;thematic_brandingopen&#39;,1); remove_action(&#39;thematic_header&#39;,&#39;thematic_blogtitle&#39;,3); remove_action(&#39;thematic_header&#39;,&#39;thematic_blogdescription&#39;,5); remove_action(&#39;thematic_header&#39;,&#39;thematic_brandingclose&#39;,7); remove_action(&#39;thematic_header&#39;,&#39;thematic_access&#39;,9); } add_action(&#39;init&#39;,&#39;kia_empty_header&#39;); //removes author and meta-seperator from post meta function childtheme_override_postheader_postmeta() { $postmeta = &#39;&lt;div class=&quot;entry-meta&quot;&gt;&#39;; $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_entrydate(); $postmeta .= thematic_postmeta_editlink(); $postmeta .= &quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- .entry-meta --&gt;\n&quot;; return $postmeta; } //totally removes categories from the post footer function childtheme_override_postfooter_postcategory(){ //sound of one hand clapping } //totally removes tags from the post footer function childtheme_override_postfooter_posttags(){ //sound of one hand clapping } ?&gt;</code></pre>
