Reply To: Can we use Ally slider on Optimal theme

I understand completely. I also try to stick to the plugins and software offered by StudioPress and anyone they recommend. I like things that are designed to be simple to use, and simple to customize. That was the reason why I chose Genesis in the first place.

StudioPress adds community themes one at a time, since they check through each one to make sure everything is setup properly. So hopefully we can get more featured there (I’d like all of them to be there)…..but it will probably be a while.

I have a quick question for you if you have the time –

I’m thinking of updating Optimal based on the latest Genesis 1.9/2.0 standards. It would still have the same design, but it would be completely re-written from the ground up, and it would be 1152px wide just like the Epik theme and all of the newer SP themes. This would mean an almost entirely new theme, but better. The only issue is if someone made a lot of updates to their old theme, it would probably be difficult to transfer those updates since a lot of code would be different. Since you’re an Optimal user, what are your thoughts on doing something like this? I’ll be asking a few others this same question. I just really want all of my themes to be as perfect and up to date (design and code wise) as possible.

Thanks
