Black Aperture

Black Aperture is an all-in-one news and reviews theme specifically catered to video games. It’s built for WP 2 .7+ and doesn’t require any plugins to run out of the box.

Main Features

• Unique featured posts showcase requires minimal effort to take advantage of.
• Dynamic image resizing for various thumbnails used through-out the theme. Upload once, and see the image used all over in different sizes and aspect ratios.
• Custom built theme settings panel within WP-Admin that allows you to customize the theme without editing any templates. Change the accent colour used in the nav and headings using a colour picker, switch from 3 columns to 2 by selecting a checkbox, construct the main navigation bar, and even manage ads.
• Default 3 column layout can be changed to 2 (removes left sidebar) from WP-Admin.
• Both sidebars are widgetized.
• Custom widgets for the 3 main ad spots, along with a recent posts list.
• Change the logo to plain text (which makes use of the Blog Title and Tagline settings) or replace it with your own image without touching any code.
• Super lean markup and CSS , makes advanced customization a pleasure.
• Tested on Windows and Mac – IE6 -8, Firefox 2 & 3, and Safari 3 & 4. Some details are toned down for older versions of IE, but nothing is broken.
• Support for WP-PageNavi and Subscribe to Comments plugins out of the box!

Requirements

• Black Aperture uses Tim McDaniels’ TimThumb script for resizing the images used in the featured posts sections and in archive listings.TimThumb requires the GD library, which is available on any host sever with PHP 4 .3+ installed.
