I just release another update to Slate that fixes a couple of bugs in IE. Below are the release notes:
1.2 – 12/02/2011 – Fixed bug with logo not displaying in IE8. Fixed z-index bug with main nav dropdowns in IE (dropdowns were behind some elements). Moved jQuery function for image hover opacity from superfish.js to functions.js.
I just released a new version of Slate (1.1) with a few fixes. Here are the full release notes:
1.1 – 11/26/2011 – Fixed issue with Breadcrumbs not showing all pages in trail. Removed page-meta div from blog_entry.php and pb_post.php and incorporated it in the pagemeta.php file. Updated ProBlog page type (pb_post.php) with newest trackback area. Added style for layouts in mobile.css file – made it so layout columns go to 100% width when viewed in mobile browser.
I’m extremely excited to announce we just released our newest theme – Slate. Slate is an HTML5 theme with a clean, minimal, responsive, and mobile-friendly grid design. It has lots of features, including four different styles/skins, 16 different page types/layouts, drop down navigation, and four custom page list templates. Slate is meant to be a great base/starting point for any design and is easily customizable.
Check out Slate now and see all the features!
A new version of the Featured Content Slider was just released with a minor update. See release notes below:

1.5.1 – Made ‘back to top’ arrow only show up once user has scrolled down. Fixed positioning of Show/Hide button when logged in as editor (when concrete5 toolbar is at top).
Yesterday, I released a new version of Luminosity. Here are the updates:

We just released another great add-on for concrete5! Related Content Panel is a slide out panel that displays related pages.
Related Content Panel is a set of custom templates (light and dark style) for the Related Pages block that creates a content panel that slides out at a predefined scroll position. It reveals a teaser panel with links to related pages and it can be expanded to full page size to show more. A custom slider allows you to scroll through many items in the panel.

The book includes the following chapters: Continue reading
