Herman Updated v1.1.1

Posted on 6 January 2013 4 Comments

The Herman child theme has been updated to version 1.1.1. The update is a very minor one meaning you don’t need to do anything if you don’t want to.

While testing our current child themes for possible compatibility issues with the upcoming release of Genesis 1.9 I noticed the responsive styling for the #subnav menu could be slightly tweaked.

At full screen, the #subnav menu has a background colour of #f5f5f5 with a top and bottom border defined as 1px solid #ddd. At the 600px break point the background colour and top/bottom borders are removed. I deleted the rule that controls that.

Have a look at these 2 screen shots to see what I mean.

Subnav menu with background colour and top/bottom border removed. (v1.1.0)
subnav before

Subnav menu with background colour and top/bottom border restored. (v1.1.1)
subnav after

As I said, this is a very minor update. I think the menu looks better with the background colour and borders restored – you may not.

If you don’t want to download the new version of the theme you can simply change a couple of lines in the style sheet. Look toward the bottom of the style sheet where the responsive elements are defined, specifically Line 2362.

#subnav {
	background: none;
	border: none;
}

Just delete that bit.

As usual you can find the demo and download links on the official theme pages.

    Wow, that’s a great looking theme. Herman child theme is clean and professional looking. Do you have any plans for a souped up version of AgentPress?

    Hi Scott,

    Thanks for the kind words about Herman.

    With respect to AgentPress, I won’t be going down that road. Although AgentPress was released under the GPL it wouldn’t be right on my part to take one of their paid themes and re-release it as my own. I prefer developing my own stuff. Besides, the folks at StudioPress are light years ahead of me – there is no way I could improve on anything they do. :)

    Thanks so much for the amazing theme!

    Is there a way to remove the extra whitespace that appears around the theme in the mobile version(s)?

    Thanks again. :)

      Hi Shanice. Glad you like it.

      To answer your question, unfortunately not. The first break point appears at 960px. If you look at the responsive section of the style sheet you’ll see this,

      @media only screen and (max-width: 960px)

      To do what you want would mean creating additional break points and adding the appropriate style rules – lots of work. :)
