Slim is a highly customizable theme with built-in color picker that will allow you to change the color of every aspect of the theme, it comes with a javascript image slider in the header so you can showcase rotating images for your unique header region, it’s built upon a very solid and well coded framework, it comes with some great Google font integration (droid sans and droid serif), it includes a unique gallery template with PrettyPhoto integration…and much more!
Unlimited Rotating Header Images
I have included a very unique and cool feature to this theme that I haven’t really seen before in a free theme, which is a rotating image gallery for the header that allows you to showcase multiple header images with a fade in and out effect as opposed to just using one header image. These work with the custom post type “header images” and the WordPress featured image.
Slim WordPress Theme Panel (Unlimited Color Schemes)
Below is a quick screenshot of the Slim theme panel showing you the built-in color picker that will allow you to change every color of your theme. Thanks Pippin’s Pages for helping me set this up!
Gallery Page Template
The Slim WordPress Theme comes with a cool gallery style template that will allow you to showcase photos in a very elegant way, with built in prettyPhoto integration and works by using the “image” custom post format together with the “gallery” page template.1. Select image for your post type
2. Create new page and select the “gallery” template
Resizing Your Images
The Slim WordPress Theme doesn’t require any 3rd party resizing scripts. WordPress will re-size all the images for you upon upload. If you already have images in your media library you will have to download the “Regenerate Thumbnail Plugin” and run it to re-size all your images from your media library.Theme License (important)
The Slim theme has been licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. This means that you can use it freely for your blog, but you can not redistribute any altered version of the theme and above all you can NOT sell this theme or use it in a client’s website (without permission)! I’ve seen hundreds of my free themes being sold in the past and this isn’t fair for both me or your client. Have some decency please.Slim WordPress Theme Features
