OnStage Theme for Actors

2.0 is here!!!

10.7.2009 – What’s new in OnStage Theme 2.0? Plenty. First, the theme now has options that allow you to choose a Light or Dark color scheme. The dark scheme is based on the original design, the light is all new. OnStage Theme for Actors is also easier than ever to set up. Simply install the theme and configure the theme from the options page. You can still use the NextGen Gallery Slide Show on the front page, but you no longer have to. You can simply paste in a link to the photo you want to show on the home page. Finally, OnStage Theme for Actors may be the first theme to incorporate PODS CMS Framework into a theme release. Included in the theme folder is a pod-package that can be imported into the the Pods CMS plugin to create a Youtube video gallery.
