The Coolest Symbiostock Version Yet 2.7.0

No joke, this is the best one.

2.7.0, 2.7.1

As of 2.7.1 visuals have been vastly improved. Layout is organized and clean by default. More work is being done, but here are some good example sites:

[*]http://www.atstockillustration.com/[/*]
[/list]

This has been a gentle process of converting Symbiostock to the modern (responsive) web as well as adding some higher-end features.

The coolest feature is unquestionably the “Live Customizer” which utilizes a WordPress feature to do live edits to your site’s appearance, then commit them when you are happy with them.

LIVE SITE DESIGN EDITOR

Go to APPEARANCE >> CUSTOMIZE and APPEARANCE >> CUSTOM HEADER to see some awesome stuff.

You can see the changes live as you are modifying them. Its helpful for people who do not know CSS. I’m still adding options (I must do it carefully so everything is consistent and does not break)

In the customize area you can:

[list=*]
[*]Choose Heading Font (google fonts)[/*]
[*]Choose General Site (google fonts)[/*]
[*]Position Navigation bar (changed over from settings)[/*]
[*]Toggle search options (changed over from settings)[/*]
[*]Set background color[/*]
[*]Set header/background image (main splash area above menu)[/*]
[*]Set background image (see http://subtlepatterns.com/ for some awesome options)[/*]
[*]Set heading color[/*]
[*]Set content/text color[/*]
[*]Control colors of every panel on image page.[/*]
[*]Set corner radius (if any) on minipics in search and widgets.[/*]
[*]Plugins suggested for installation / auto-install and activation of chosen plugins[/*]
[*]Viewcounting for keywords! Logged for Hub Search engines.[/*]
[*]Search log details recorded. Logged for Hub Search engines.[/*]
[/list]

…plus more design options.

Take note you can upload a background graphic to your header now.
