Hey everyone,

Been working on this theme and was wondering if i could get your opinion, and maybe suggest a few missing features you’d like to see?

Right now i’m integrating Live Updates, a visual when a user gets a message, friend request, mention or invite

So other than a different skin, what new functionality does this theme have that lacks in bp-default? if its just a skin then good luck to ya? New functionality within the theme will get you further in your endeavors. Just saying!

@aronprins Its looking better and better every time I check it out! Nice work Aron! I would like to suggest a couple options. First option is to make the search form disappear for non-logged-in visitors. Second is to make the navigation menu not appear for non-logged-in visitors. These options should be something that an admin can select via the back-end. Anyway it just a couple things I think would make this theme stand out from the crowd. Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, is the theme responsive at all? If not then it would also be a cool addition to the feature list. Thanks!

@shawn38 Thats one to add! Thanks

About the responsive part – im looking into making a ”fullfeatured webapp”. With that i mean fullscreen app, loadingscreens for iphone/ipad and a e.g facebook like interface.

I havent decided on that interface though, so feedback would be appreciated
Anyone knows any good mobile webapp frameworks?
Cheers,
Aron

Edit: Function added and applied on http://www.modernmanipulator.com

@aronprins: Like the first look, nice and fresh. Also the login dropdown moves smoothly. Only thing I am missing is a clear call to action on the homepage. Goodluck with the further development!

You may want to run the validator over the markup and clear up some of the errors.

@aronprins if you’re going to sell that theme for $44.95, you should allow the prospective buyers to check out the different features of the theme without having to log in and giving you their email addresses. There are other places they can buy BP themes where they can check out the merchandise first.

@mercime THanks ive turned off the Private Feature – that should open up the site

@hnla Thanks for the tip – will do

That is a steep price tag for a single theme. There is a lot of competition in the themes department and to be competitive you may want to reconsider the price. I am not trying to discourage you but it is something that should be considered.

As @hnla has explained your theme is firing off errors and I think it would be wise to postpone releasing a theme that you are charging for that has this many errors. Otherwise a lot of people may be expecting a refund.
