2. Very nice, just one comment, can you please make a full width version?

3. Can you make it like the twentyten theme that you can alternate the header image when the page reloads to random headers?

4. So… Why dont work in iE6~8 ?

5. Preview worked in iE… but my site no http://gaiabrasil.com.br

6. I really like the atmosphere theme and currently run one of my sites (wwww.tedsfishroom.com) and a friend’s site with it. We have noticed one issue (and we are not coders, so fixing it is a mystery to us). When viewing the sites using Explorer the date stamp for the first blog post on the page overlaps the menu bar under the header.

7. I still really like this theme. Any chance of adding an option for a left-hand sidebar on the next update? There is plenty of room.

   • Hi Ted,
     Not at the moment, the theme is a narrow theme and was designed to have the same look and feel of an earlier theme.

8. Beautiful theme! Thank you so much. One question. Is there a way to change the body background color from black to a dark blue? I noticed the CSS options in the editor section but didn’t see anything that looked like it would change the background. I know that the background outside of the actual body of the theme can be changed very easily but how about the black background that holds the text and content?

   Many thanks.

   • Hi Tom,
     There are a number of considerations you would have to make, it would not just be the content area but the sidebars, menus, borders, calendar etc;

     The best way to experiment would be to create a child theme to work with, see ’2010 Tutorial’ > ‘Getting Started’ and create a child theme importing the Atmospher 2010 theme.

     Then look at the style.css file and search for the word background, then add the styles to the child themes style.css and experiment.

9. Hi Tom, Love this theme. Nice crisp and simple. One question though – when i add google adsense code into posts and into the text widget to display adverts the ads don’t seem to appear. Is there a reason for this?

10. Hi superb work !

    I can’t find where I may change the text input color for the search box i’ts hard to read.

    Well I would like to change the text color everywhere, where the background color is white, in all input field.

    Is this very complicated ?

    Thanks

11. Hiya
    Great theme!! Thanks!
    I cannot get the blog title and description to turn off though as I want to have an image only as the header with the title in a specific font.. Any ideas why??
    Also I want to increase the font size a bit and change the font colour as its not very clear..
    Where in the css can I do that??
    Thanks in advance..
    Mat

    • In the Admin > Appearance > Theme Options, General > Hide Titles, and save options.

      In the style.css add the color changes, do not edit existing so you can roll back if you need to, if you wanted #F1F1F1 and the fron from 10px to 11px then,

      body,
      input,
      textarea {
      color: #F1F1F1;
      font-size: 11px;
      }

      Search for color: and font-size: to find the other places, there are quite a few so be aware that it is a narrow theme!

      David

12. Great theme! However, I cannot find where to remove the delicious, RSS, technorati, stumble & digg icons. I’ve searched all php files in the Editor. Can you help point me to the right place? Thanks so much in advance!

    • All these are on the Theme Options page, go to Admin > Appearance > Theme Options

      In the general section ‘Hide Side Icons’, ‘Hide Footer Icons’, there is also a social media section.

13. Great looking theme…is there a way to reduce the height of the Header image? Every time i try to replace it it crops to the larger size….Ideally i don’t want the whole header as tall, it seems to take up half the screen :O(

    Martin

    • Lets say you wanted 250px you would, open style.css and at the bottom add

      #wrapper-jpg,
      #branding {
      height: 250px;
      }

      Do not change the existing values.

      David

      • So, that code i just applied to the bottom of style.css did change the header to 250px tall, which is perfect, but the image is still cropped and skewed. Is there a way to bypass using the Manage Theme Custom Header upload, which wants to automatically crop the image to 724 × 314 pixels?

14. Hi Matt,
    I’ve been hacking your lovely theme to get a 960 theme and it works very well, apart from in Internet Explorer 7 (or compatibility mode in IE8). It is something to do with the spacing of the top header before the main image, as with compatibility view on (IE7 mode), this disappears, whereas with it off (IE8 mode) it works fine. The same effect happens on your demonstration site. Any brilliant ideas – I have scoured through comparing your style sheet to the original twentyten stylesheet, but so far no luck…
    Mark

    • sorry .. David..

15. OK , solved it- it is the way in which you use wrapper-jpg outside the #branding div. If you revert back to the standard 2010 construct and use the standard method of image CSS (resized as needed), deleting the wrapper-jpg constructs in header/Theme options and Stylesheet and re-insert the standard #branding, it works in IE7, IE8, Safari and Google Chrome. I know it is a pain for IE7, but it makes it more standard. There might be another way – it is actually the interaction with the new pagemenu that is the painful bit, but this worked for me.

    • Glad you have it sorted, the #wrapper-jpg was so the title could sit over the image, in twenty ten the title sits above the image.

      What is a 960 theme is that just the width?

      If you want send a link and I will add your version to the directory page.

      Regards

16. Hi There
    I am trying to reduce the height of the Header want to keep the width but change the initial height of it…
    Please help…

    • Read through the comments this was asked and anwered two days ago!

17. Hello, tell me please how br/ size can be reduced? because this is kinda too big
    http://i057.radikal.ru/1101/c1/8bb5e937a422.jpg

18. Hello! Love the theme… I wish you had a wider one with that image. Love the image but I’d like to extend it to be closer to 1024 so somewhere under 1000 width with a sidebar of 250. Lots of widgets just don’t well with the 155 and I don’t want to cut into the blog post real estate. Maybe adding 100 to each, so 914. I played with the css and didn’t seem to figure out what controls that, i changed it never seemed to extend the width, even if the header is still 714 (for the moment).

    Thanks for a beautiful simple theme with great options.

19. Really like this theme! Is there a way I can make the text size bigger for the page names (under the header)? I’d like to bring more attention to the pages. Thanks.

20. Place at the bottom of your CSS:

    .searchbox {
    color: #000000;
    }

21. Digital Raindrops,
    Was able to extend the access to 900px(width) (menu underneath header image) and the entire page to 900px, however I am having difficulty extending the header image beyond the 724x 314. I have entered the following code below and now the header jpg pic extends to 714px (width) then repeats partial image to 900px(width). Where do I change or add code to get my header jpg to extend to a width of 900px?
    #wrapper-jpg,
    #branding {
    width: 900px;
    }

    • In functions.php

      define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, apply_filters( ‘atmosphere_header_image_width’, 724 ) );
      define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, apply_filters( ‘atmosphere_header_image_height’, 314 ) );

      Regards

      David

      • I recently made this change to my theme but it hasn’t changed the header image size at all. What have I done wrong?

        Everything else I changed has worked fine, basically just changed all the 724 references in styles to 900. I’d like to change the header image to 900×390 in order to scale it up correctly but this function isn’t doing anything, I still see the image being partially repeated.

        • Nevermind. I fixed this. It appears I had failed to change the height style.css as well as the branding div size.

          Anyone wishing to change these should just do ctrl+f “314″

23. Thanks for the reply David
    However this did not change the width of the header image. Everything else is at 900px, but the header image. In wordpress loading header restricts image to 724 x 314, is there a way round this? The image is to 900px, but it is 724px plus another 176px of the image. See image at phantomreport.com
    Thanks -Doug
    define( ‘HEADER_TEXTCOLOR’, ” );
    define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE’, ‘%s/images/header.jpg’ );
    define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, apply_filters( ‘atmosphere_header_image_width’, 900 ) );
    define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, apply_filters( ‘atmosphere_header_image_height’, 314 ) );

24. Hey David Disregard last message, that was the fix!

25. Have made custom edits to the style sheet. Every edit has been successful. Just need pointed in the right direction. Where in the code can I change the background and text color for the post comment button? I was able to change the background color and text input for the *name *email* *website*comment, but can not locate the code for the post comment button. Thanks Doug

    • Hi, can you please tell me how to change the black background colour and text if you managed to figure it out? I have been trying to get info on this for weeks, Thanks

26. I ove this theme, just wondering if I can change the black background colour to a light colour and the text body to black, Is the css editable and where do I log in to change it? I know to go to editor but then there is several options under Style sheets, dont know which one to go in and edit? Thanks, Gavin

27. Dear Digital Raindrops,
    I’m having trouble getting the WYSIWYG rich text editor to actually display what I need it to. I need some text to be bold and larger, am I limited to what is within the text format drop down menu? When I highlight the text I would like to bolden and enlarge and click Header 1 or Header 2, it changes all of the text in the body to that format. It also automatically double spaces when I click enter, when I need it to be single spaced. I’ve looked around every corner of the internet for the answer, but can’t seem to find anything that addresses this issue. Please get back to me! Thank you! ~Spencer

28. I absolutely love the theme. I’m very new to blogs yet have an excellent mentor assisting me through various set up challenges. Is it possible to add the “exerpts” feature to this theme? If so, I would appreciate your walking me through it.

    Thank You. Frank (redfords45@hotmail.com)

    • I will be busy for March and April with the plugin, so I will not have time at the moment

      David

29. I´ve a nice blogg installed in swedish. But the posts still have “posted on” and “by” in english. Anyone who knows how to change it?

30. Hi, does anyone know how to disallow comments on pages? I cant any option where it ususlly is in most themes

    • I’m also interested in this. I love this theme, but I only need comments on my front page

      • Never mind, found it. In either Page Template or One column, no sidebar Page Template, I removed the line:

        Hoping this doesn’t screw up anything else, but so far, so good.

      • Bah.
        ?php comments_template( ”, true ); ?

        (But with the brackets.)

31. Thanks for the nice theme! Is there a way that I can add the Soundcloud icon to your social icon images? My son, whose site it is, is a DJ that has his own tracks on Soundcloud. (I am going to try uploading it to the folder you have them in and hope it shows up!)
    Thank you for building that feature into the theme- so sweet!!!

33. I’ve just installed atmosphere, and can’t seem to find a widget that allows readers to subscribe. Where is it? Tks!

34. does anyone know how to edit the css, I can edit it in firebug but when it comes to really doing it nothing changes

35. I really like this theme. It works really well for my site. One question I have is about changing how images are displayed. Currently, if I include a description with an image embedded into a post, the image and description get a white frame that makes it look like a Polaroid. Where can I change that? Can I also include links in that image description?

36. Can anyone point out to me how to set the color for text in the comments form?

37. What a solution is this man! I am totally impressed when I read your tips history.

38.  I love this theme. I use it on both websites I am currently managing. My question is about parented pages and the main menu. What do I need to change in order for only parent pages to appear in the main menu?

    Thanks,
    Jim

    • Use a custom menu, Admin > Appearance > Menus
      Create a menu add in any items you want, drag them to indent and save.

      Then you will see theme locations assign the new menu

      David

      • BINGO! Perfect. Thanks again.

39. Hi – I’m sure this is a simple question but I’m trying to change what’s posted the main content area of the home page. Right now, it shows all the recent posts in full length. I’d like to be able to limit this to just the title and excerpt of the last 3 or 4 posts. Can this be done using the included options in the template? Thank you.

40. Hi

    I installed your theme (it’s amazing btw), and I am attempting to stretch the margin and picture so it fits the screen.  I’m new to code,  but I’ve dabbled in the  code section and have only manage to change the location of the content, like the words inside the page.  I was wondering if you could possibly tell me the location in the code to make the template fit the screen.  Thanks!

41. Hey dude you have
    shared effective thought about wordpress theme! In my view current version is
    more than effective to create new theme. I wanna follow you tips what you have
    shared about current version. Thanks

42. Hi and love this them and as a newbie to all this html stuff, it just looses me. My only problem is that when my site is viewed in Mozilla its fine, but when viewed in IE, things go wrong. The main header jpg becomes to wide and all my wdgets from the sidebar now appear down the bottom of the sidebar. Could you please explain to me what I have to do to fix this.
    Thanks again.
    My site is  http://www.peterbphotography.net.
     

    • Hi Peter,
      It will be bad html tags in the content or sidebar widgets, this is the case in 99% of the cases.

      Go to: http://validator.w3.org/ and type in your website url.

      Look in the results for where it says OMMITTAG the elements must be closed properly />, I cannot post an example here as it will strip the closing tags!

      There is a checkbox show source check this and revalidate, then you will have hyperlinks to the error lines.

      HTH

      David

      • I have checked the url and cannot see this problem with Internet Explorer?
