The newest beta version of Headway 1.7 has been released to the lucky ones holding a developers license, and geeks, web designers and WordPress newbies around the world are clapping their hands with glee and squealing with joy like kids at Christmas.
This next version is the bomb, guys.
New Features include:
- Quick Start Wizard, which prompts you to choose how many columns (COLUMNS! YES!), upload an image, and even reads your image to suggest a color palette to get started.
- Exporting leaf templates, creating your own Styles and managing/editing styles from the Visual Editor
- Overhaul of the Content Leaf for more stability
- Ability to “center” leafs
- Easily manage global padding and margins on leafs
- Search bar integrated into navigation automatically
- RSS link in header if you want it there
- “Top” and “Bottom” leaf areas
… and more. I can’t list all the options.
The Headway team is also working on a complete overhaul of the documentation; it’s traditionally been a weak point with this theme, but that’s all going to change. Myself, the developer and a couple of other power users will be writing up documentation, tutorials, recording videos and more in time for the official public launch of the stable version. See my post over at Headway Beginner to leave your recommendations, questions or comments about the newest version!
