Royale Theme

If you’re using Royale and feel like saying so or you want to give the URL to your Royale-powered blog, feel free to leave a comment here!

You can also use this thread to suggest new features and report annoyances. However, this is NOT a support thread, so please don’t post requests for help here.

While the default layout in Royale shows only two columns, it is possible to turn a second sidebar on from the Theme Options page, and the two sidebars can be aligned to either side of the screen, independently.

Royale supports up to four widgets bars: one in each sidebar, one at the top and one at the bottom. The top/bottom bars are most useful to display some kind of static content (using text widgets), or recent posts/comments for example.

If you’re still not using widgets (you should!), you can find more information about them here: http://automattic.com/code/widgets/

The Theme Options page offers an option to customize the color of links on your blog.

You can also choose to have colors cycle automatically: this means that the color of links will change smoothly as your visitors read your blog.

Note that the color-cycling feature does not work in Opera, Safari or Konqueror since these browsers do not allow for stylesheets manipulation through the document object model.

Royale takes advantage of WordPress’s compatibility with the gettext framework, hence making it fully localizable.
