Unless I am missing something very vital, so far I have been unimpressed with Thesis. With some tweaks I was able to fix the fact that I needed to horizontally scroll in this default layout, and not sure I’ll stay with the fixed width provided either. Although there was a rotating image box in the default layout (since removed), otherwise all the graphics you see here are all the graphics provided. I’m not sure exactly what was being sold here for this price, apart from a layout I could’ve pretty easily coded myself or grabbed from an existing CSS framework.
The sidebars you see at right were, as well, the only thing provided in this layout, and I’ll need to manually add category listings and other widgets later, along with actually developing the entire colour scheme and logo.
Unfortunately I need to go to bed since I’m getting up with two toddlers first thing in the a.m., so I have to leave the theme like this. At least it’s working without the horizontal scroll now, although obviously it’s bland as hell.
I’m wondering what others have seen in this theme that they found worthy of raving about.
