  • Framework
    • Further optimization of template customizations
    • Heavily reduced the amount of CSS normally loaded with all themes. Feature specific CSS is now loaded much more efficiently when features are being used, saving on page size and load times
  • Misc Improvements
    • Minor bug fixes
  • Node/forum list
    • Overhauled the included Node Grid and Node Background features with heavily improved markup (reduced HTML, CSS, etc)
    • New Node Grid handles much better on smaller devices, with less browser specific bugs such as breaking out of containers, text overflow, etc
    • The fixed (non-fluid) Node Grid is now much better supported, with consistent behavior and appearance across all browsers (previously, stretch/fluid width nodes was recommended)
    • The Node Grid now has additional Style Properties for controlling node minimum widths, max widths, etc
    • All themes now use accents to define sticky threads from normal threads (appearance differs by theme)
    • Fixed a bug which could cause nodes in the Node Grid to appear incorrectly when using sub-forums
  • Messages
    • Improvements have been made to the Rich Text Editor in most themes
  • Addon related
    • Further improved prevention of a bug that would cause media widgets to not display in certain conditions, this bug should be fully squashed
    • Updated compatibility with TH Nodes addon. While disabling TH Nodes or the included free Node Grid over the preferred choice is recommended, fallbacks remain in place in case both features are enabled at the same time. This however should be avoided.

Overview

This update further focuses on the forum & node list, by heavily improving the included Node Grid feature. The new grid system was rewritten with improved Flexbox HTML, and handles much better on various screen sizes and when compacted to smaller layouts. Additionally, the fluid & fixed width nodes option now handles equally well - as previously, the fluid option was recommended to prevent visual bugs in certain browsers.

While all existing themes will ship with the fluid-width Node Grid in place, the fixed-width layout will be the preferred mode in all new themes.

Additionally, updated compatibility with TH Nodes addon has been tested. In the case of using this addon, it is still recommended to disable the included Node Grid in Nulumia themes (or vice versa) as your preferred choice.

If you are an existing license holder, keep an eye on your notifications for when you can download your new theme update.

Overview

This is a major new release and brings DarkTabbed to full compatibility with XF 2.1 Official. Further, this update represents roughly 3-4 patches worth of changes which I have been prepping since XF 2.0.10.

Roughly 70-80% of my theme framework has been rewritten and tweaked, not only tightly integrating with XF2.1 but laying the foundation for more advanced updates and features.

Highlights

New Header Layouts

The new theme allows much greater flexibility over the header, including a new combined title & breadcrumb row below the navigation. This is a common feature on many Wordpress sites.

194135 194136 194137

You can also switch each section of the header to fixed vs stretch separately.
Style Properties -> [Nulumia] Header & navigation property group

New Compact Header
You can now change to a compact header layout, which combines the logo & navigation together. This can help save vertical space and create a more streamlined look!
Style Properties -> [Nulumia] Header & navigation property group

194138 194139

Full RTL Support
I have completely reworked my themes for extensive RTL support. Care was taken to make sure all custom features and sidebar settings are compatible.

194144

Hide Sub-Navigation Links
You can now hide the sub-nav links and add them back to the parent nav tab instead, such as found on most any platform other than Xenforo. This can be used to help mask the classic "Xenforo look".
Style Properties -> [Nulumia] Header & navigation property group

194136


New Social Icons System
There's now a much easier social icons feature -- select from up to 13 preset social media sites and the theme will display the icons for you, no more hunting for FontAwesome codes! Further, you can now select up to three different icon styles -- XF default, custom, and brand colors, which use matching colors for each social media site. Even more, you can specify different icon styling depending on location!
Style Properties -> [Nulumia] Social settings property group


194148



Tight XF2 Integration
All Nulumia features such as slide show, logo carousel etc, now use Xenforo's macro system for better efficiency and extensibility. This will help enhance features over further patches.

JS Bugfixes
Several important Jquery bugs, some related to conflicts with iframes and external snippets have been solved.

Set Sidebar Position by Page
You can now specify sidebar left/right depending on different pages!
Style Properties -> [Nulumia] Sidebar settings property group

New Hooks System
If you've ran a Wordpress site before, you may be familiar with hooks. Basically, there's locations within the template that allow you to insert custom code on the fly, without having to edit core templates. I will be adding documentation soon for using the new hooks system.

Page Node Customization Options
The latest framework includes a custom options set for customizing HTML/node pages on the fly, without having to create special page_container templates. You can now do things like hide/show the title, breadcrumb, sidebar & notices, set page background color or image, change padding, etc.

I will be adding documentation on this soon.

Custom Contact Us Page & Inline forms
Two cool new features, the theme now comes packaged with a starter custom Contact page which you can edit with your own HTML, rather than editing core templates. You can also choose between using inline-forms, with labels above text fields instead of the side-by-side XF2 form style.

194155

You can edit the new custom page at:
Templates -> nl_contact_page_wrapper

Addon Compatibility
As always, I am adding full style compatibility with as many new XF2.1 addons as possible and will be adding much more over coming updates.

XenPorta 2:
194153

Upcoming Page Builder framework
Just a sneak peak on this, but the theme does currently package a working version of my new CSS Page Builder framework, a Boostrap-like library to build awesome HTML home/portal pages. I will be covering this more, for now though here is a screenshot of it in use:

194156

** Important - PLEASE READ **
There is currently no new documentation yet covering new features since the last update. I am finishing documentation and will update as soon as it's available.

FAQ

Q: Still marked beta theme?
A:
While this is an official release since the XF2.1 beta theme, I'll be leaving this marked beta for a few days to watch for feedback.

Q: Should I overwrite the XF2.0 version of this theme?
A:
In most cases, yes. If you've made only small customizations within your child/active style, it should be safe to just overwrite. If you've made many or heavy customizations to your 2.0.x theme over time, you may want to consider importing as a fresh new theme and remaking your changes. This is only because some new Templates and Style Properties are handled a bit differently in XF2.1, meaning some of your customizations may be out of date and need reverting.
Please PM me if you need advice!

Q: Will you continue development of the 2.0.x theme?
A:
There is one more major release in development for XF2.0.x. Aside from bugfix or maintenance updates, further development will then only continue on XF2.1+.

Q: Where is the full changelog?
A:
As you can see I don't have a full changelog this time. This is because there's literally hundreds of changes which I'm still compiling and forming documentation and will be posted asap.

In the works:
  • Still working on UI overhaul
  • Further improvements to color palette usage
  • Page Builder framework
  • Sample HTML home/pages
  • Animated slide samples
  • CSS-Animate-It features
  • Finishing Echeon theme
October 20th, 2018 | Theme Version 1.1.4

This release updates DarkTabbed for several NulumiaBase framework versions, bringing new feature improvements and bugfixes. You can now set custom Font Awesome node icons, as well as show the Featured Widget slider on more page locations, such as the Resource Index or custom page types.

There are also numerous aesthetic improvements, additional options in the footer layout, and multi-line or custom HTML support for the slider captions, including optional CSS animation support (not yet included by default in all themes - more coming soon).

Features In Progress

I plan on integrated preset animated caption styles which the user can select, and will automatically apply to best fit the slides' caption content.
