After using the Vertigo theme for the last 7 months I’ve decided that it’s time to freshen things up a little bit around here. My biggest problem with my previous theme was the poor page navigation. I have too many pages, and listing them all on the right-hand sidebar was getting a bit unwieldy. This time, I have settled on a theme called Fresh News. It condenses the navigation into drop-down menus along the top of the page, which leaves the right-hand sidebar much cleaner.
The new theme is the first step to creating consistency across all of my applications. I have also picked up a fantastic icon set called Icon Experience: V-Collections which will be used in all future application releases. I will slowly be re-releasing all of my applications with numerous bug fixes, new icons and fully signed executables for full Windows Vista support. This is not a small undertaking, but I am hoping to release 1 application per week.
As always, if you find any problems, or if you have any suggestions please contact me. I welcome any feedback you might have.

Looks awesome, man. I’ve never been to that themes site, either…I’ll have to read a little bit more about them when I get home tonight. Good icon choices too. Can’t wait to see ‘em in the apps!

Swap out that old favicon for the shiny shield and I think you\’re onto a winner here. Well done.
More polished, more professional, less confusing.
