Well, at least that’s what we did last month. In the midst of snowy nothingness we put up our gear and got shoulder-deep in working on some pretty great stuff for you. So you may be wondering what we got up our sleeves this year? Here we go… Its been two years since we released the Warp 6 framework and we are happy to announce that Warp 7 is already in the making and scheduled to be released this summer.

Vertical menu enhanced
Up until now, all YOOtheme templates came with a horizontal dropdown menu. Showroom was the first theme to make use of a vertical navigation. This type of navigation has a completely different usability, but also brought new challenges for us. The main problem when activating a submenu is that the dropdown disappears, whenever you move your mouse directly into the dropdown by leaving the red area in the following example. Usually this issue is solved by adding a delay when activating the dropdown. We decided to use another approach. Inspired by the mega menu from Amazon we implemented the jQuery-menu-aim plugin by Ben Kamens in the latest version of the Pace and Showroom theme. Old vertical menu behavior How does the new vertical Menu work? By activating a submenu, the menu-aim plugins permanently applies a triangle between the current mouse position and the left corners of the dropdown menu. If your mouse stays within that red area, the dropdown remains activated. Once the cursor leaves the red area, another submenu will be activated immediately. This also works perfectly on RTL. New vertical menu behavior With this update the navigation is much more intuitive and easier to use, providing for a better user experience. Enjoy!

Widgetkit 1.4 Update
Widgetkit 1.4 comes with a bunch of bug fixes and one big change in our Twitter widget: We’r now supporting Twitter OAuth. What’s Twitter OAuth? In the past every developer was able to access the public Twitter API without authentication. But as Twitter announced , the API is going to change within the next couple of weeks. Due to the upcoming API change, every application will now need an OAuth key for each request. To meet the upcoming shutdown of the old API, we have already updated our Twitter widget. What does this mean for you? To deal with the new API, you now need to register your Twitter widget as an application in Twitter. Follow these steps to get an Twitter API Key and user access token: Go to https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new and log in with your regular Twitter account, if necessary. After submitting the form, you’ll see your consumer key and consumer secret. Click on “Your access token” to generate the access token that represents your own account’s relationship with the application. Copy the indicated values into your Twitter widget/module settings. We hope that this is a practical way to hit Twitters new restrictions. We are sorry for the difficulties due the new authentication process and stay tuned for your feedback.

Buildings Icon Set
Hey guys! I’m one of the newer people here at YOOtheme and still kind of learning, how things are done. It probably always looks like we just pop out new releases like that, but I was actually really impressed with how much effort and attention to detail is put into everything we do. So after three weeks, I just finished my first ever icon, hurraayy! We decided to make a set of buildings icons, as these would work really well for any e-commerce or business site. The first step is to gather some thoughts and ideas. What do we want to include? What is important to us for this particular icon set? Then we start by making first sketches. Everyone has their own approach to this. I myself always need paper and a pencil to capture my ideas. As we were several people working on this set, it was important to maintain a consistent style for all the icons. Then we would merge the best concepts into a final sketch as a blueprint for the vector illustration. And finally the vectorizing starts. From the beginning onwards, every pixel needs to be in place, always keeping in mind that the icons will eventually need to be scaled down to 8 different sizes and remain pixel perfect. So basically, it’s all about even numbers that can be divided into more even numbers. It kind of made me feel like a pixel architect. Also the colors are a crucial point and it takes some tweaking to get the look and feel we’re going for, while making the individual icon work for itself and within the set. Sometimes we realize that an icon just doesn’t work in a certain way, so we have to discard it and start all over again. Finally, when we are happy with the overall outcome, the scaling begins. This part – and there is no better term for it – means pushing pixels until everything is in place and looks perfect. That can take up to a couple of days. And here it is, tadaaa! We are proud to present our buildings icons set! It includes a factory, where not only products are made but ideas are shaped, a warehouse, filled with parcels waiting to be shipped all over the world and a cute store, where your customers can buy your items. So, have fun building these icons into your designs. We’ll start browsing for new ideas. Take a look at the new buildings icons and join the icon club! Sign Up Today
