My newest theme has been finished!
Well, finished enough to release a download anyway!
JustCSS is a child theme so you need to install ToolBox first. You can do this right from the themes menu or downloading it from here. You dont have to activate it, just have it installed, the child theme will use its files automagically.
JustCSS includes the toolbox files as part of the theme, so no need to install toolbox theme beforehand.
Now download JustCSS and activate it like any other theme! That it!
Here is the download: JustCSS
This theme has been downloaded [thcount name=justcss] times from the themes directory.
I have been cleaning up a few things in your CSS style.css. I have a question why do you not have HTML5 tags set to display:block;
header, footer, section, aside, nav, article {
display:block;
}
Its my first venture with html5, didn’t realize IE needed it. Ive started to recode the theme including all the toolbox files in the package so it can be submitted to wordpress. Ive included a html5 reset css. I’ll post an update when its ready 🙂
Testing a new version of this theme, Ive included the ToolBox so the theme is self contained. i will be adding a small options page to tweak the colours and a couple of other small options.
Colours added, working on other options now 🙂

Hello Pross,
I tried to install the justCSS theme on my site but I get this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: register_nav_menus() in /homepages/26/d172457784/htdocs/wp-content/themes/justcss/functions/toolbox.php on line 26
Any idea what this means a how I can fix it? Could be my WP install which has been a bit buggy lately. I say this ‘cus it seems to work fine on the Englshh version – quoi9.net/english
Anyway, if you’ve any idea what the problem is it would be appreciated – Like the thmem a lot, Thanks

register_nav_menus() was introduced in version 3.0 sounds like you have an out of date installation.
Yes, it’s 2.9 so that’s no doubt it – thanks
You should update 😉
Thanks for this great theme. Will try it later.
Pross, forgive me for being an amateur, but how can I remove the { } ‘s in the masthead? Thank you, sir! And fine work!
look for these lines in justcss.css:
#site-title a:before{content:'{'}
#site-title a:after{content:'}'}
This is now an option in the latest version (0.6)
I’m trying to change the font colors to go better with my custom background but I’m having troubel figuring out where to do this – eg. I want to change the color the header from black to a shade of blue.
look for
#site-title ain css/justcss.cssThank you. I appreciate it.
I love how you can make the background seamless with this theme but I have to admit I’m struggling with figuring out how to modify things like heading colors and fonts.
Experiment with firebug then use my template-overide plugin to keep the chamges.
I’ve been playing with firebug but I’m not sure what you mean by your template-override plugin?
here you go 😉
Thank you! And most of all thank you for your patience.
(And of course now WordPress is refusing to see the uploaded plug-in. I am having A DAY.)
Try using the built in plugin installer..
That worked. Thanks again!
Excellent, dont forget to show off your site so we can all see what you have done!
Clean, Simple and Fast loading WordPress Theme. Cool.

Hi There!
A newbie here. Is there a way to resize the pics on my home page? They’re just too large!
Thank you.
Ray
See if this fixes it.
remove the line highlighted in red 😉
I loved this simple JustCSS theme..I have downloaded but there is an error when uploading it to my website..will this support the wordpress new version?
Yes it does, this site is running ‘bleeding edge’
How do I put Categories on the side bar, just like Archives and Meta? This way, people can sort by category. Thanks.
Add a categories widget.
How? Sorry, I am new to this.
In you admin panel, look under appearance, click widgets then add the categories widget to the sidebar.
I see you have edited the theme files! ( i followed your link ) this is bad, oyu edits will be lost when you update the theme down the road!
If you want your logo, just rename it logo.jpg and put it into a folder called img in the theme dir, ie wp-content/justcss/img/logo.jpg it will be used automatically by the theme.
Hi, Simon Prosser.
I have a newbie question: If i want to change some styles, should i redefine them in style.css (admin -> Appereance -> Themes -> Editor -> style.css)? It seems the file isn’t included in any of the generated html: I can only see html5reset-css and justcss-css.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Daniel.
Daniel,
Thanks for pointing out this bug!
I have patched the theme on my git repo, here is a link to the change, just add the line highlighted in green.

Hi, Simon.
I’ll try later. Thanks.
Just to be sure: Is JustCSS released under which License? GPL? LGPL?
Best regards,
Daniel.
Hi, Simon.
It still doesn’t work for me because TEMPLATEPATH == STYLESHEETPATH. I don’t know anything about WP. Why TEMPLATEPATH should be different of STYLESHEETPATH?
Thanks.
Best regards.
Its GPL v2
You need to create a child theme 😉 Then your custom css will be picked up!
Hi, Simon. How do i create a child theme? I was changing the files using the editor feature in admin app (admin -> Appereance -> Themes -> Editor -> style.css).
Thanks.
Best regards,
Daniel.
There are plenty of tutorials on child themes 😉
Heres one I wrote years ago! The info is still the same 🙂

Hi, Simon.
Any idea why does the layout seem weird here (http://techdm.com/grails/?p=87&lang=en) when using Firefox 4? The other pages seem ok, so i’m suspecting of SyntaxHighlighter, but i’m not sure.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Daniel.
I am having the exact same problem. Would love to fix this!
I think it has to do with the html5 and Firefox compatibility hacks described in the ~/wp-content/themes/justcss/css/ folder.
I haven’t been able to tweak or repair it in any significant way. Very frustrating, would love any tips.
Just make your width slightly bigger. Like 1025 not 1024 in the control panel.

I’ve tried 1025, but i didn’t solve the problem 🙁
Thanks.
it didn’t solve the problem

I am having an issue where the selected picture is being displayed twice on the tag and archive pages. If you could take a look I’d be greatly appreciative.
Example of problem: http://www.beerguyla.com/tag/barleywine/
I am trying to add a custom header(1024px x 170px). I created a folder named ‘img’ inside of my child themes folder and named the header image ‘logo.jpg’ and put it in this folder. The Site Title disappears but the logo.jpg image does not show. The Tagline still shows.

Same problem as tony here.
If someone could give us a solution it would be awesome.
https://gist.github.com/Pross/5109438
Yeah that did the trick for me. Thanks!!
An option to center the logo would also be awesome or something, but that is just a suggestion.
