Hello,
What I lover in this design (apart of its obvious elenage) is the "home" link.
For integrated WP/PP it would be cool if kakumei had the option of a home link -> to the WP install
I know it's easy to add by hand, but I dont like tweaking themes (and files) because this makes updates always touchy.Luc

lstelie, it's not a theme for release, it's going to be for here on bbpress.org
Though I am certain someone will clone it in short time like the did with wordpress.org -

It looks good, but are those avatars supposed to be gravatars, becuase Im certain gravatars are only 80x80... which means bbpress.org will be using plugins?
-

You can stretch out gavatars if you want. Most scale pretty well.
-

Max size for Gravatars is 512px by 512px

I'll release anything interesting that comes out of the work, but so far it's pretty standard stuff.

I dig the new look, a much needed re-design! Glad to see a bit of honey in the new design, adds a little fun, without giving me a toothache ;)
The two column layout is a big improvement too, helps organize the content better and keeps it at out fingertips.
Can I infer from the "Themes" link that bbPress will have an official theme directory soon?

It's on the drawing board yes. Can't say when that part will get there.

It's good to hear that bbPress themes will get their own home eventually. No hurry though, I don't have any themes ready to share yet!

Looks great, Sam! I like the avatar size... would be nice to add Gravatar size options in the admin panel (hint). :)

In a previous thread, I was advised to change the size in template-functions.php:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-gravatar-sizeNeedless to say, not the solution I wanted but it worked.

Looks great! I quite like the gravatar size, the current ones are way too small IMO. I don't understand why the bees are everywhere though.
-

I think the bees were the idea of the new icon designer,
I guess they picked up on bbPress as "bee-bee" Press. LOL -
- Posted 1 year ago #
The bees came about because every icon idea we tried to literally represent those sections' "posts", "forums" and "topics" were too similar to other existing icons in the menu or too ambiguous or just plain dull.
In the end we threw around some ideas which would simply be memorable and maybe have some semblance of a hierarchy to them. The hierarchy thing didn't really work out 100% in the end, but the icons are certainly memorable, plus it gives me a few graphic motifs to use in bbPress collateral.

Like this.

Wow! The future bbPress looks incredible. Fantastic work Sam!
Is there a planned target date set for it?

Love it. Similar but different. I also love the icons, as it is "bee bee Press" after all. Plus, if we're going to over think this, Bee's and hives represent a colony, and forums are basically the same thing; a colony of users.
Or, maybe you guys just love sweet, sweet honey... Just a bunch of Pooh Bear's surrounded by empty glass jars hoping Matt will send another shipment this month to keep you motivated. :)
