Any chance you will release few more free themes for XF 1.5 and 2.0?

Probably not anymore 1.5 styles free or paid. I'm still taking on custom work for the clients who still need to run it though.

2.0 free styles will come eventually, however, I'm awful at releasing paid ones and those need to come first. I have 2 styles that are really close to launching, I'm hoping to get those out soon.

I'm awful at marketing, what can I say

A modified version of Zipped is already included for free under our Flat Awesome + style:



Additionally, with the next release, I'm including Adara for free under Flat Awesome +


Core also has a modified version of Modest included


These are all child styles, so you essentially install the parent style then install these as child styles and just edit them.

I decided not to port over the entire 1.x portfolio as official styles as I really want to focus on new products.

I've had some ideas run through my head... open it up a bit, less is more sometimes when it comes to details!

XF 2.1.0, right?

Any thoughts on TAZ's style when we move to XF2?

IMHO TAZ could use a complete style revamp. The current style was great as a follow up to the vbulletin style. It made the transition smooth. But the resemblance to the old style implied holds things back.
But now I don't think there is a need to be restrained by the old style. It could be something fresh that appeals to the contemporary target audience.
