Two weeks ago, on 27 September 2012, Joomla 3.0 was released. It's the next major version of the Joomla CMS and comes with some great features we are really excited about. Finally Joomla ships with jQuery included, now that's pure awesomeness! We've been following the development closely and in the last couple of weeks worked on the integration of our themes and extensions.

Today we are glad to announce that Warp 6, Widgetkit and ZOO are Joomla 3.0 ready! Thanks to our Warp framework this means our 19 latest themes are immediately available for Joomla 3.0. The same goes for our popular Joomla extensions: Widgetkit 1.3 and ZOO 3.0! The Warp UI fits nicely in the Joomla administration. The release of Joomla 3.0 has also officially ended the Joomla 1.5 support. So we've dropped support for Joomla 1.5 in the latest Widgetkit 1.3 and ZOO 3.0 accordingly.

Everyone who wants to try out our Joomla 3.0 themes today, just grab a copy of Joomla 3.0 and head over to our Warp themes, Widgetkit or ZOO downloads. Enjoy!

With the release of the responsive Warp 6.2 version back in June we have taken a major step forward in the development of our popular theme framework. As the community of developers and designers who use Warp for their own custom templates keeps growing and growing, we are now proud to present you a new and comprehensive tutorial Getting started with Warp in German language!

Now we are very proud to present you Nano2, our first completely responsive theme! It takes full advantage of the brand new Warp 6.2 theme framework, that we have been working on for the last months. Warp 6.2 comes with a completely responsive design which adapts perfectly for all device resolutions.

Nano2 is the successor of our very popular Nano theme. Like its predecessor Nano2 is an optimized and streamlined framework theme and serves as a blueprint to build your own custom themes. We revamped all of the existing Nano styles and made them responsive. They look fresher now and adapt perfectly for different screen sizes. In addition we added 3 new styles to cover all kinds of different layouts. These styles are a great starting point for you to design your own customizations, modifications and enhancements.

• Fully responsive layout
• Available for Wordpress and Joomla 2.5
• 8 style variations available
• Choose from 5 colors and 8 fonts
• 1 module style combinable with 4 badges and 6 icons
• Flexible template and column widths
• All Warp framework features are available

As we started working on bringing the responsive design to our Warp 6 theme framework we quickly realized that it is not only the CSS which does all the work. We also needed JavaScripts which would add even more functionality in addition to the CSS media queries. Fortunately the JavaScript engines of modern browsers offer a function called window.matchMedia which can evaluate media queries so you are able to handle the result. And for all browsers which support media queries in CSS but lack of the window.matchMedia function we added a tiny polyfill to add this functionality.

It has been a little over a year since we released the Warp 6 theme framework. It was a major success for us and we have improved it constantly. That's why we are really excited to announce the next major framework release Warp 6.2 which comes with a completely responsive design which adapts perfectly for all device resolutions. We will do two blog posts where we'll take a closer look at how we implemented the responsive design in Warp. This part will focus on the responsive layout and its CSS. But first of all the good news: It was really easy to make the Warp framework responsive. Thanks to our current CSS framework, which already provided a fluid grid system.

Joomla 1.5 reached its offical end-of-life in April 2012. Most theme and extension developers already dropped Joomla 1.5 support and we also think it is time to say good bye. This is why we will stop developing templates for Joomla 1.5. The next June template will be the last template available for Joomla 1.5. The same goes for Widgetkit and ZOO.

Internet Explorer 7 was originally released in 2006 and does not support the latest web standards and technologies compared to modern browsers which offer a rich support for HTML5 and CSS3. Its market share fell under 3% worldwide this month and many companies like Google or Open Source CMS like Drupal dropped IE7 support for their upcoming releases. So we also decided to discontinue IE7 browser support for our themes and extensions from July 1st 2012 on.

This step allows us to focus on modern web technologies for our next major Warp framework release coming in July! We are very excited about it. More news coming soon!

Today we want to introduce the Warp Master theme, which is the basic theme powered by our Warp theme framework. This theme is for everyone who loves to create beautiful themes as much as we do. It is the same great framework we use for our own themes! This Master theme is optimized and streamlined to serve as a blueprint to build your very own custom theme. The best part is you get it for free!

The Warp theme framework 6.0 is out for a while now and we're really happy with it! But we also had some new ideas for additional features and improvements. Now we are proud to announce the next milestone our Warp 6.1 release. Let's have a closer look at it...

Today we are very proud to release our new Nano theme! It's entirely based on what we have been working on over the past 6 months: Our brand new Warp6 theme framework!

Nano is the first theme that's build with Warp6, our fast and slick theme framework! It takes full advantage of all the latest Warp6 features like semantic HTML5 markup, a mobile theme, a nice and clean administration UI and much more. You won't find any bloated code or features that will slow your site. It's created from a developers perspective - simplified, no magic, just a great toolset to develop cross-platform themes.

Nano is an optimized and streamlined framework theme and serves as a blueprint to build your own custom themes. It offers 5 different theme styles to get you started right away. Each style has a slightly different motif and inherits its structure and layout from a default base theme. Those styles themselves will function as a starting point for you to design your own customizations, modifications and enhancements. That's simply done through inheritance. It has never been easier to have smaller variations of your theme for presentation purposes.

• Available for Joomla 1.5, 1.6 and Wordpress
• 5 style variations available
• Choose from 5 colors and 8 fonts
• 1 module style combinable with 4 badges and 6 icons
• Flexible template and column widths
• All Warp framework features are available

Today we want to present some small but nice goodies of our Warp6 theme framework. We added additional layouts to customize several information pages. You are now able to configure and style your own offline and error pages. Also you can activate a dedicated browser upgrade page which only gets displayed to visitors using Internet Explorer 6.

All these pages use the same clean layout and display a relevant headline with a short description text. Therefore we have added a separate error.css file which defines the general error page style. This also gives you the opportunity to create your very own style for system messages like error codes and an offline message.
