We are very happy to announce that the Allure 2.0 theme is now available. For those of you who have already purchased the Allure theme package, you can download the latest copy in the Theme Download thread in the support forums. All others can purchase the Allure theme package here.
New Theme Options
We are also very happy to announce that a new options page has been built for the Allure theme which is more efficient and includes additional options.
Auto-Sized Thumbnails
Another awesome feature with this version of Allure is the ability to now display automatically generated thumbnails on the homepage. You can see that the sizes of your thumbnails can be configured on the options page.
Split/Full Width Header
A common request that we receive for this theme is to make the header full width – thankfully now, with the help of the theme options page, it’s simple. All you need to do is select “Use a full-width header” and then replace the header image with on of your own
Style Switcher
Previous, in order to use the Dark style of Allure, you had to load a completely separate theme – we have integrated the two color options, so that they are based off the same core code, just require you to select which style you want in the theme options page.
Support For Localization
Another awesome feature that is included with the Allure theme is support for localization. We have been asked numerous times if our themes can be localized, and we are going to make sure that all of them can be internationalized into different languages.
Here’s a screenshot of how the new Allure theme options looks:
About StudioPress
Fantastic! After I thought you couldn’t make your themes any better, you add all these new features to it. Great job Brian!
Brilliant Brian, can’t wait to get my hands on this one, I already have a client waiting in the wings for this
Cheers

Cool, it’s good to see this theme updated!
Nice work guys. I really like this update to what was already a good theme.
Nice update Brian.
Style Switcher is cool i like it. Have a nice sale.
Nice One.
Has it had “The Yoast” treatment ?
Thanks Rob, yes – it has the Yoast treatment.
Bring the color change (style.css in the options panel) to the News theme too. Plain white is looking dull at times.
The News theme has a style.css file and can be customized just like any of our themes…
Yeh I know,but this kinda Style switcher would be even cool with just one click.
I think, some changes should be made to the News theme. I love the theme but some where down the line I feel, it’s too dull. Any chances of a News 2.0 soon?
Beautiful as always, Brian. Particularly like the new theme options page. That will make things easier for new bloggers.
Cheers,
Ros
Thanks so much Rosalind – we do our best to make the user experience as good as it can be.
Nice work, Brian! Really appreciate your themes and the constant work you put into them!
Great theme, thanks for release!
Nice work. I really dig the style of the options panel. looks like it blends into the wordpress admin panel nicely. Does it allow for drag & drop of the boxes and/or show/hide toggle for them?
yes, it does
Thanks for the update. I really need to start testing more of your themes.
Again nice a new theme thank you for theme
