Thank you for the kind words, Jo!

The colors in Avid are mostly hard-set, and you’d need to use CSS to change them around. We’re happy to provide small CSS snippets to change things here and there.

The reason the background is not changeable is because the theme’s color scheme can get extremely washed out with any color except dark grey. We chose not to support custom background colors for this reason, but you’re always able to use CSS to change colors around if you so desire. We’ve seen one or two use cases where someone has successfully changed the color – but it doesn’t usually work :).

Hey Arvind,

The sharing options for Avid are showcased at the bottom of the demo site – Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Flickr and Pinterest.

As for the FB comment box – I’m assuming you’re referring to a plugin. We don’t have explicit support for a FB comment box, but it should look however the plugin styles it. Let me know if I’m misunderstanding!

Wow! What an awesome theme! Love the timeline and the “ribbons” denoting the type of post. Can the colour scheme of Avid be changed without coding? For example, can the dark colour of the background and captions be easily changed to a light colour? I’ve tried the “tester” version but can’t access settings to test what Avid can do. :)

Congratulations on such a fantastic theme! :)

Regards,

Hey Clare,

Thanks for the kind words! We’ve got the code finished up for password-protected galleries, and I’m hoping to push an update by the end of this week.

I am in love, I run two Photography theme websites and am really keen to move over to this to merge the two. However the password protected galleries is essential for my business so would have to wait til the updates. I’m sure many people will be the same. When do you think the update will be so i can check back?

Glad to hear you like Avid Missy :-)

Individual descriptions / captions are something we are considering adding to the theme. Avid will support password protected galleries with the next update. And yes, updates are included with your purchase. You won’t have to buy the theme again to get the latest versions. If you have other questions to hesitate to send us an email — info at thethemefoundry.com.

First off, I think Avid is gorgeous. I’ve never bought a theme before but this one has its hooks in me and I think it would be perfect for the start-up freelance graphic design website I want to form. However, I do have some concerns–partly about the lack of individual descriptions that Johalm mentioned. Does Avid offer the password protected gallery that Photography offers? I am aware that any blog post or page can be password protected but I’m not too sure about the gallery feature. Now my big question is: if I bought this theme now, would I get any updated versions for free or would I have to buy the theme all over again to get the latest versions?
