It would be nice if your custom header image could be a home link, (at least the version implemented by WordPress.com doesn’t do this) but other than that, it’s a wonderful theme.

Very nice theme. I’ve inserted it in WordPressGala, my WP themes gallery site.

Hey thanks for the updates, this is truly the best free theme from a UI standpoint.

Just one thing, I put your domain(http://themes.jestro.com/vigilance/) in browsershots and it appears that in Internet Explorer 5.5, the right sidebar drops to the bottom of the page. I know very few users still use that browser but just thought I’d let you know.

Thanks again for this gorgeous, user friendly theme.

Thanks for the feedback!

The custom header image is a link in the WordPress.org version. We don’t have control over the WordPress.com version.

Thanks for the heads up Alex. We don’t have any plans for making the theme IE 5.5 compatible :)

Glad you are enjoying Vigilance!

Thanks Drew, another great update..

I must be thick or something, I’m still not quite wrapping my head around the “pro” stuff. :)

So, in the theme options, “Custom Logo Image” is a “PRO Feature”, but I’m not sure what’s stopping me from using it. I’m not using it, but like I said, I’m probably just being dense. Wouldn’t be the first time. :)

Lastly, the pro membership sign-up page refers to special members-only add-ons. Like what? I’d be more likely to cough up the cash (as I’m sure others would), if there was a comparison matrix that outlined some specifics… Or am I just overlooking it?

Hi Jason!

The “Custom Logo Image” is not enabled and “active” unless you have the PRO Child Theme installed. Right now the special members “add-ons” are the custom logo image and 2 extra page templates.

Good suggestion on the comparison matrix. I will take a look at implementing one.
