<p>Evolution is a simple, classic design, but with a twist; it is our first fully responsive design. What makes the theme so special is its ability to adapt to various screen sizes on the fly without using any special browser detection and without having to re-load the page. The theme has four distinct layouts, each of which are triggered at specific window sizes. When viewed on a mobile phone or tablet, the design will degrade elegantly, and will even change when the device is flipped between portrait and landscape orientation. To view the changes in action, just try reducing the width of your browsers window when previewing the theme.</p>
<p><a style="display: bock; margin-left: 140px; float: left; margin-top: 20px; font-size: 20px; background-color: #9fcb97; border: 1px solid #94be8d; padding: 10px 20px; color: #fff; -moz-text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #63855d; -webkit-text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #63855d; text-decoration: none; -moz-border-radius: 40px; -webkit-border-radius: 40px;" href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/Evolution">Live Demo</a><a style="display: bock; margin-left: 20px; float: left; margin-top: 20px; font-size: 20px; background-color: #9fcb97; border: 1px solid #94be8d; padding: 10px 20px; color: #fff; -moz-text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #63855d; -webkit-text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #63855d; text-decoration: none; -moz-border-radius: 40px; -webkit-border-radius: 40px;" href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/evolution/">Features Info</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/evolution/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2142" style="margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 15px;" title="thumb-1" src="http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/evolution.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Evolution Features</h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>1. Four Unique Colorschemes</strong></span> &#8211; Evolution comes with four different colors to choose from, including White, Blue, Green and Red. You can switch between these different colors at any time from within the ePanel theme options page.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/evolution/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2142" style="margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 15px;" title="thumb-1" src="http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumb-1.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>2. Four Distinct Design Variations</strong></span> &#8211; Evolution come with four different layouts, each of which are served to your users based on their screen size. Each layout has been tailored to improve the usability of your website when viewed on smaller screens.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/evolution/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2142" style="margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 15px;" title="thumb-1" src="http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumb-3.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>3. Improved Experience For Mobile Visitors</strong></span> &#8211; When using Evolution, there is no need to use third party mobile plugins or alternate mobile themes. Evolution will display beautifully on smaller screens due to its responsive nature. It will even change when the phone or tablet is flipped between portrait and landscape mode through the use of CSS3 media queries.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/evolution/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2142" style="margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 15px;" title="thumb-1" src="http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumb-2.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>I hope that everyone enjoys the new theme! Be sure to leave a comment and let us know what you think <img src='http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sky floats above the pack in style and its sense of whimsy is sure to leave your visitors surprised and refreshed. Sky is unique in the way its homepage operates, loading all of your content seamlessly using ajax. This means that no matter how many pages you have in the &#8220;slider,&#8221; your initial page load speed will be lightning fast as each page is only loaded when it is displayed (without a page refresh). We also added some fun parallax affects in the clouds, giving the design a great sense of movement.</p>
<p><a style="display: bock; margin-left: 140px; float: left; margin-top: 20px; font-size: 20px; background-color: #9fcb97; border: 1px solid #94be8d; padding: 10px 20px; color: #fff; -moz-text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #63855d; -webkit-text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #63855d; text-decoration: none; -moz-border-radius: 40px; -webkit-border-radius: 40px;" href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/Sky">Live Demo</a><a style="display: bock; margin-left: 20px; float: left; margin-top: 20px; font-size: 20px; background-color: #9fcb97; border: 1px solid #94be8d; padding: 10px 20px; color: #fff; -moz-text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #63855d; -webkit-text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #63855d; text-decoration: none; -moz-border-radius: 40px; -webkit-border-radius: 40px;" href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/sky">Features Info</a></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>2. Portfolio Section</strong></span> &#8211; The Portfolio section makes it easy to feature photos.

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>3.

You can populate the slider using posts or pages and adjust animations/animation speeds within ePanel.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/sky"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2087" style="margin-bottom: 30px;" title="s-4" src="http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/s-3.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>

<p>Our newest theme, Aggregate, has been released. The goal of this &#8220;Magazine-Style&#8221; theme was to display a good deal of content at once without loosing clarity and hierarchy, something commonly seen on news sites. We also added some handy new widgets, as well as many new advertisement areas. Finally, you will also see that our color control panel (previously released with Chameleon) has been integrated into Aggregate as well, making customizing your theme quick and easy. If you have been searching for a feature-rich Magazine-style theme for your blog, then look no further!

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>2. Infinite Color Combinations</strong></span> &#8211; While the theme comes with five color schemes to start with, you can customize the theme&#8217;s colors even further from within ePanel. Our new Color Control panel gives you an easy way to visualize your changes, and ePanel gives you an easy way to make these changes come to life.</p>
