New Theme: Chameleon

Chameleons are known for their ability to change the color of their skin. The patterns and color combinations you find in chameleons are almost endless, and our new theme is no different! Chameleon was created to be a simple and professional theme with loads of customization options that do not require web development experience to utilize. The theme allows you to easily change fonts, font colors, background colors and pattern overlays. You can also choose between three different slider variations on the homepage. For a closer look, check our the Live Demo.

Chameleon Features

2. Unlimited Color Options – The color combinations in Chameleon are endless. You can define your color background colors which are then placed below a layer of semi-transparent textures. This gives you a large selection of background “images” that can customized without using a graphic design program. Chameleon also allows you to adjust the colors of your header/body text independently.

3. The Slider Variations – The homepage of Chameleon can use one of three slider variations. You can choose between a standard fading slider, the nivo slider, as well as the roundabout slider we created for the Modest theme.

4. Customization Control Panel – One of Chameleon’s unique features is an added customization control panel that allows you to visualize your theme’s font/color customizations before applying them. Enabling the control panel will cause a customization box to appear when browsing your site. You can use this box to change your theme’s fonts/colors on the fly. When you are satisfied, simply update ePanel with your desired changes and turn off the control panel.

5. Font Variations – Chameleon comes with tons of font variations thanks to the open source Google font collection. You can easily change between dozen of great fonts from within ePanel.

    WTF! Why couldn’t you have put that control panel on InReview? Is there any easy way to do that? Is that going to be an update at any point?

    This is seriously an incredible feature.

  2. Dr.Amith says:

    Such a great theme, i think grabbed it first, and updating that to my website. hope to customize it soon and enjoy the work.
    Cheers Nick.

  3. Heath says:

    this is amazing. please add to other themes.

  4. WOW! That is freakin SWEET! Seriously insane. Mind=blown.

  5. Nothing unusual, but it’s really clean and cute.

    • Janice says:

      I haven’t visited your site for awhile (computer had to be repaired) so when I saw this I was just absolutely thrilled. Just what I wanted!

      I definitely voted for ET. My ET subscription = money well spent!

  6. Chris says:

    Very nice Nick! 1 word – stunning!

  7. The Dan says:

    This theme is amazing. Overall, very happy with my subscription to ET, seems like you are getting quicker and quicker at building really nice WordPress themes. Keep it up!

  8. Mike says:

    Very nice!

    But…. The featured slider is really messed up in IE.

    I’m in IE 8… (I know, I know… IE sucks but there are still a lot of users out there)

    • Nick says:

      Sorry about that, we fixed the problem.

    • maitreya says:

      LOT OF USERS? not really man! not even in afrika! MSIE usage is 25% of population on whole world.. which is nothing.. ANYWAY YOU ARE OUT OF DATE! install IE 9 or beautiful FF4.. (if you running windows xp..) heh all of my websites block old versions of MSIE..only latest version is allowed with all other browsers.. MSIE ignore common web-standards.. so I ignore MSIE.. If its up to me I would support only MSIE versions 9 and 10 – which will come out very soon :) simple – STOP LIVING IN PAST!

      • 25% of the world population is nothing? Yeah blocking 1.7 Billion people from seeing your page is a great idea. By not blocking people you gain an extra 25% visitors (and sales if you are selling something).

        So if I spend $1,000 per day on PPC ads, and 25% get blocked, I waste $250/day (or $7,500/month). Now think if someone Amazon’s size did something that stupid.

    • IE8 will use approximately one in three people on Earth – so that it should be considered!

    • Mike says:

      Works great now Nick.. thanks.

      For you others that replied.. you should re-check your stats (for the U.S anyway) IE usage is still much higher than what you qoute:

  12. Tommy says:

    Awesome, great work!

  13. kraymer says:

    Yo… You guys are SICK! This Theme is absolutely amazing!

    If you get one complaint about this theme I would refund their money and revoke their membership.

    Haters are gonna hate, just keep doing your thing!

  14. kanon says:

    Hey Nick,

    Is it possible to feature a video in the slideshow for any of your themes?

    ~ kanon

  15. Vanderhellen says:

    Really really great theme!!

    Yesterday I thought about more functions in the themes and – boom – there it is. Cool.

    But: if in Safari stays another window behind the Chameleon theme window, it switches to the front if I click on something at the theme. Same behaviour with the ePanel in other themes.
    Strange.

  16. Jason says:

    I need a few basic tips:

    1) I uploaded my Favicon but it’s not appearing when I view the page.

    2) I can’t figure out if I should be using the Chameleon navigation panel or the regular WP panel. On the WP panel, I’m seeing all kinds of strange categories and pages.

    Thanks!

  17. This is really fantastic theme. unlimited color options is also awesome feature. will be selling it in my other theme site.

    Thanks :)

  18. WineGuppy says:

    Just in time. I was about to implement a Studiopress theme on one of my sites, but like this one better. Your themes are getting nicer. Thanks.

  19. Oopss! There is no word for telling…

    It is really fantastic creative work! :-)

  20. Pam says:

    Love, Love, Love it!!!! Can’t wait to use it!!! Thank you!!! :)

  21. Katie says:

    This is a gorgeous new theme! It’s like you read my mind – this combines the simplicity of my current them (Modest) with another one that’s been tempting me somewhat. Now I have to decide: stay with Modest or move over to this new one? So tempted!

  22. Aravind D says:

    The wonderful design with plethora of options makes it the most beautiful and versatile themes on ET. This theme along with Simple press are my favourite.

  23. Dennis says:

    It’s great Nick! Really…
    Your ePanel are beginning to have endless user options and possibilities. I’m still a fan of ET. Keep up the good work.

  24. Am I reading “dozens of fonts” in Theme features ???

    Wow, This is excellent feature.

  25. This is absolutely amazing! So impressed and glad that I’m a customer!!!

    Can’t wait to put this to use. :D

    (Heads up: the pricing table on the shortcode page in the demo is messed up. Looks like a width issue.)

  26. Theuns says:

    Very impressed with the “live skinning” functionality added!

    Well done Nick, keep up with the impressive improvements.

  27. Deep Titanic says:

    This is exactly the kind of thing im after … the customisation is amazing!!!

  28. You’ve done it again. Now that I’m totally happy with Modest for my site, now I want this one. Arg (in a good way). Brilliant work as always ET!

  29. Channing says:

    Wow.

  30. Channing says:

    It’s not for all themes you have created, but I would like to see this feature implemented for those themes that the feature would work well on. Great, awesome feature.

  31. Jesus Perez Lorenzo says:

    I have no words !!!

    Simply Great !!!

  32. June says:

    Breathtakingly lovely! You’re simply awesome, Nick! Buying subscription here has been one of the best purchase decisions I’ve ever made. :)

  33. SiGa says:

    Really, I´ve been waiting for a flexible, clean theme which can be customized easily without dealing with a whole lot of graphics PLUS having all the options of your epanel and shortcodes – and here it is! Amazing – I can´t understand anyone complaining around here, considering all the wonderful and different themes you provide here!

  34. Keith Davis says:

    Good looking theme as ever and so many variations.

    I would commemnt that the default font colour perhaps struggles to show clearly on the white background.
    Just a thought.

  35. Roberta Sa says:

    Great theme! Congratulations.

  36. Great work, clean and beautiful theme. I am going to use this theme on my corporate website.

    Thanks.

  37. very cool, congrats nick, awesome designs, good luck with sales ;)

  38. WebDesign says:

    This theme is awesome. Thank you. Can you please add this control panel as update to epanel for all themes ?

  39. Raymond says:

    This theme is cool. But it would be outstanding if it had the option to choose a three columned layout though. I’ve had enough of two-columned themes. Needs some flexibility for the layout.

  40. Moshe says:

    Nice theme and I really like the patterns overlay. I have a question and a recommendation. One, is it possible to make the site a little less narrow. I find it a bit too wide for my taste.

    Secondly, is it possible to add gradient backgrounds using CSS3? If not, I’d like to suggest that for the future. Colorzilla even has a gradient generator that perhaps you could tap into: http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/.

  41. Deep Titanic says:

    With this theme I manged to get a professional looking site up with a couple of hours …. That’s Amazing!

  42. Dominik says:

    Hey ho,
    nice theme!

    But i think there is a bug.

    If i’m on a category and want to switch trough the pages and click on maybe page 2, there is an error.

    http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/Chameleon/category/blog/page/2/

    Can you please fix it?

    Cheers,
    Dominik

    Wow……super Love it!!!!!

  45. Kenny Scott says:

    Mind = blown!

  46. Mahad says:

    very nice theme..!!

  47. Max Boehmer says:

    DANG !!! Very, Very nice job on this theme.

  48. Deep Titanic says:

    This theme is sooooooo versatile!

    I have a request ET and I apologise if it’s complex.

    What would be great would be a theme that lets you narrow your search by multiple categories.

    so say on the left sidebar you could pick:

    Size
    Colour
    Fabric

    and it would only pull the posts that have all three.

    I’ve not managed to find any themes that can do this, so perhaps its a nightmare to implement … I don’t know. But for websites that have lots of content this would be incredibly useful!

    Thanks for listening, you guys rock!

  49. Kamal says:

    Great move. My fav feature of Et so far. Would love to see it getting integrated to all themes. That would be awesome. Unlimited Xunlimited fun.

  50. Cj Belo says:

    Very neat & clean… Full featured functionality…

    Very awesome…

  51. Steven Smith says:

    Hey,

    How can I remove the “read more” blurb that pops on on the slider over the picture?…is this possible?

  52. WPSPY says:

    I have been waiting to signup ET for a long time. But this theme impressed me and will be signing up soon.

  53. mastermind says:

    Hello, how i can remove the “Customization Control Panel” ?

  54. Chris says:

    I signed up for this theme. It does not work properly in IE 9. Even the demo doesn’t work right in IE 9. Way too buggy between browsers.

  61. chof says:

I have it in cycle style, but one day all the featured images of my pages (that appears in the slider)appears another under image, and another image under..all followed, and could´nt see main page, only images of the slider one under other and again other. Sorry for my english, hope you understand me :)

  62. Deryk Wenaus says:

    great theme. we love it. However, how do you choose a body font that is not a ‘nice’ font. Mainly we want to keep page load speeds down. Can you add sans-serif and serif to the drop down menu.

  63. Chris Ludig says:

    This is a great theme, but I’m having an issue with the drop down menus. The drop down doesn’t closes once you roll off the button making it very difficult to navigate to one of the drop down menu choices. is there a fix for this?

  64. John Wolf says:

    Love the theme, but what do I have to do to make soft returns work on the site?

  65. Dee Dee says:

    Please, i do not know how to set up the ads, could you explain blow by blow. thanks

  66. Andre Cerri says:

    Hi, I´m a photographer and I would like to sell some pictures over Photoshelter. I would like to integrate a Chameleon theme to a Photoshelter account. Searched over the internet and found only Graphic Paper Press theme integration… can you help me? Can I integrate a Chameleon theme so people won´t notice a big change when navigation my website?

  67. ve may bay says:

    this is amazing. please add to other themes.

  68. Luke says:

    I want to know how you could change the number of posts on the multimedia bar, because the default is 10. It shows 7 in the first slide and then 3 more. I want to show about 45 video posts on it, any help?

    Thanks!

  69. Ran says:

    Hi,
    I’ve just installed this amazing theme, I went to the settings, and I saw that the slider is enabled, however, no matter what i do, the slider doesn’t displayed in the website.
    any suggestions?
    thanks!

    • Ran says:

      Ok I got it sorted out.
      nothing should be a homepage, it should remain “select”.

      Thanks anyway.

  70. Magda says:

    Hi,
    I’m using the Chameleon theme. Works great in Firefox, but the slider is a total mess in IE7 and Opera (version 11 something). Any suggestions?

  71. Ran says:

    Hi,
    Anyone knows how can I use 2 content areas for 1 page? or perhaps only 2 content areas?
    I want a page’s article to be more large on the front page.. that’s why I’m asking.

  72. Vector Huklu says:

    All of you people are losers! Get a life you morons!
