Highly customizable design: From the admin dashboard design interface you can customize almost all the elements on the front end (such as background colors, font sizes or colors).
Content Customizations: You choose the number of posts to be published on the front page. You can also control if you want the header menu displayed or not. Plus you can switch on and off the various add spaces available.
Custom Menus: There are two menus (one of them can be turned on or off) that can be fully controlled via the WordPress menu interface.
Custom Background: You can easily custom the background feature developed by WordPress. You can select the background color or upload an image and tile it.

Install
1. Download and extract the zip file.
2. Upload the theme file to your server at “/wp-content/themes/” folder.
3. Activate the theme. (Admin Panel -> Presentation -> Themes)
After Install
- See the videos located here: http://www.youtube.com/binarspace#p/u . They are helpful to make yourself an idea about what this theme can do.
- To “enable” front page thumbs you need to create a custom field called “Image” for each post that reaches the front site. As value for this custom field you can place the image path. The thumb script will do the rest.
- Make sure that the theme can create thumbs. If the thumb creation is not working you need to give 777 rights on the folder cache located in zeo/scripts/
- Upload images and set the Carousel.
- The theme comes with a predefined design. Play with the colors, sizes and other features until you get the look you want.
