stripShow Sandbox now has an Options page. Here it is:

The options page for the stripShow Sandbox template

Here, you can configure a few options for the stripShow Sandbox template, without having to edit your child theme’s files.  You can rename or remove the blog header, for example.

One thing that has changed significantly is that you can now configure your column layout from this page. Previously, every stripShow Sandbox child theme had to import a stylesheet like so:

@import url('../stripshow_sandbox/library/styles/columns/3c-b.css');

What this means, practically, is that if you have such a line in your child theme, you should remove it, and use the dropdown menu in stripShow Sandbox to select your column scheme. The line has already been removed, in 2.1, from the included child themes and from stripShow Sandbox itself.

I look forward to using this option in the future to include more layout possibilities.

New features in 2.1 include:

• COVER YOUR SHAME! If you happen to draw a comic that is sometimes just nasty, filthy, disgusting… well, we don’t judge. But sometimes people shouldn’t be browsing that sort of thing from work, and for the benefit of those readers, creators can now cover NSFW strips with a cover image that must be clicked on before the real comic is displayed.
• CUSTOMIZE YOUR THUMBNAILS! Now, if you’d rather thumbnail images were something a little more personalized than just a scaled-down version of the comic, you can stick alternate images in a subfolder of your comics folder and show those instead.
• SE HABLA FRANCAIS, MEIN FREUND! stripShow is now fully internationalized, and ready to be translated into all the languages of our big blue planet!

Obviously, all the great features that made stripShow the finest solution for WordPress webcomics, such as searchable, formatted transcripts, nested, low-maintenance storylines,  easy upload of comics, and an awesome theming template, are still present, and ready to propel your webcomic into the 2010s.
