Blind-style Nav Transition

I’ve been playing around with new animations for fullscreen navigation menus and thought I’d share. The Pen below is a sort of window blind/disappearing curtain swipe transition.

My font rec this week is actually two fonts! Waffle Soft and Waffle Slab by MADE Type (couldn’t find a designer website, only links for waffles the food) are a great combination and free for personal use.

New Theme: Space Race

Preview / Install

So I was in the middle of a futuristic sci-fi theme but I kept running across great flat space illustrations and couldn’t get that design style out of my head. Space Race is the result.

This theme is responsive and should work on at least the last two versions of all modern browsers (IE10 isn’t pixel perfect but it works). It also includes optional animated celestial objects like comets, meteors, satellites that are pure CSS and were partly inspired by my attempt to do the Daily CSS Images Challenge (work interfered with that pretty early on).

Fonts and colors are totally customizable and you can choose between a single or double column layout.

This theme supports:

  • All post types
  • Links to major social networks
  • Reblog and like buttons
  • Related Posts
  • Likes
  • Following
  • Group Blogs
  • Notes
  • Recent Tweets
  • Disqus
  • Google Analytics

And possibly other features that I’m forgetting. If you have any questions about getting the theme set up, let me know.

I missed a couple weeks but here’s a fantastic Sci-Fi style font (and an awesome font poster) by Kristian Koh. Hello Earth is free for personal use and commercial licensing is available at Creative Fabrica for just $6.
