Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the release… (we) have been waiting since September 2008 for it.

I won’t even ask for a date no more 😉

Max: “Cosmo” as a separate product has been nixed; rather than release a separate theme, it has been decided to add all of the planned “Cosmo” features into the Thesis theme, creating one super-powerful theme framework. These features will be introduced in Thesis 1.4 which is development at the moment. Based on what I’ve seen and heard from Chris, I’d say we’re rapidly approaching the release date, but nothing *certain* has been publicized.

Thanks for your interest and patience. 😀

Hi Chris,

Any news on a realistic Cosmo release date? The last I heard was just before the year-end… Or has the project been cancelled altogether?

Cheers,
Max

Hi Chris,

I meant January, rather than December, but thank you for the update and I will look into the plugin you’ve mention. Are you going anywhere nice in Europe?

Hey Chris…

Before you take off, any chance we can get a “fix” beforehand? I’m thinking of upgrading a thesis site to 2.7 beta 3 – The official release will prob’ly be out before 12/16…

Well that’s good news then….I knew that would get us a peep out of you…so how’s it going?

Really looking forward to 1.4…

Darren — Although 1.4 is in development now, I'll be vacationing in Europe from Dec. 2–16. As a result, the new version of theme won't see the light of day until after I return, but in the meantime, I highly recommend checking out the new Thesis OpenHook plugin. Rick Beckman (KingdomGeek on the forums) has put together a remarkably easy and efficient plugin that allows you to use hooks without writing a single line of code. Essentially, the plugin reduces the hooking process to nothing more than copy and paste, so it's just another tool you can use to lower the barrier to remarkable customization.

Tim — WordPress 2.7 loads up CSS styles for admin panels a little differently than prior versions of WordPress. The required "fix" will take only a few minutes to implement, so ultimately, no, you're not really right :D

I have a feeling the upcoming wordpress 2.7 release will delay Thesis 1.4 even more….I read on a blog that Thesis’ option pages are not compatible w/ WP2.7…. Those option pages are the heart of the current and new thesis….

Am I right, Chris?

I cannot wait for Cosmo [Thesis 1.4] and wondered if you have a ‘rough’ idea when it might be available. I am working on a new site which would fit in a magazine Thesis style brilliantly, and want to launch it in December.
