Overview

Released on June 30th, 2008

In March of 2005 William Pramana released Golden Grey as part of Alex King's Wordpress 1.5 theme competition. Many Wordpress fans used Golden Grey at the time and made their own modifications to suit their needs but no major update was made to Pramana's original theme until now.

The most noticable feature missing from the original Golden Grey when compared to today's themes for Wordpress 2.5 is support for sidebar widgets. New Golden Gray reintroduces the original theme with support for widgets and a few other minor improvements. See the Changelog for more information.

New Golden Gray 1.8.3 is compatible with versions of Wordpress up to 2.6. Visit the New Golden Gray web page for the latest information.
