Shortcode Usage:

 * `[ bns_theme_details ]` – this is the default (less the spaces) which will display
   the current active theme on the site (provided it is hosted on the WordPress 
   repository).

Shortcode parameters (and their defaults):

 * `title => __return_null()` … returns nothing
 * `theme_slug => wp_get_theme()->get_template()` … uses the current theme; the 
   theme name can also be used in place of its slug provided they are similar
 * `use_screenshot_link => true` … displays main screenshot
 * `show_name => true` … displays the theme name
 * `show_author => true` … displays the author name
 * `show_last_updated => true` … displays when the theme was last updated
 * `show_current_version => true` … displays the current theme version
 * `show_rating => true` … displays the current “star” rating of the theme
 * `show_number_of_ratings => true` … displays the number of ratings the theme has
   received
 * `show_description => true` … displays theme description (this is false by default
   in the widget section)
 * `show_downloaded_count => true` … displays the total download count
 * `use_download_link => true` … displays a download link pointing to the current
   version of the theme in the WordPress Theme repository
 * `show_changelog => true` … displays the contents of the theme’s `changelog.txt`
   file if it exists
