I keep thinking there is nothing left to do...then I think of something. So here's the latest developments:

New colouful themes!

I've adapted fourteen of the free themes produced by the Bootswatch project for use with Tuskfish. These include a good selection of colours and typography. Most include a number of colour options for navbars, and night/day options. They are highly customisable and can be recompiled with sass to make global changes (see their 'help' page for details, but I will produce a simpler tutorial in due course).

I also replaced the default admin theme with the Bootswatch Flatly theme.

New default theme preference!

There is a new site preference to set the default theme, so you can change the look and feel sitewide. You can override this programmatically by calling setTheme() as per usual. 

Changes to handling of static content

The 'static' content type has been deprecated in favour of a switch to mark content as 'In Feed' (default) or not.

• You can now mark any type of content as static (not in feed), so now you can have static videos, collections, maps, soundtracks and so on in addition to articles. Static content does not appear on your home page content stream or RSS feeds, but is still available in search results and via direct link.
• Tags are the sole exception: They are always static, and the 'in feed' switch simply controls whether they appear in the tag select box or not. This allows you to differentiate tags into those you want to use as primary navigation options, and other uses.

I want to test it all for a while, but anyway, that's what's new. I'm particularly happy with the themes, which will be suitable for many applications out of the box.
