Chapter 7. Theme Options

—Allan Cole

When you start distributing your theme, within a week of release it’s likely you’ll receive an email like this: “Hi, I absolutely love your theme! The attention to detail and color is simply astonishing. I have one question though: how do I change X?” Initially, you might be a little annoyed. You’ll be tempted to ask yourself: if this user thinks my theme is so great, why do they want to change it? The answer is simple—individuality.
