Red Light (Physics) Details:
Latest Version: 3.00
Updated on: 2011/08/01
This customization of the Red Light theme is created for a book author who writes about law of attraction. Personally, I really like the color and the ideas behind this custom theme. What do you think?
The following is an example of a custom design of the Red Light theme.

Automatic Thumbnails
Please refer to this page for the details of how the automatic thumbnails work.
Drop-down Menu
The Red Light theme has a multi-level drop-down menu. The drop-down menu will show up automatically in the header navigation when you create hierarchical pages.
This is another feature that will be added to all my future themes.
Plugin
There is a featured content section below the header link. This feature is built in using the Featured Content Gallery (FCG) plugin. Please download the latest version and follow the instruction found in “Readme.txt” to do the setup.
If you do not want to show this feature, just don’t install the plugin.
Blog Title and Description
The demo is showing a special font as below:
By default, after you install the theme, the blog title and description are showing the Arial font.
You can change the font style by following this instruction:
Part 1: Modifying Font Style
– Download this PSD zip file (also include the font that I use that is available free from fonts4free.net.)
– Extract and open the PSD file in the Photoshop/ImageReady/Gimp/PaintShop program
– Change the title and description using your desired font (you are free to modify the header image if you want)
– Save the image using this name: bg_header.jpg
– Upload the image to your server in the “/styles/physics/” folder
Part 2: Activating the Style
– Login to your WP admin
– Go to the options page of the Red Light theme under “Appearance -> Red Light”
– Find “Theme Style” under “Layout Setting”
– In the pull-down menu, select “physics.css”
– Save the setting and go to your site to see the changes.
Ad Widget
An ad widget can be found under the “Available Widgets” section. You can drag the widget to Sidebar 1. This widget allows you to add your advertisement while keeping the sidebar design. Please limit the width of your ad to 160px.
