Tarski is a WordPress theme. It’s intended to be usable out of the box, by people who just want to get on with writing and don’t have time to learn web development first. Coming with a choice of tasteful header artwork, Tarski has numerous options accessible via a simple, easy-to-use options page.
For the more technically-minded, Tarski provides a flexible basis for any number of alterations, from simple things like changing the header, to more complex structural changes. ionfish is actually running a modified version of Tarski, so as you can see, fairly drastic alterations are far from difficult.
Take a look at the documentation for detailed installation and setup instructions, as well as plugins Tarski plays nice with.

Yum.
Nutritious and delicious.

Is there a way to center the theme in the browser window?
-
Yeah, just go into style.css and change the margin for
#wrapperfrom0 auto 0 0to0 auto. Change thetext-alignproperty for thebodytocenter, so it’ll work in older browsers too.We plan to make stuff like this easier in future releases.

Nice theme. Recommended functionality would be support for gravatars/favatars and asides. Again, very nice theme… clean and simple…
-
Glad you like it, Logan. I’m already drawing up a long list of stuff for 1.1…
-
Love the theme. Clean, Neat, Nice and simple…. Thanks for the same.

ionfish, I am trying to add the animated livesearch feature by Steve Smith to Tarski but am having trouble. It appears to be working but I believe there is something in the Tarski theme files that I need to edit. I can’t seem to find this file or to properly diagnose the problem, any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated.
-
Logan, yes, you’ll need to edit the Tarski theme files to integrate that live search. You’ll also want to make sure to get the Prototype and Scriptaculous libraries.
Contact me by e-mail if you still can’t get it working and I’ll take a look.

How do I un-install this theme?
Does this theme make database entries?
-
Yes, the theme makes a couple database entries for configuration settings. We haven’t written an uninstall script… seeing as there’s probably a total of a couple kilobytes of extra data in your database
If you’re really anal about disk space, though, you can run the following SQL query against your database:
DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE 'tarski_%';That should delete all of Tarski’s saved options.
As for uninstalling the theme itself, just switch to a different theme and delete the directory.
-
HI. I HATE YOUR THEME; HOW DO I KILL IT?
CAN I USE FIRE?
Nice theme, guys. Wonder how many people will use my header? ;P
-
Hehe. I wonder how many will realize there’re another two headers. ;-)
-
Oh thanks ceejayoz. Unfortunately, I backed-up before I updated Tarski. I’ll recompile it and see if I can’t get it to work this time, if not I’ll definintely e-mail you. Thanks.
