  1. Hi,

    .. I really don’t get the point of calling this theme responsive? Front page makes use of a Masonry kinda jQuery plugin (no.1 – no fluid grid) and when I pick a project, those pages aren’t fluid at all (no.2 – no fluid images/text/media).

    But what is the biggest problem with this theme, it bloody doesn’t use media queries (no.3 – media-queries) in CSS? It has only a max-width: 480px in the meta viewport!

    Responsive Web Design is only defined by 3 points, and this site doesn’t have one single point of responsiveness! Nowadays, everything is being called responsive because of the buzzy sound of it, but in fact this is the most crappy theme I’ve ever seen, and sure as hell isn’t responsive .. mobile friendly maybe?

    Sorry for my little rant, but I’m getting pissed by crappy designers and dev’s that call their website/theme responsive, when it’s far from being responsive!

  2. Great looking minimal theme!

    Anyone have idea how to edit its css? If I choose to edit themes style.css
    only code lines I get are following .. :-)
