Entropy WordPress Theme

Entropy Entropy, the November 2011 release, is a truly artistic piece, segregating its layout into distinctly designed panes, that are independently styled and configurable.

The separated nature of Entropy allows for a visually enticing appearance, as well as catering for a more conservative look, simply by unpublishing or moving widget positions. Standard Gantry features apply, such as the user friendly administrator interface, perfect for swift and extensive customization.

Installation


Downloading the Theme Files

To install the theme, you need two files:-

  • Entropy Theme (rt_entropy_wp.zip) - This file is the standalone theme package you will use to install your theme into WordPress.
  • Gantry Plugin (gantry_wordpress_framework.zip) - This file contains the Gantry Framework Plugin and it's required in order to have our themes working.

There are other files that you may wish to download that accompany the release, but are not required for the theme to work.

  • Entropy Source PNG(s) (rt_entropy_wp-sources.zip) - This contains all the Adobe Fireworks PNG source files for the theme, and if applicable, the logo font.
  • Entropy RocketLauncher (rt_entropy_wp-rocketlauncher.zip) - The RocketLauncher pack is a full WordPress install that contains all the demo content, including plugins and the theme.
Please note that the Gantry plugin needs to be installed first and activated (doesn't apply to RocketLauncher).

RocketLauncher includes a FULL WordPress install, in addition to the theme and demo contents. The WordPress installation process is necessary in creating the demo content, therefore RocketLauncher will only work properly as a new WordPress installation.
