I have barely scratched the surface of what the new widget engine for but at least I have found a use for the TextBox.

When updating the Envision 1.0 theme the widget engine uses the entire right column and to keep the CSS simple I removed the disclaimer text. This text was inherited from the amendments made by Jesse Foster at GravityCube.net.

The question is if you want the text back you have 2 options (well maybe more)

1) The rather horrible option of editing site.master.
or
2) The new widget engine TextBox comes to the rescue.

Sign in as admin and select TextBox and click the Add button, you should have something as shown below :

I have updated the Envision 1.0 theme that comes with BlogEngine.NET 1.3 to work with BlogEngine.NET 1.4.5.0

To use it unzip into your BlogEngine.Net themes directory and select the theme from the settings dropdown list - /<blogengine>/themes

If you have problems with the theme then send me an email and I will try and help out.

Envision.1.0.zip (28.59 kb)

Tested with the following browsers : FireFox 3.0.1
Opera 9.52
Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13
Google Chrome 0.2.149.30 didn't do so well and I guess Apple Safari will display similar results.
