The mobile version is just too appealing, the posts will now stack vertically and it feels like using a mobile app. You will have the basic options to change header logo and title in Live customizer panel.

Princess – Lite

A beautiful theme with full width featured image and a cute gallery page which you can add easily. There is unfortunately no slider as the homepage shows only a featured image assigned to the page set as homepage. The whole theme is responsive and is most suited for photographers with blog posts along with a option panel for all basic needs. WooCommerce support is not official but the theme works with it and the only problem i think i saw is container width for products is full page which you must manually change. The theme is impressive even if it is a lite version of this pro theme.

Fullscreen

A graphicpress release for photographers letting them showcase a fullscreen gallery of blog posts. Changing the website colors and font is possible through theme options. The website lets you add a slider category in theme options which when set will act as default category displayed on homepage. The maximum no of posts to be displayed by scrolling horizontally is limited to ten which can be set in theme options. The demo for this theme is useless and doesn’t showcase the slider features. To get that glorious look with top header with large images and the rest with smaller ones you might need atleast 30 posts assigned to a single category.

Every post which must be displayed on the homepage must be assigned to one category to make the website setup complete, as the slider category which has been set will be the only category displayed on the website homepage. The theme is a bit old and lack responsive design but i think this is a decent one. If you are a bit of a designer then you can add custom css with media queries easily. Please do comment and share if you have done the media queries by yourself as it will be a great help as this theme is a bit unique to be free.
