Theme design (UX & UI)
Epsilon theme, from absolute start, has been designed primarily for mobile devices with huge effort to make User Experience as best as it is possible in Osclass. We've spent tens of hours studying customer behaviour and way how they work with classifieds, what features they miss, what must be redesigned and what should stay as it is.
In order to support UX, we've created brand new features connected to user preferred location, advanced radius search to find close listings, recent ads features, saving most recent locations and patterns used into cookies to make using of classifieds or marketplace website easier.
Worth to mention is, that theme has been created completely from scratch, not using parts of any other theme. What was needed was selected and added later. This procedure was selected to reduce size of stylesheets and scripts, remove legacy code, files and image.
Dark mode support
Epsilon as first theme for Osclass comes with support of dark mode. Theme also allow to enter preferred dark mode color, if is different to "white" mode. Dark mode is supported only in case device is switched to dark mode. When device is not using dark mode, theme will not use dark mode as well. Dark mode can be disabled by customer in mobile menu, this preference is stored in cookies so customer does not need to disable dark mode each time.
Color scheme and tones in dark mode has been selected in order to save customer eyes in night, it is supported on mobile & desktop devices as well.
Non-uniform images / Force image aspect support
Theme as one of very few has full support for images with different dimensions (created when "Force image aspect" is enabled in media settings) using just CSS and no javascript libraries for that.
No matter what is dimension of picture, it will fit well into image gallery as well as to theme design, including grid, list or detail view.
Recommended image sizes for Epsilon theme are 320x320 for thumbnail images, 640x480 for preview images and 1280x960 for normal images.
Offer of the day functionality
Monetization is on first place, therefore Epsilon theme, besides other features, comes with brand-new monetization option to mark/select listings as "Offer of the day".
Admin can choose preferred listing, or simply let daily cron to pick listing (random from all premium items) that will be highlighted on home & search page with "Offer of the day" label.
Note: Theme works on Osclass 3.3+, but we strongly recommend to run theme on Osclass 8.0.2+ in order to use all theme features and functions
