Vector Art
Latest Version: 2.00
Updated on: 2010/06/03
Vector images store the lines, shapes and colours as mathematical formulae. Thus, the images give sharper and higher resolution output as compared to the raster images that are based on pixels.
The Vector Art theme, comprising heavy use of vector graphics, is sure to give a fabulous artistic look to your blogs/sites!

I love this theme .. I just don’t like what you have in the footer for advertisement. So I cannot use it. I don’t like ambulance chasing lawyers and I will not advertise for them in a blog.
It would be awesome to just have your information there. a link to templatelite and go from there. Just a suggestion. I really love this theme, but now I am sad and have to find one that does NOT adverstise anything other than yourself.
thanks.

@Kimberly, I understand your concern but I need those links to sponsor my future theme development. However, if you really want to remove the ads, I do provide an option to purchase the ad-free version at $20.
may i change your ads link into my own website link after i pay $20
@adie, when you purchase the ad-free package of the theme, there’ll be NO ad present in the theme and you are free to add any links you want.
Hello.
What is the exact purpose of the PHP encoding eval(base64_decode($m)? What pages are being injected with it?
Is it going to slow down my website? Is only footer.php affected by it or is there something else as well?
What guarantee have I that the code behind the encryption in not malicious and why would someone do something like this unless they would have something to hide?
I am grateful for this beautiful free theme, but why corrupt it like this?
I am looking forward for some explanations.
Thank you in advance.
