I am proud to announce my very first free Genesis child theme. Releasing a WordPress theme to the public has been something that I’ve wanted to do for a very long time and I’m glad I’ve finally taken this step.
The theme incorporates transparent elements and is a child theme for the Genesis Framework, hence the name ‘Transchild.’ My attempt at a clever name. 😉
Check out the Transchild theme and I look forward to reading your feedback in the comments below.
Hi
I have had a peak at the child themes in StudioPress and for me Transchild is the one I am going to choose to replace the sample Genesis child Theme. I will upload it tonight and let you know how I get on.
wow..I like the transchild theme. Thanks for releasing your free Genesis theme.
Hi Josh,
Love the theme. I have recently installed it and was wondering if there is a way to make the background for the posts somewhat transparent. I have also emailed you just so you know.
Thanks a lot!
Brendan
Brendan, You could remove the background image from the #content div. This would make the content area and sidebar the same color.
Glad you like the theme!
Josh, thanks so much for designing this child theme and releasing it to the public! I’ve just made the move to Genesis today and I’m excited to give Transchild a try. It looks great.
Thanks Andrew! I really appreciate the kind words. 🙂
Thanks for offering this theme – I love it! I’m wondering – is there a way to show post navigation links at the bottom of single posts/pages? I’m pawing through the editor but couldn’t find exactly where to add those tags. Thanks for any help!
Erin, glad you love the theme!
In regard to your question, you might take a look at the Genesis support forum. I’m sure you will find the solution there. 😉
Hey Josh awesome job with the free theme. Thanks so much its awesome!
Quick question if you don’t mind – what is the name of the font you use for the header title in the Transchild demo?
I’m talking about the “transchild” written across the top left portion of the homepage. I’d love to use that style font for my new blog.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Ryan
Thanks for the kind words, Ryan. I’m really glad you enjoy the theme.
The font you are referring to is called Ballpark Weiner.
Cheers!
thanks a bunch!
hi josh,
is there a way to easily change the background image without modifying files?
thanks.

You should be able to change the background image from the Custom Background panel in the WordPress admin.
the theme background image overrides it.
Uploading a different background image will work. Only selecting a color will not work at this point. I’ll fix this in the next theme update.
Good looking theme Josh.
Particularly like the 3 widget footer.
Found you via the Studiopress blog – good to meet another Genesis supporter.
Hi, Keith! Thanks for the kind words. Genesis is a great framework.
Hi Josh
Only found it recently but the Studiopress guys seem to be working hard to make Genesis the #1 theme framework.
I bought the Pro Plus package to use on clients websites – glad I did.
Cheers Josh

I am trying to download the theme and the link I think – is not working.
I am trying to either left click and right click as well.
On ctrl-click It only downloads a firefox page, and left click simply, as a loop brings me back to this page.
Would love to take your theme for a spin.
Please check the link to the zip file on a few machines and let me know if I am a total retard!

Nevermind. I am a retard. I was getting an error messages but the zip files were in fact being saved. Sorry for the hassle – and THANK YOU for your creative efforts!
