New features and improvements
Theme settings support
Layouts 2.1, along with Views 2.5, provides support for theme options that can be controlled from Content Templates and WordPress Archives. This means you can control theme options per-template you create, so different content types can feature different options.
You can find the Theme Options section at the bottom of the Layouts editor, when editing layouts used for templates and archives.
For this first release, Views supports the following themes:
These settings are kept when you switch themes. If you change your mind and return back to a theme that defined options for a Content Template or a WordPress Archive, all your existing settings will be restored and applied.
