The background color of the right-side theme element Page Options is now configurable via Custom Color 1 in Space Color Scheme (from Errata for 0.1.16)
The foreground color of the user navigation elements overlaid over logo is now configurable via Custom Color 2 in Space Color Scheme (from Errata for 0.1.16)
With only one blogpost the link to "Main" page is displayed properly in the single blogpost view (from Errata for 0.1.16)
The reason for sporadic complaints about lack of privileges to include the About and Featured Articles pages has been removed (from Errata for 0.1.16)
Activity page in space view now has the toolbar (from Errata for 0.1.16)
Dependency on two user macros has been removed, feel free to delete macros trimp and popularspacelabels (discovered during installation of 0.1.16)
Alignment of the right-side theme elements has been improved
About and Featured Articles right-side elements now have the minimum height specified, rather then set height, this allows them to stretch if the content doesn't fit
About and Featured Articles pages are included as excerpts when displayed on the right-side pane (if exceprts are marked in the content), this allows them to contain more content than shown in the pane, possibly accessible via a link
When About and/or Featured Articles pages do not exist a standard text is displayed.
