Theme Test Drive — WordPress Plugins

Theme Test Drive  WordPress Plugin  allows you to safely test drive any theme on your blog as administrator, while visitors still use the default one.

It happens completely transparent and they will not even notice you run a different theme for yourself.

Best part is you can even set the testing theme options (if it has them) in the Admin panel while you are testing the theme.

You can also preview any theme by adding “?theme=xxx” to your blog URL. For example http://www.myblog.com/?theme=Default

 

Raphael.js or Kinetic?

The biggest difference between RaphaelJS and KineticJS is that RaphaelJS uses SVG and KineticJS uses HTML5 Canvas for visualization.
So it really depends on what kind of project you are doing.

Here are some useful links which you should check out regarding SVG vs Canvas:

To summarize:

  • If you want to create some interactive charts I would go with RaphaelJS because it's easier to do that with SVG (KineticJS does provide some abstract API which should make it fairly easy to do that too).
  • If you want to visualize huge numbers of shapes/objects I would recommend to use KineticJS as canvas scales usually better with huge numbers of shapes/objects to be drawn and KineticJS uses multiple layers to improve rendering performance.
