Theme Options Panels, What are some good examples from Frameworks or Premium Themes? [closed]

by

I really like https://github.com/devinsays/options-framework-plugin

Does anyone know any other good implementations of an options panel from a Framework or from another premium Theme? I think its a major factor in deciding whether to use a theme. I’d like to get a good list of whats being done out there. WordPress StackExchange Community, what are your thoughts in general this?

Of the few I’ve seen, I think that most “premium” Themes way over-complicate Theme Settings pages. I generally prefer Theme Settings pages that maintain the style/layout of the rest of the WP-Admin UI. So, these would be my rules of thumb:

  1. Incorporate meaningful settings, and not necessarily every possible setting under the sun.
  2. Organize settings logically.
  3. Maintain consistent layout/style with the rest of the WP-Admin UI, including Settings fields, sections, and page tabs. Note: use of the Settings API makes this dead-simple.
