Even for making some more excitements and network, see above what Pearson tweeted mentioning someone’s tweet, probably a Thesis fan. Everyone is excited to see whats going to be released on October 1.
As mentioned by Chris Pearson, the Thesis 2 WordPress Theme is already developed, and they are giving it final touch, so there will not be any betas of the theme. And while this was going on yesterday, Chris unveiled another post on DIY Themes about the upcoming Thesis 2.0, and I am sure its going to be a big hit.
I remember when he released Thesis WordPress Theme, he ensured the standard premium theme quality mentioning Thesis Theme, and now he says he reinvented the wordpress themes, it seems Thesis 2 is going to be a sensation in the world of WordPress Themes.
He said in his post, recoded the whole engine, means you will get best SEO features.

What’s New in Thesis Theme 2.0 ?
Not one, not two, a lot of new features we are going to see in Thesis 2.0, not every feature is unveiled yet, I believe. Though on the Official Version 2 Teaser, there are some of the features exposed which I am going to list here.
Drag and Drop Functionality
Yes just like what we have in Headway Themes, Thesis will be running on Drag and Drop Functionality, announces Pearson in one of his tweets. He haven’t revealed what exactly the feature will be, but it has something to do with the new Thesis Boxes.
(he's seen it) RT @afrais Thesis 2 basically makes n00bs highly competent designers, and experienced designer absolute rockstars. #thesiswp

It could be like, creating custom boxes anywhere in the theme and drag and drop the boxes anywhere, and using hooks, these boxes will be displayed on the desired positions. Chris promises its hell easy to manage and customize Thesis 2.0 Theme, so it is definitely User Interface of Hooks which everyone can use for sure.
I don’t know what he meany by saying “experienced designer absolute rockstars“.
Thesis Theme Skins Editor
All new is Thesis Skins Editor, which will now work for beginners and novices too, apart from Developers. Previously, Thesis WordPress Theme used Custom Functions and Custom Style-sheets, in the form of custom.css and custom_functions.php, but Thesis 2.0 will be having a whole different thing.
Thesis Skins Editor is all new way to Manage Custom Hooks and Filters, all that visually from your Dashboard I believe.
Ultimately, it would be easy for Users to customize the Design.
You can see in the above screenshot, its the whole map of wrapped elements from the Container to the WordPress Posts Loop. So, you can customize each and everything right from this panel, select the element you want to Change or Customize, and then alter its Design options. This is made really easy, great idea.
All About Thesis Packages
This is again useful option for users, deploying all your CSS Customization from scratch, without writing code.
Thesis Packages is all about customizing and deploying the CSS Style-sheet for your blog effectively and efficiently using User Interface on your Dashboard. No more custom.css this time, control all your style-sheets from Dashboard, edit them and create new styles.
Whats better than this, if you can write your CSS without actually writing it, using Thesis Packages.
