The Dark Side
This is a modified version of the “Wp-NewsMag” theme over at http://www.wp-magazine.se/
When I did the redesign for Jerico Systems I was too busy to do a whole new theme myself so I looked at a few premium themes and didn’t really see anything I thought would suit my needs here. When I came across this theme I knew it was perfect for what I needed. As with me I always like darker colors so I immediately knew that I would have to make some Major changes to the theme when I downloaded it. I change all the colors of the theme and added a lot of transparency. I also made use of thumbnails for every post and changed the archives view to a gallery view with the thumbnails and a short description. The original theme you had to have your pictures in a certain directory to use the thumbnails but i changed it so you can add the entire url to use them. I removed the wordpress avatar tags and made use of the MyAvatars plugin because it offers a lot more freedom over the display. Because I changed this to use thumbnails for every post I made it so the smaller 90×90 images use the thumbs you make for the post so you don’t have to make 2 different thumbnails for every post. I also changed all the icons and images which was necessary to go with the new colors. I have also added an ad bar at the bottom which uses 16×16 favicons or images. The theme looks great in Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, and Opera 9.5.
