Free themes announcement

I’ve released two brand new FREE WordPress themes in the last two days. The first is Base Dark, which is a light on dark variation of Base. The two themes are exactly the same, but I decided to make the light on dark version after a user request. So again, the theme focuses on doing all the basic WordPress features right, while having a few added features, like a options page for inserting a logo.

BASE DARK:  DemoDownload

And today, after being in development for a while, I finally released Scruffy. Scruffy is basically built on Base, so it has all the basic theme features, although it isn’t built on the 960.gs grid sytem. With this theme I focused more on the design, having built a pretty solid framework with Base. So this time around the theme has a more unique appereance and I think it will definitely stand out from the crowd. Take it for a spin with the online demo, and download it for free if you like.

    I was looking at scruffy on the Wordpress site and when I viewed the demo the “comments off” words were going right across the title. The theme isn’t cross browser compatible with the Flock browser. Other than that I really like the design, but I thought you might want to know this.

    Scruffy is beautiful, I love the attention to detail and all the extra classes.
    For some reason in my FF3.01 in the preview the circle that shows the comment for the latest post looks chopped on the left.

    @static brain: I’ve updated version 1.1 to display an ‘x’ when comments are off. And i agree with @paul, It looks fine in my Flock?…

    nice theme! one issue though… whenever comments are disable for a post/page, you still get the comments arrow in the left side… this should go away for posts/page where comments are disabled..

    @Mr Papa: Yup, I’m aware of that :) It annoys me too, will hopefully be releasing an update that solves that issue soon

    Thanks for your interest in the theme! :)

    another comment on scruffy… not sure how old of wp versions you are supporting, but imho, you should replace your gravatar stuff in comments.php with the builtin wp support and simply use

    get_avatar( $comment, 32 );

    instead…

    I fallen in love with BASE, so I modified colors that were too light then I letterally stolen a background somewhere that was perfect and now you can see the result at my place :D hope you like.

    fyi: the comments class needs a clear:both; without it I was getting the ‘No’ from the comments heading up on top of the ‘latest post’ image.

    This is a great theme – thanks for making it available.

    I noticed that the navdivider.jpg images appear to be mis-aligned when viewed in IE. Is there a fix for this?
