Theme Thursday
Two days a week? What we will think of next? 
I came across this cool brown theme Solipsus and just couldn't wait for you guys to try it out. This theme comes courtesy of the talented Tiffany Nguyen (Rikkye) and I've updated it to support widgets as well. (Though the sidebar can look funny with some types of widgets.)
Update: Chalk it up to 2 AM silliness, but last night I forgot to "activate" the theme for you guys after deploying it. You shoudl be able to find it under your Presentation tab now. Sorry!

Matt, I don’t see the new Solipsus in the theme list. Is it up yet?
May 25th, 2006 at 9:54 am

May 25th, 2006 at 12:58 pm
Thanks once again.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:05 pm
I can’t find it either!!
May 25th, 2006 at 1:05 pm
Where is it??
May 25th, 2006 at 1:07 pm
Ditto. I don’t see it. Maybe I should empty my cache?
May 25th, 2006 at 1:09 pm
i DID empty my cache and still don’t see it
May 25th, 2006 at 1:14 pm
Ditto. I can’t see it.
May 25th, 2006 at 1:36 pm
Err…Couldn’t find any Solipsus theme in the ‘Presentation’ section!:|
May 25th, 2006 at 1:41 pm
Dude really happy for you to give us another theme but where is it
May 25th, 2006 at 1:41 pm
some kinda of joke?????????????
May 25th, 2006 at 2:43 pm
yeah i can’t see it too
May 25th, 2006 at 2:51 pm
This theme must be available only in certain data centers? I’ll bet it’s hitchhiking from San Diego to Dallas right now.
Check out the original theme author’s site to get a non-WordPress.com view of the theme.
May 25th, 2006 at 2:56 pm
Cool! I love Tiffany’s website, so it’s cool to see her getting recognition.
I think I might have suggested her themes, but I can remember because it was so long ago.
May 25th, 2006 at 3:10 pm
so many good themes but I hate to keep changing mine…keep up the good work though
May 25th, 2006 at 3:16 pm
But where is it?
May 25th, 2006 at 3:17 pm
5 themes for a week… You are just getting better and better…
May 25th, 2006 at 3:21 pm
it’s just a joke! hahhaha
where is it? thanks anyways
May 25th, 2006 at 3:23 pm
omg! it is actually awesome! take a look
http://demo.nuwen.com/
Can’t wait to use it.. hey guys.. put it up already
May 25th, 2006 at 3:41 pm
Wow, it does look pretty cool, but yeah I don’t find it in available themes either.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:49 pm
Funny, the URL you give, chaoticmind, differs depending on how you go there. I saw two different ones already. To make sure you get to see Solipsus, go through here: http://nuwen.com/media/wordpress-themes and select the right one.
Btw, is that placeholder text or a real language (no offence intended, just curious since I don’t recognize it)?
And now, go use it all of you, so that my Default 1.5 becomes even more exceptional ; – )
May 25th, 2006 at 4:50 pm
I really want the theme “Corporate Look”

May 25th, 2006 at 5:15 pm
WOW….two days in one week? We love you!
May 25th, 2006 at 5:23 pm
err…I don’t see it either….I look at presentation in dashboard…not there
May 25th, 2006 at 5:40 pm
Sorry guys, I made a boo-boo. Check it out now.
May 25th, 2006 at 6:12 pm
Whee! now its there! Thanks a ton againnn!
I am loving it!
May 25th, 2006 at 6:14 pm
Hmm, but for the header text (the back black mixes with the text colour, both are black
) it rocks =)
May 25th, 2006 at 6:58 pm
Another WP-theme thats nothing for me. The silly header image and rounded vs. straight corners kills it.
Apart from that, like most themes, its main column is too narrow, i.e., doesn’t allow pics of at least 450 pix width being displayed without being scaled down = messing up diagonal lines.
May 25th, 2006 at 9:10 pm
I’d like to see Finius added. Thanks for all the new themes!
May 25th, 2006 at 10:20 pm
nice!
May 25th, 2006 at 10:32 pm
I have to give this the biggest double thumbs down possible. Have you ever thought about accessibility? Other than White as Milk? Light mint on white, yeah, have fun people with having problems seein non-contrasting colors. Why not just put it green on green?
May 25th, 2006 at 11:15 pm
Hey there, fantastic work as usual.
I’d love it if you were able implement Tarski as it is a great looking skin and I think would also be great if users could choose an image/url of their own for the topbar. Just a thought!
Otherwise, keep on truckin!
May 25th, 2006 at 11:24 pm
one week later we will all be having withdrawal symptoms from theme overdose.
…
but we love it anyway! merci merci!!
May 26th, 2006 at 12:43 pm
Very nice templates there. Thanks for adding.
By the way, I can’t view the screen shot of Flower Power 1.0.
Is it only me who face this or you guys do too ?
May 26th, 2006 at 3:19 pm
Theme is great looking, but I agree with Blaze above… It would be nice if users could choose an image/url of their own for the topbar… sort of like blending the vision of the blogger with that of the theme artist… Like the Regulus theme for example! That one rocks!!!
May 26th, 2006 at 5:37 pm
Sexy!
May 26th, 2006 at 6:07 pm
Is there a reason that these new themes link to the wordpress tags instead of the inner blog tags when clicked on? Example: When you click on “personal” under my heading, it takes you to all “personal” tags for all wp users.
What gives?
May 26th, 2006 at 8:52 pm
Very nice indeed. Has gotten me away from Regulus, at least for a little while
May 26th, 2006 at 9:00 pm
China Red PLease Please Please Please…..I dont know how or I would download it for myself. Please Please
May 27th, 2006 at 3:05 pm
I love the Pool theme. But why leave off the name of the author of the post?
May 27th, 2006 at 4:39 pm
I would use this forever and ever, if you could actually read the text on the header!
Amazing!
May 27th, 2006 at 5:34 pm
I found it. And it’s neat. But you’re right, some widgets do look weird in it. For example, the FeedBurner animated GIF Feed looks awkward, buttons don’t display well, and a bunch of other problems. But I guess the xml literates could work the problems out. For the rest of us, however, it’s difficult to apply the theme and benefit from it.
May 28th, 2006 at 1:12 pm
I think you should add the theme “Bosa”
