New Theme: Fadtastic
Right on Matt’s tail, I have a theme I’d like to introduce to you all. I told myself that the next theme you’d see me release would either have 3-columnes or be fluid, and you happen to get both with Fadtastic.
As you can see, it’s a pretty bright theme which supports two widgtized sidebars. Oh, and this one is also pretty green, just not as green as the last one.

Good work! But I realised the words go out of alignment after “blockquote”. Also prefer something which gives a full post or at least an intro section for subsequent entries instead of just the title.
Dec 6th at 1:21 am
oooo it’s nice to see another two-side colum theme
nice job!!!

oooo…. NICE!
Dec 6th at 1:35 am
It’s up on http://wptheme.wordpress.com if anyone wants to look at a live demo.
Dec 6th at 1:40 am
Nice. It is bright, however I don’t know if I like the cut off of a blog entry and only the header displays for the past few posts. Anyway that some customization like that could come into it?
Dec 6th at 1:41 am
Looks cool.
It’s fantastic. Users will have more designs to choose from in WordPress.com and, rest assured, it will make your blog feel good-lookin’. So keep it up, Mr. B!
Dec 6th at 1:43 am
I’ll change the whole “excerpt as the first entry” to a full post for the first entry. And I’ll check that blockquote problem out as well.
Dec 6th at 1:55 am
Come on you guys, your efforts are appreciated, but can’t ya’ll make something fun and sexy, or dark and luscious…or brooding and mysterious, or maybe something in fun shades like bright reds and pinks?
Why don’t you create one called Electra, inspired by Carmen? lol
Thanks again.
Dec 6th at 2:01 am
I do like the theme, but it just didn’t look right in my browser.
Dec 6th at 2:44 am
I’m loving it. But I’m still hoping to see a three column with a custom header soon… I’ve been wanting one for so long! This one is great though… as always.
Dec 6th at 2:47 am
Can ya make this in a purplish and teal?
Dec 6th at 3:07 am
Amazing at last a cool looking three column layout
Dec 6th at 3:20 am
I like this theme! It’s something different!
One tiny problem… image padding doesn’t seem to work. hspace and vspace in the editor don’t show up. Any chance of fixing this?
Dec 6th at 3:25 am
ok Somethings wrong here its supposed to be three columns I cant see the second column in my widgets area to adjust my widgets.
Dec 6th at 3:26 am
That is very nice. Glad to see you guys are introducing more three column themes.
Dec 6th at 3:35 am
Doesn’t TUAW use a highly customized version of this theme ?
Dec 6th at 4:00 am
Using the theme now and it’s got a very professional feel which is what I like about it.
Dec 6th at 4:06 am
ok another problem the beginning Letter in the left side are getting hidden in IE 6.0 Check my blog to see what I mean
Dec 6th at 4:21 am
Nice Theme that! And Two-columned too…something that I haven’t tried out!
Tx
Dec 6th at 4:22 am
I have been looking for a 3 column layout for awhile.Too bad this was not what i was looking for.Thx for try ing though!
AXE
Dec 6th at 5:04 am
ooh, two column, nice
Dec 6th at 5:47 am
I respect the work involved. I like the pretty ones the best if one can be cute and funky and have all these features I’d love it
Dec 6th at 6:10 am
Gee, a new green and blue theme. That will provide a great alternative to the existing blue, green, black, gray and occasional-maroon-or-orange-accent themes. Somebody needs to get you guys a color wheel and cover the “cool” part of it with masking tape.
Dec 6th at 6:12 am
Ah! looking beautiful
Dec 6th at 6:32 am
Hi,
Nice to have this theme! I love it and have it to my blog!!
It is really cool and nice!!
Thanks a lot!!
Keep on growing!!
Best Smile,
Zeezat
Dec 6th at 6:37 am
It’s a pretty cool theme.
Dec 6th at 6:54 am
nice job! thanks!
currently using this theme..
Woot!
Dec 6th at 7:25 am
That looks pretty cool, to bright for me though!
Dec 6th at 8:14 am
This is great! Do you think possible a grey one with a taller header? That would be the ideal theme for us at [weBloggers.com]…
Cheers!
Dec 6th at 8:22 am
Cool theme! Good job!
Dec 6th at 8:25 am
awesome!
i’ll try it..
Dec 6th at 9:14 am
‘Tis a pleasant theme that’s easy on the eyes, as always. However, I’m with Stiletto Girl on this one. I wouldn’t mind trying out a three-column theme, but the main reason I’m sticking with the “Neat” theme is because it’s dark. Put those two things together, and I think I’d give it a whirl.
Dec 6th at 9:17 am
Yay, a 3-column theme. Hopefully there will be more 3-column themes coming up
Dec 6th at 10:32 am
Three column themes are just what I’m looking for, but after using Press Row for a while, I’m not willing to give up the custom header…
Dec 6th at 10:40 am
Great Job, Bryan but I’d rather see the sidebars placed in Left & Right.
Dec 6th at 11:06 am
Gah! Is there any way not to have the 2nd sidebar contents repeat itself at the BOTTOM? It’s redundant, and looks really really bad.
Dec 6th at 12:43 pm
Hei there Bryan.
Great stuff n grand job. Purple would be ab fab, please… Take care n do keep well. Rii xx
Dec 6th at 1:30 pm
now, this is good!
love it… time to change a new skin when time allows!
Dec 6th at 2:36 pm
Gorgeous WordPress ever..
Dec 6th at 2:59 pm
Will someone tell me how can I try this theme on my blog ?
Thanks in advance!
Dec 6th at 3:08 pm
It’s a very nice-looking theme. Very different in usability terms, and I think a lot of people will enjoy it.
Dec 6th at 3:32 pm
Looks good! More choices is always better.
Dec 6th at 3:45 pm
You need some minutes to get used to it, but I like it very much – especially because it has a fluid width and overall three columns, we could use more of them
Dec 6th at 3:51 pm
I like this theme but like dresramblings said, I too would like a three colum theme with a custom header as well… Nice theme though would like to give it a try
Dec 6th at 4:00 pm
I quite like it. I’d probably switch to if it had some more customisation options (colours and title text and so on).
It looks good anyway. Well done
Dec 6th at 4:15 pm
Good grief! You wait a long time for a brand new theme, then two come at once! Excellent!
Dec 6th at 4:29 pm
cool.
i missed having new themes, and now you gave us two more. thanks.
Dec 6th at 5:57 pm
Thanks. Keep up the work on new themes. I am looking for a three column (L&R sidebars). This is getting close, just not quite for me personally.
Dec 6th at 6:11 pm
nifty!
Dec 6th at 6:24 pm
I am having small problems related to text alignments.. i dunno much css stuff, or i would have explained more here.
Great job. Thanks to all of ya.
Dec 6th at 7:19 pm
Looking good! I just wonder how to change theme
Dec 6th at 8:39 pm
I’ll add my voice to the other calls for a three-column theme with custom header capability. Pretty please?
Dec 7th at 12:41 am
I have been waiting for another three column theme for a long time (I use Andreas) but after reading everyone’s comments I wonder whether I should switch.
Dec 7th at 2:18 am
I like it but could we have the option of an excerp on later posts rather than just the posts title or maybe the option of more than just one full post – option of 1, 3 or 5 – something like that.
also the abilty for a pic in the title.
thanks for the effort though…
Dec 7th at 2:26 am
I like it. I want to use it. But there are two problems:
1. No support for my custom image header. boooo!
2. I looove the second column – just what I needed. But how do I move widgets into that second column? No can do! booooo!
You guys at WP rock – I’m keeping the faith.
Cheers,
Mark.
Dec 7th at 4:40 am
A fantastic-looking theme! Just when I thought that this was the one I was waiting for, I see a hitch — only the last post being displayed in full and the next 9 (or is it 8?) with only headlines. Too bad!
Dec 7th at 5:03 am
Good job but please can we have some more colour options. Thanks
Dec 7th at 5:13 am
Ahhh… another huge problems for this theme design.
3. The front page only has 1 post on it. This is quite attractive actually.
4. So then people are forced into one of the post. This is the big problem. When viewing an individual post like this
http://achristian.wordpress.com/2006/12/07/the-facets-and-shades-and-colors-of-people/
there is no way to view or even RECENT POSTS or RELATED POSTS.
Therefore every individual post page is a dead end. The visitor leaves.
This theme is visually attractive but it falls down – seriously – in it’s functionality and usefulness.
But WP rocks on!! I’m keeping the faith!! (In spite of someone disabling my login).
Cheers,
Mark.
Dec 7th at 5:24 am
We can’t view NEXT or PREV posts either.
Dec 7th at 5:30 am
Hurray! This what I’ve been clamoring for months. We really needed–and still need–a number of three-column themes which we can use to accomodate and make prominent the myriad of links on our weblogs. This is definitely a good step forward. We’re waiting for more.
Dec 7th at 7:18 am
AND there is no quick “edit” button for the comments that someone has posted.
Dec 7th at 11:30 am
I’m totally missing a minimalistic gold and silver theme… can we have that next? Pleeeeease?
Dec 7th at 4:08 pm
Ooh, a big blue header. Innovative.
Dec 7th at 4:27 pm
I second dresramblings up there — where’s the custom header?!
Dec 7th at 4:40 pm
awesome using it now
Dec 7th at 5:58 pm
Like this one, looks quite clean.
Dec 7th at 7:19 pm
Excellent theme! From now on my default! I would like to ask 2 things:
- if possible, more full text articles on front page (than just 1)
- if possible, the comment form AFTER the comments. Someone always first reads an article, then reads the comments, and then he may comment the article (using the form). I think it would be better if Comments are JUST BELOW article and the comment form AFTER the comments.
Thanks again guys for the time you spent making our life easier more wonderful!
Dec 7th at 8:19 pm
Nice Theme..enjoying changing theme, I like it
Dec 7th at 8:21 pm
Well I am going to go against the crowd it just more of the same .. give us something fresh! Please :0)
Dec 7th at 9:19 pm
I’d rather have full posts on the main page.
Dec 8th at 1:33 am
I admire the hard work and creativity with all these themes, but am the only person who thinks these doubled up sidebars make pages look lopsided and overwhelming? A sidebar on each side makes more sense to me, if two are needed.
Dec 8th at 4:58 am
I love the colors of this theme ^^ Yay!
Dec 8th at 11:46 am
Very nice thanks again guys!
Dec 8th at 3:24 pm
I like the look… but I’m concerned about lack of traffic to older posts. I’d like the option of how many posts to show up on the main page… though I doubt that will be added.
We’ll see how it goes.
Dec 10th at 3:20 am
After careful consideration and many hours of staring at the blank wall of my office in deliberation, I have decided to use this theme for my quotes page; http://thequotes.wordpress.com
I have also realized I need to get some pictures for my wall.
Dec 10th at 11:04 pm
ehhhh pretty good
Jan 19th at 9:56 am
Very, very nice!!
What about a customizable header as well?
Feb 10th at 3:45 am
I want a three column theme with custom header too! Pleeeeease!
Jul 11th at 5:20 am
where I can find the CSS of this themes ?
Nov 24th at 1:45 pm
I like it. Nice Theme..enjoying changing theme.
