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.
December 6th, 2006 at 1:21 am
oooo it’s nice to see another two-side colum theme
nice job!!!

oooo…. NICE!
December 6th, 2006 at 1:35 am
It’s up on http://wptheme.wordpress.com if anyone wants to look at a live demo.
December 6th, 2006 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?
December 6th, 2006 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!
December 6th, 2006 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.
December 6th, 2006 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.
December 6th, 2006 at 2:01 am
I do like the theme, but it just didn’t look right in my browser.
December 6th, 2006 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.
December 6th, 2006 at 2:47 am
Can ya make this in a purplish and teal?
December 6th, 2006 at 3:07 am
Amazing at last a cool looking three column layout
December 6th, 2006 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?
December 6th, 2006 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.
December 6th, 2006 at 3:26 am
That is very nice. Glad to see you guys are introducing more three column themes.
December 6th, 2006 at 3:35 am
Doesn’t TUAW use a highly customized version of this theme ?
December 6th, 2006 at 4:00 am
Using the theme now and it’s got a very professional feel which is what I like about it.
December 6th, 2006 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
December 6th, 2006 at 4:21 am
Nice Theme that! And Two-columned too…something that I haven’t tried out!
Tx
December 6th, 2006 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
December 6th, 2006 at 5:04 am
ooh, two column, nice
December 6th, 2006 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
December 6th, 2006 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.
December 6th, 2006 at 6:12 am
Ah! looking beautiful
December 6th, 2006 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
December 6th, 2006 at 6:37 am
It’s a pretty cool theme.
December 6th, 2006 at 6:54 am
nice job! thanks!
currently using this theme..
Woot!
December 6th, 2006 at 7:25 am
That looks pretty cool, to bright for me though!
December 6th, 2006 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!
December 6th, 2006 at 8:22 am
Cool theme! Good job!
December 6th, 2006 at 8:25 am
awesome!
i’ll try it..
December 6th, 2006 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.
December 6th, 2006 at 9:17 am
Yay, a 3-column theme. Hopefully there will be more 3-column themes coming up
December 6th, 2006 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…
December 6th, 2006 at 10:40 am
Great Job, Bryan but I’d rather see the sidebars placed in Left & Right.
December 6th, 2006 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.
December 6th, 2006 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
December 6th, 2006 at 1:30 pm
now, this is good!
love it… time to change a new skin when time allows!
December 6th, 2006 at 2:36 pm
Gorgeous WordPress ever..
December 6th, 2006 at 2:59 pm
Will someone tell me how can I try this theme on my blog ?
Thanks in advance!
December 6th, 2006 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.
December 6th, 2006 at 3:32 pm
Looks good! More choices is always better.
December 6th, 2006 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
December 6th, 2006 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
December 6th, 2006 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
December 6th, 2006 at 4:15 pm
Good grief! You wait a long time for a brand new theme, then two come at once! Excellent!
December 6th, 2006 at 4:29 pm
cool.
i missed having new themes, and now you gave us two more. thanks.
December 6th, 2006 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.
December 6th, 2006 at 6:11 pm
nifty!
December 6th, 2006 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.
December 6th, 2006 at 7:19 pm
Looking good! I just wonder how to change theme
December 6th, 2006 at 8:39 pm
I’ll add my voice to the other calls for a three-column theme with custom header capability. Pretty please?
December 7th, 2006 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.
December 7th, 2006 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…
December 7th, 2006 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.
December 7th, 2006 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!
December 7th, 2006 at 5:03 am
Good job but please can we have some more colour options. Thanks
December 7th, 2006 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.
December 7th, 2006 at 5:24 am
We can’t view NEXT or PREV posts either.
December 7th, 2006 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.
December 7th, 2006 at 7:18 am
AND there is no quick “edit” button for the comments that someone has posted.
December 7th, 2006 at 11:30 am
I’m totally missing a minimalistic gold and silver theme… can we have that next? Pleeeeease?
December 7th, 2006 at 4:08 pm
Ooh, a big blue header. Innovative.
December 7th, 2006 at 4:27 pm
I second dresramblings up there — where’s the custom header?!
December 7th, 2006 at 4:40 pm
awesome using it now
December 7th, 2006 at 5:58 pm
Like this one, looks quite clean.
December 7th, 2006 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!
December 7th, 2006 at 8:19 pm
Nice Theme..enjoying changing theme, I like it
December 7th, 2006 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)
December 7th, 2006 at 9:19 pm
I’d rather have full posts on the main page.
December 8th, 2006 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.
December 8th, 2006 at 4:58 am
I love the colors of this theme ^^ Yay!
December 8th, 2006 at 11:46 am
Very nice thanks again guys!
December 8th, 2006 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.
December 10th, 2006 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.
December 10th, 2006 at 11:04 pm
ehhhh pretty good
January 19th, 2007 at 9:56 am
Very, very nice!!
What about a customizable header as well?
February 10th, 2007 at 3:45 am
I want a three column theme with custom header too! Pleeeeease!
July 11th, 2007 at 5:20 am
where I can find the CSS of this themes ?
November 24th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
I like it. Nice Theme..enjoying changing theme.
