New Theme: Neo-Sapien
For those of you wanting darker themes, we’ve got a neat one called Neo-Sapien from WP Designer.
It has a very prominent custom header and not one, or two, but three sidebars you can put widgets in. You can find the theme under your “presentation” tab in the dashboard.

It’s good. It should appeal to the narcissists. Well done.
April 16th, 2007 at 11:14 am
Slick!
Love the colors!
April 16th, 2007 at 11:26 am
A very beautiful theme!
April 16th, 2007 at 11:28 am
Beautiful indeed.
April 16th, 2007 at 11:29 am
looks really cool, except i dont like dark themes
April 16th, 2007 at 11:42 am
For some reason I don’t really find this theme very attractive. The colour scheme looks a bit weird, with red over black but with the header of the red. In my opinion it looks really “messy” and inconsistent. I guess I’ll stick with Freshy
.
Still, thanks a lot for constantly updating the themes, I’m definitely looking forward to even more

nice! i love the bold, contrasting colours. and love the bigass header!
April 16th, 2007 at 11:55 am
oh that’s tasty…real tasty.
not bad. thanks!
April 16th, 2007 at 12:01 pm
Oh man. Way too good.
April 16th, 2007 at 12:08 pm
OMG ORGASM
April 16th, 2007 at 12:14 pm
cool!
April 16th, 2007 at 12:21 pm
It’s Odd …It’s Macabre…
and it’s another great one for my site!

WordPress is great about continually introducing things we can use. I’m not easily impressed – but I am with WordPress.
I love visual imagery and appreciate good photography so I’ve been watching for a theme that allows images/pictures to be used in the header without the severe cropping many require. This one has a prominent picture at the top. I like that about it.
I like the vibrance of bright red and black. I just hope it doesn’t detract from or clash with the subtle colors in a lot of the pictures I like. I guess we’ll find out.
Sidebar column widths really scrunch some of the entry titles, don’t they?
The search bar almost disappears (look again, it’s still there)
If you mouse-over the dates in red on the calendar you can see the post titles for that day. That could come in handy.
In most of the themes I’ve used thus-far, a click anywhere in the header picture takes you to the top of everything. In this theme only the “Home” tab at the top does that.
I’m looking forward to checking this out, It’s well-done!

Great job!
April 16th, 2007 at 12:48 pm
Looks great, but I am having a hard time getting the picture to show, and the widgets where I want them. May take some work.
April 16th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
Excellent addition. You guys never cease to amaze me. Thanks Matt.
April 16th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Alright! Thanks WordPress, for all these uber-cool themes! I love this one.

April 16th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
very good i like the movie : Casshern, you should see it :0
April 16th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
Can we have some more girly themes tho? Maybe light pastel colours?
April 16th, 2007 at 11:50 pm
3 sidebars and a custom header? Is that a first?
April 17th, 2007 at 12:31 am
I like the looks of the theme but like other comments there’s no blog title…
As far as I can see that’s the only thing that may keep me away from it.
April 17th, 2007 at 3:30 am
It’s up on my page. Really crispy!
April 17th, 2007 at 3:53 am
Really cool, i love dark colors and the header too, it’s from one of my favorite japanese movies, called Casshern it’s really awsome, keep doing like this Matt, i’m gonna use it right now. Thanks a lot for create something so cool.
April 17th, 2007 at 4:07 am
YEAH!!!! bout time!
thank you.
April 17th, 2007 at 4:16 am
I tried it for a day – liked it a lot but went back to MistyLook.
Love this place. You’re always introducing options. I appreciate that.
April 17th, 2007 at 4:49 am
ubber cool!
April 17th, 2007 at 4:52 am
Very nice. I like it.
April 17th, 2007 at 4:58 am
I love black and red, I just wish my blog was appropriate…maybe a Black and Blue version?
April 17th, 2007 at 6:06 am
can’t stop grinning since i saw this theme. Just what I was looking for. I am going to experiment a bit before I finally put it up but use it I am going to. Thanks and thanks.
April 17th, 2007 at 6:17 am
This is by far my favorite WP theme. I’m using it right now.
April 17th, 2007 at 7:39 am
Love the banner coming from Cashern (the movie) !
April 17th, 2007 at 8:09 am
O my god, I like it !!
April 17th, 2007 at 8:30 am
This is cool! just a great contribution… love it!
April 17th, 2007 at 8:34 am
rly nice theme, but I have a little problem with the positions of the sidebars xD
April 17th, 2007 at 8:36 am
yup…i agree with mia…WP lack of neat girly themes…
but this one not bad…
April 17th, 2007 at 10:20 am
Looks a bit evil/freaky… But I’d hav 2 admit it’s quite cool
April 17th, 2007 at 10:47 am
Have used it for my blog…for now it stays. The best theme I’ve had on my blog & I’ve had a few!
April 17th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
nice, nice, It is a bit dark…
April 17th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
Thanks for sharing – new themes are always fun to play with!
April 17th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
Wow. Multiple columns and a customizable header. That sounds like what folks have been clamoring for! Thanks for this.
I like the dark look, though I’m not sure my site is ready for that much red.
April 17th, 2007 at 1:54 pm
I switched to the new theme but the title of my blog wasn’t there – so I added it to the image. Let me see how this works.
April 17th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
Nice theme… Thanks \m/
April 17th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
This is great and I love it but I may have to quit it….I cannot line up my widgets for sh1t.
April 17th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
beautiful!
April 17th, 2007 at 4:23 pm
well not right now, for i’m feeling a little bit simplistic at the moment, but its good to know hat its there should i need it!! looks great!!
April 17th, 2007 at 4:53 pm
Bold. Appreciate the effort.
April 17th, 2007 at 6:29 pm
Love the colors. Hate the layout.
April 17th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
Marvelous
April 17th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
that’s Casshern banner!!
love it..thanks!!
April 17th, 2007 at 8:44 pm
Looking at the picture Matt put above, I really like it. When I tried it out… not so much.
In the pic above the body column is centered and the left sidebar looks to be a decent width. Plus there are only 2 sidebars. When I tried it out…I wanted to fill only 2 sidebars, it added content in the 3rd sidebar by default. and the left side bar is unreadable because it is so narrow. Plus the whole presentation isn’t centered which drives me crazy. Does anyone who got it to look like the pic above have any advice?
April 17th, 2007 at 9:35 pm
I have a weird feeling that I need that.
April 17th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
That is so cool, but one of my friends just snagged it.
I would like to request a theme that has readable font on the posts *and* the comments, that also has some dark to it, but a light colored post field. I am currently using Sapphire 1.0, like it a lot because it goes with my custom header, but I am getting complaints that the comments are almost unreadable due to the tiny font size.
April 18th, 2007 at 12:38 am
I like the variety of themes. One thing though – would it be hard to make a few of them handle wider pictures without trimming off one side of the picture? I am finding it hard to find a theme that can handle nice, large, pictures on pages.
(I haven’t really worked with CSS, so I am not about to start editing it myself).
April 18th, 2007 at 12:54 am
i am in search for a more beautiful and elegant theme. i guess i wanna give this a try anyway i can revert back to my old theme…thanks for constantly updating this…
April 18th, 2007 at 1:57 am
nice dark theme. thanks.
April 18th, 2007 at 6:26 am
Loving this.
April 18th, 2007 at 1:20 pm
Looks great. And three sidebars to boot!
April 18th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Very interesting and cool. Very dark and gloomy so, i guess it’s not for me =(
April 18th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
really nice I like it but I don’t like dark themes
April 18th, 2007 at 4:58 pm
luv the new theme! it roks!!!! the movie is also good.
April 18th, 2007 at 5:56 pm

too good one.
April 18th, 2007 at 6:11 pm
Good Job….
April 18th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
Looks Great!
April 18th, 2007 at 7:50 pm
A little bit vampiric but cool
April 18th, 2007 at 8:07 pm
