Theme Wednesday: Redoable Lite
Here’s a smart new theme, a “lite” version of Dean J Robinson’s Redoable:
It features a stylish color scheme, customizable header images, and a sidebar column for widgets. Pages are linked in a menu bar just below the header. To keep things simple we’ve left out some of Redoable’s more advanced options, but kept its essential ingredients intact.
You’ll find it listed on your dashboard’s Presentation menu.

Looks good, but i prefer to use a white and light themes. Is there something like that ?
July 11th, 2007 at 11:25 pm
cool! thanks!
July 11th, 2007 at 11:30 pm
That is a cool theme that I have seen around the web on some great sites! It is really customizable! Great deal!

Hi,
I love the theme! Thanx alot!!
I would really love to use the theme but there seems to be a problem with regards to the author’s name under the posts header. When i click the name link (in my case, its pseudonymity, it correctly brings one to my home page BUT if i leave the cursor on the link, the URL on the status bar of the browser shows not only my blog’s URL (which is normal) but also my username.
In other words, instead of just http://pseudonymity.wordpress.com/, it shows http://pseudonymity.wordpress.com/author/(my username).

nice (and welcome) addiction to the “classics” pool !
July 11th, 2007 at 11:46 pm
This is what is the need of the hour, I am going to give it a try…
July 11th, 2007 at 11:47 pm
Sweet. More, sire. More…
July 11th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
First new theme in months that I’ve liked enough to use.
Problem: If you use a custom image header and turn off the title text, there is no obvious way to get back to the main blog. I’ve fixed this temporarily by putting a link in my sidebar via HTML in a text widget, but this theme should really have a “home” link in the horizontal page list, like K2.

I was waiting for a new theme and this is perfect, im gonna prove it!
tnaks wordpress people!
July 12th, 2007 at 12:02 am
Hey, this is very nice. I might just start using this one.
thanks.

I really like these dark looking themes. They are perfect for stranger styles of writing. I almost feel like drinking a small cup of tea in some european dadaic bar, or smth like that.
July 12th, 2007 at 12:37 am
I just put a demo up at http://wptheme.wordpress.com
July 12th, 2007 at 12:42 am
It’s a quite elegant..
Cool man..!!
July 12th, 2007 at 12:44 am
Ooh another win for the dark themes! I like this one.
July 12th, 2007 at 1:03 am
Tried it, hated it. Sorry.
The colors, yes. They work.
But all together, as a whole, it just seemed too umm . . jumbled together. Too cluttered. Not too easy on the eyes.
July 12th, 2007 at 1:17 am
More options! Thanks!
July 12th, 2007 at 1:24 am
Wonderful, this is a beautiful looking theme. One thing I’d like to mention is that, unfortunately, the theme does not contain any custom Page Templates (for Archives, Links Page etc).
If anyone would like to get the full list of which WordPress.com themes have what Page Templates, I have listed them all here.
Anyway, congratulations for this sweet addition! I’m using it!
July 12th, 2007 at 1:32 am
I loved the theme, but there is one bug that should be fixed. When i add a custom header, the header is changed, but a small red line remains. Is there any chance that could be fixed? take a look at my exemple blog: victorpencak.wordpress.com
thank you
July 12th, 2007 at 1:37 am
One of my acquaintances was using this theme on her blog that was on her own server. I really enjoyed playing around on it, so I think this is a great addition to the mix that you guys have going for layouts! Great choice! ^^ I’ll have to use it myself eventually.
July 12th, 2007 at 1:50 am
hmmm dark?? not tipe of me…
July 12th, 2007 at 2:10 am
Victor: That’s the header border. I don’t believe there’s a straightforward way to adjust its colour to match an image. The solution is to use an image that matches the colour scheme.
July 12th, 2007 at 2:20 am
humm I understand. Thanks anyway.
July 12th, 2007 at 2:51 am
Thankyou very much, I love this theme so much.
July 12th, 2007 at 3:03 am
Nice!!!! I think that it would be ideal to have a three-column theme where the user can ’set-and-forget’ the width of the main column, to enable wider photos and cleaner print lines, while still having quick access to all side-column features without the full-page scroll. However – this WP theme may be the closest yet to what i’ve been wanting. Thanx muchly!
July 12th, 2007 at 5:08 am
Add another sidebar please!!!
July 12th, 2007 at 5:32 am
Just in time when I wanted a new theme..
Will check it out
July 12th, 2007 at 5:36 am
Fantabulous!
Dark themes Ruuuleeeee!
July 12th, 2007 at 5:40 am
I think finally I got my design and I am changing my blog design after nearly two years!. my complaints on earlier design were that it had less space on left side and more right side column. Now I got a design which balances right and left well.
thank you so much for this template and I loved IT!
July 12th, 2007 at 6:12 am
Very neat , thanks…
July 12th, 2007 at 6:17 am
Nice one!
July 12th, 2007 at 7:09 am
i tried this theme, but.. well, i think is 2 much for me. To mixed
July 12th, 2007 at 8:17 am
Awesome!!
July 12th, 2007 at 8:57 am
Thanks for the new theme. Can I request more three column themes?
WP rocks, that’s for sure!
July 12th, 2007 at 9:13 am
i love it when new themes are added, but i thought this looks a little similar to some that are already available in wp.com, such as emire, neo-sapien and sunburn.
July 12th, 2007 at 10:15 am
Dark but not attractive enough…
July 12th, 2007 at 11:01 am
beautiful theme. i love dark themes anyway! think I’ll be using this for some time
July 12th, 2007 at 11:26 am
i love it and i told already, everytime that u guys introduce a theme, i use it !
July 12th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
Nice looking theme but what I really need is a 3 column theme with a custom header. Would be nice to see some more of these.
July 12th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
I really like this
thank you for it.
July 12th, 2007 at 1:08 pm
Let me try!
July 12th, 2007 at 1:48 pm
Nifty.
Hope you’re working on one for Halloween!
July 12th, 2007 at 3:02 pm
Please, no more white type on black backgrounds! They are too hard to read and I never read other people’s when they are white on black. It’s just not worth the eye strain.
July 12th, 2007 at 3:33 pm
I like this theme and was looking for something like this that’s not too dark and with a side column wide enough to fit all my crap in.
Thanks WP guys!
July 12th, 2007 at 4:26 pm
a new theme… at last…
I’m using it right now…
July 12th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
The style is really good, but prefer to use a lighter themes
July 12th, 2007 at 5:48 pm
This is sweet guys – thanks for listing in!
July 12th, 2007 at 8:06 pm
Absolutely Rocks!!!! \m/
July 13th, 2007 at 12:53 am
Simple…yet interesting. Thanks!
July 13th, 2007 at 3:12 am
I love the theme!
I put it on straight away!

Its a very nice theme … so good to have one after a long time ..
thanx
July 13th, 2007 at 9:44 am
I like it. No comments in about page.
July 13th, 2007 at 11:40 am
i luv it
July 13th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
What’s with all these DARK themes you keep adding??
We’re not all Anne Rice bloggers.
I appreciate you guys….really….. but your THEMES need some new creative juice!
Try keeping things SIMPLE and CLEAN (enabling US to add subtle changes IF we choose).
I hope my readers focus on my words…not all this “busy stuff” distracting their eyes.
Less is sometimes best.
July 13th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
not bad…but is a bit agressive for my eye
sorry about that
July 13th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
I love it!! it s perfect to me… thank you and God bless u
July 13th, 2007 at 4:04 pm
Lovely but I like a lighter touch. If I cross over into the Dark Side, this is perfect.
July 13th, 2007 at 5:15 pm
good stuff
July 13th, 2007 at 5:28 pm
It’s looks like it’s too dark and difficult to read. Love the idea of more choices, though. Thanks for making the attempt.
July 13th, 2007 at 7:13 pm
That’s another great theme, WordPress. You guys get better and better….
July 13th, 2007 at 7:35 pm
Great theme, When I change my theme I know what one I’ll be using.
July 14th, 2007 at 2:39 am
Color is good. White, minimalist, majority rule is hard on my eyes and my psyche. Black on white contrast levels vibrate.
White is not cleaner than black, grey, or red. And it is dull.
July 14th, 2007 at 9:02 am
Whoa. White sans-serif type –on black ground? When I see those I don’t care how much I want to read or what is written: I click off, fast as possible. That combo works for a poster, sorta, if message of only a few words. Way wouldn’t use such eye-strain for a blog.
How about a theme: beige or pearl-grey ground –or option to choose either?
Or: entire page in cream color? All serif font, deep black.
We don’t have those…they would be Very nice, unique…and since wishing is free: I’d like it to have column(s) on the right side(!). (When will it be ready? lol) It’s probably tons of work to load a new theme, so thanks anyway.

July 14th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
i like this theme too.
July 14th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
It has nice possibilities for photos. I’ll try it out.
July 14th, 2007 at 3:10 pm
It’s a good theme. Anyway, I love the White as a Milk so deep.
July 14th, 2007 at 9:35 pm
It’s be nice to have a design that doesn’t waste so much room on top before the content starts. Especially those that are just color on top.
Thanks!
July 15th, 2007 at 5:12 am
another dark theme..
i ll try it..
thank you.. bravo!!!
July 15th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
My friend seejay will definitely try it
July 17th, 2007 at 3:42 am
Looks sleek..

July 17th, 2007 at 5:48 pm
Another dark theme. Unfortunately I find it tough on the eyes. Need the white space. To much time reading newspapers in the past.
July 18th, 2007 at 1:23 am
Oh, very good. I like it. Thanks. I will use it in my blog.
July 18th, 2007 at 5:50 am
Yeah, it’s ALMOST perfect for me but those red bars that are left after uploading an image have to go.

Cool!
July 18th, 2007 at 12:14 pm
sade ve zarif bir tema, teşekkürler.
