New Theme: monochrome
Sleek, and bursting with elegance, I’m happy to bring you monochrome, another addition to the wonderful collection of themes available on WordPress.com. monochrome is a beautiful theme with wonderful details.
monochrome, the theme, in action.
The name comes from the theme’s monochromatic color palette. Beautiful and sleek, it’s the attention to detail that really makes this theme shine.
metadata, sub-menus, and the search Box
The headers and dates are uniquely styled. The menu shows sub pages, with a nice smooth animation as well. And don’t forget the custom search box widget styled up with rounded corners.
Want to check out monochrome? Just login to your WordPress.com blog and click on Appearance -> Themes in the sidebar. Preview the theme and if you like it, activate it.
If you are a WordPress.org user, please check out monochrome on the .org Theme Repository

What a supper theme! Thanks Guys!
January 20th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
this is perfect! I like it
January 20th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
yay for new themes! nice how this has lots of black for drama but the text is easy to read
January 20th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
I like it, very cool, modern, very nice
January 20th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Overall it is visually pleasing and attractive, especially with the photo displayed. I like the placement of pages, sidebars, and the date. Just not sure if I would make use of the calendar or if I like its position. The color highlight (options?) are a big plus adding dimension to the layout, which I think give it a real modern edge. Overall, I think it’s great and will consider it for sure. Awesome work!!! Thank you!
January 20th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
wow. nice. do want.
January 20th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
I also found a bug. If you go to a “page”, it will show the date as if it was a “post”. Pages should not show the date.
I think it’s great that new themes keep coming more often these months! I still hope a cool theme with black background would come along soon.

“The name comes from the theme’s monochromatic color palette”
But… but… it’s not monochrome. It uses at least five, maybe six colours.
January 20th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
i had problems with the categories cloud…. mixed up with my last post…
January 20th, 2010 at 9:04 pm

January 20th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
Awesome the just what i was looking for. thanks!
January 20th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Great
January 20th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
I already started using it. It’s simple, sleek, and beautiful.
January 20th, 2010 at 11:15 pm

January 20th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Thank you for continuing to create new themes. Can a suggest a few more “pretty” ones?
January 20th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
Loving the theme! Make me want to post more often now! Great job!

January 21st, 2010 at 7:47 am

January 21st, 2010 at 8:00 am

January 21st, 2010 at 8:07 am

Great! Another impressive theme!
January 21st, 2010 at 2:44 pm
I Love it! thank you
January 21st, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Love it! Switched to it yesterday and am getting a lot of positive feedback on the look.It’s a keeper!
January 21st, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Gorgeous, I’m thrilled with it for my Postcards From The Dinner Table blog. The only thing on my wish-list for this theme would be having the options to switch the background color scheme (and not to something like screaming pink or gleaming lime) for people like me who can’t figure out CSS for love nor money.
Thanks, anyway! Great theme.
January 21st, 2010 at 4:28 pm
waw !! That’s perfect theme. I like it and i have been used it. I’ll be waiting for the new theme design
January 21st, 2010 at 4:42 pm
wow super template thanks.
January 21st, 2010 at 5:09 pm
I think that is the one I was waiting for… thank you!
January 21st, 2010 at 5:34 pm
A great thing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:46 pm
I love it, but in Safari the arrow on the top menu isn’t positioning right for me.
January 21st, 2010 at 8:19 pm
Hello Noel,
I just tried it out…but for me the text contrast with the backround is a little difficult to read easily…the previous 40 people think it’s great…there’s always one…sorry!
January 21st, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Cool Theme
Using for my blog.
January 21st, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Love it!!
January 21st, 2010 at 9:20 pm
looks amazing!
i will try it out definitelly
January 21st, 2010 at 9:42 pm
love and am using it… !
January 21st, 2010 at 10:13 pm
I think HTML tags on the information area (top right) does not work
January 21st, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Looks great! Will consider switching my blog to it.
January 21st, 2010 at 11:56 pm
Yeah…prettily urbane and urbanely pretty.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:24 am
Sexy
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:40 am
I love it. I’m using it now and I think this may be THE ONE for me.
…At least for now.
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:10 am
Very nice. I tried it on a new blog I’m putting together and it looks great. A great addition would be a “table of contents” in the form of a drop down menu. I’m currently using the ChaoticSoul theme and it has a widget for this. Any chance on getting one for this theme, too?
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:15 am
VERY NICE LOOK
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:40 am
awesome theme
it’s just too bad there’s some typography “annoyances” such as the unformatted and excessive padding for the and tag
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:57 am
Totally scrambles my blog in preview. the widgets text is spread all over the first post.
January 22nd, 2010 at 3:48 am
beautiful! i using that right now
January 22nd, 2010 at 4:29 am
It’s gorgeous, but the date format on the postings seems fixed. E.g., Jan 19 is 01/19.
I’m in the UK. It should be 19/01. Dealbreaker for me, I fear.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:16 am
I think my 1st comment was too long? It’s visually pleasing with the photo used. placement of pages, etc., is great. not sure about calendar use or positioning. color highlights are awesome + add dimension/modern edge. awesome work. thank you!
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:14 am
love it
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:27 am
this is nice, love this. i already give it a try
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:57 am

looks good
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:19 am
great theme..thanks
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Wow! Love it
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:35 pm
I like it! We switched to it! I’m sure our thousands of readers would enjoy the nice clean change!
However! The information bar says ‘Information contents. ( HTML tag is available. )’
We cannot use HTML tags such as italics or in it. Also is there a way to hide the Information part?
The look is perfect!
:].
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:32 pm
This is simply awesome! Love it, and using it right now!
January 22nd, 2010 at 2:09 pm
hmm….most of people will try this theme…how about me??
January 22nd, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Let’s try it…..!!!
January 22nd, 2010 at 3:47 pm

January 22nd, 2010 at 4:25 pm

January 22nd, 2010 at 5:42 pm
I’m still new….got to take a look at all the themes, but monochrome looks great:)
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:30 pm
Nice theme! simple but beautiful!
January 22nd, 2010 at 6:50 pm
I’ll try it
January 22nd, 2010 at 7:35 pm
I have tried it out, but it would be great if the date format could be customisable so that instead of saying 01/22 (US format) it could be set to 22/01 (non-US format).
Thanks.
January 22nd, 2010 at 8:09 pm
i will try it xD
January 22nd, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Just in time! I used it to start my new blog and it looks GREAT. Thanks very much!
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:32 pm
nice theme, thanks…
January 23rd, 2010 at 12:38 am
nice one .. !!
January 23rd, 2010 at 1:48 am
The return to the top function is not functioning properly. When you click it, it only climbs up slowly, to all the way to the top.
January 23rd, 2010 at 5:21 am
good
January 23rd, 2010 at 6:22 am
it’s amazing………….
January 23rd, 2010 at 6:38 am

January 23rd, 2010 at 11:07 am

)
January 23rd, 2010 at 11:08 am
how to use it??
January 23rd, 2010 at 11:10 am
sorry. i wanna ask something,
how to use it? without downloading i mean
January 23rd, 2010 at 11:17 am
I was looking for something nice, will surely try this one . thanks
January 23rd, 2010 at 11:37 am
premium theme!
January 23rd, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Nice looking, though, I think I will stick with my Ocean Mist. If you get one, that is patriotic for America, and has a Custom Header, then I will try it. Thanks for the many you have.
January 23rd, 2010 at 2:50 pm
hello, i begin to use it
is there a way to hide dates for pages.
i like to have it for my blog entries but i present mainly pages in my website.
January 23rd, 2010 at 3:41 pm
beautiful Theme!
How can I delete “just another wordpress.com webblog”
normaly it is under options > general in the dashboard but here I cannot find it.
Cheers
January 23rd, 2010 at 5:11 pm
i absolutely love this theme! i suspect i’ll be using it for quite some time.
January 23rd, 2010 at 5:42 pm
Looks Awesome!
