New Theme: Under The Influence
“Under The Influence” is a unique and highly customizable new theme. This theme sports two main content columns and loads of options, providing a unique design for all your visitors to enjoy.

Under The Influence
Aside from a unique design, this theme has lots of great options. Too many to count! For starters, there are multiple header designs, color pickers for main and accent colors, and adjustable column sizes for the expert blogger.

Lots of options!
With just a few clicks you can get an alternate header design with the colors of your choice.

Alternate Header Design
The theme doesn’t stop with the goods either. The footer keeps things stylish with flourishes and a cool multi-column layout!
“Under The Influence” is available for WordPress.com users under Appearance -> Themes. It is also available for WordPress.org users from the Theme Directory. (What’s the difference between WordPress.org and WordPress.com?)

I have a theme request. Can you create a template with a larger header picture? I noticed a template like this that many of my blogging friends from blogspot have. It is too large but I would really like the current theme I am using, Saddish, with twice the header size. Saddish is currently 760px by 190px. This would be fantastic…
April 21st, 2010 at 12:41 pm
simple, but good.
good job guys
April 21st, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Keep those themes coming!
It would also be nice if we could have more widgets to choose from.
April 21st, 2010 at 1:02 pm
I really like this one! thanks a lot guys!
April 21st, 2010 at 1:05 pm
Will this be available for .com accounts? Wait – that’s the whole point of this message isn’t it?
April 21st, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Hi, something with the Widget/Plugin “Calender” is wrong. The position isn’t centered.
April 21st, 2010 at 1:47 pm
nice and cool theme….. good work.
April 21st, 2010 at 1:49 pm
I like it too… Cool..
April 21st, 2010 at 1:55 pm
always missed previous/next post links in most of the themes. this one solves the problem .. :cheers:
April 21st, 2010 at 2:19 pm
yesssssssssssssssssssss!
that’s great. i like it. it makes easier to read and to enjoy our page. and keep the creativity grow.
tks.
April 21st, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Exciting! Looking forward to playing with it!
April 21st, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Thanks for giving us another creative theme to choose from. It’s great to have the option to really make a blog show people’s personalities.
April 21st, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Wow, this is wonderful theme. I alredy used it in two my blogs. Thanks, I do have a fun!
April 21st, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Good call. With almost 300,000 blogs, I assume the design I chose is in use by many others. My hope is that mine can stand out. I have been wishing for more customization options… Thanks for being “under the influence” of users’ desires!
April 21st, 2010 at 3:20 pm
so sweet…..
i like it….
April 21st, 2010 at 3:25 pm
color pickers are a fantastic idea, would love to see that option in more themes! thanks!
April 21st, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Wow, great, I love these intuitive colour settings! Am contemplating a new, visual-oriented blog for which it might be optimal, thanks.
April 21st, 2010 at 4:20 pm
I must try this out!! Thank you!
April 21st, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Very nice. I like the color options and how you can change it to fit your needs.
April 21st, 2010 at 4:34 pm
This is sweet! I love how customizable it is.
April 21st, 2010 at 5:08 pm
I really like this theme a lot…my only problem–or rather question–is how do I adjust what is put in the footer? I have, by default, Tags, Calendar and Archives, but I don’t want the Archives in the footer because it’s already there in the sidebar. How do I take it off or replace it with something else? I’m trying to work it with the widget manager but it doesn’t change…
April 21st, 2010 at 5:17 pm
A bit plain for me. Bring on the dirty grunge themes please!
April 21st, 2010 at 5:25 pm
Never mind, please disregard my last post–I figured it out
April 21st, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Great work man!
Thanks for letting us use a more professional outlook for our blogs.
April 21st, 2010 at 6:27 pm
YAY theme team!
April 21st, 2010 at 6:33 pm
Keep making more themes! Need…light…pink…!!!
April 21st, 2010 at 6:49 pm
Nice theme.Dumb question time; How do I change the links in the Blogroll?
April 21st, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Hey Great Theme
I’m still in love with “Vigilance” though but might change in future.
Good work
keep it up team!
April 21st, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Nice theme, definitely loving all the customizations, makes me feel like I made the theme ^_^
April 21st, 2010 at 7:18 pm
I like it!
April 21st, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Looks pretty cool, and I just LOVE all the options! More customizable theme= better theme
April 21st, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Yet another theme where there is no home page button…great. Why do all the good-looking themes (such as this one) not have a home page button? Aaaargh!
April 21st, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Ooh, I may try this one out
April 21st, 2010 at 9:04 pm
No image for the header?:D
April 21st, 2010 at 9:18 pm
awesome. thank you very much!
April 21st, 2010 at 9:21 pm
seem really nice… i’m going to try it…
April 21st, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Excellent… great flexibility…. thank you
April 21st, 2010 at 10:02 pm
Columns that won’t do funny things to my poems!
Custom Header!
Large enough font to read.
Oh, sweethearts, you rock my heart!
April 21st, 2010 at 10:12 pm
I love the new themes and I really like the one I chose for my own blog!!!
April 21st, 2010 at 11:29 pm
There’s never going to be one for me…
April 22nd, 2010 at 12:12 am

April 22nd, 2010 at 2:47 am
Very impressive!
April 22nd, 2010 at 3:08 am
Impressive. Please keep offering all the excellent customization options for your themes – bloggers love flexibility!
April 22nd, 2010 at 3:12 am
Dear Noël,
This is beautiful. I wish that I can use this theme. Thanks♥
April 22nd, 2010 at 3:17 am
Nice 1 this theme is sexy
April 22nd, 2010 at 3:47 am
it’s simple. but it’s nice.
April 22nd, 2010 at 4:03 am
thanks for sharing
April 22nd, 2010 at 4:36 am
Thank you for share
April 22nd, 2010 at 4:38 am
This is an awesome theme…have moved to this one now and I am really happy with it
April 22nd, 2010 at 6:13 am
I tried the theme momentarily and I hated that my blogroll was at the bottom, as it made my blog ginormous. It has the tag cloud, blogroll, calendar and archives, which makes an otherwise clean theme look busy. Are the widgets in the footers set or can they be changed? In the widget organizer the boxes are empty, so I couldn’t figure out how to change them.
April 22nd, 2010 at 6:22 am
I love seeing all the new themes. Still loving the one I have now,which is one of the new ones. Thanks so much!
April 22nd, 2010 at 6:43 am
I love it! Although I have to comment about the additional links for headers. The links open in a new window. I wish there is an option of opening them in the same window.
April 22nd, 2010 at 7:22 am
Actually now that I have tested this theme I like it and I am using it instead of Inuit Themes! (my readers if I have any will doubtless be dizzy by now.) Why? Because I can alter the width to suit my preference for wider writing area. The only thing I am not keen on is that the fonts used in the sidebar widgets are far too small! We don’t all have 20/20 vision!
Will also be trying out my own header later.
This is more like it WordPress Theme team! Next we need some customization on the size of font used and perhaps some more colourful themes.

My Gravatar is not showing up in the comments area.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:29 am
Thank you very much. Lovely.
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:27 am
Nice theme! extra nice if it has the dropdown option for pages though.
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:00 pm
@ Noël and Team
Now I am using this theme. It’s very cool!
Thanks you and two thumbs for you

This theme is pretty awesome! I like the green look… it makes the blog look crisp and clean! Good job!
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:35 pm
i like this new theme… i think i’ll use it on my next blog soon.
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Boriiiiiing theme…….
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Very Inspiring, must try it. Very soon if not at once.
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:17 pm
That’s great. I will try it soon. Thanks for developing it.
April 22nd, 2010 at 2:23 pm
I just love this! Very smart and practical indeed. I am strongly thinking about adopting it for my second blog.
April 22nd, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Just simple and amazing at the same time… =)
April 22nd, 2010 at 6:00 pm
This one looks great! All the customizable options are a plus, but what really sold me is the footer. Very nice design! I’m going to try it out. Thanks, WordPress!
April 22nd, 2010 at 6:02 pm
Previewed it, but it only shows my widgets, not how text, posts would appear.
April 22nd, 2010 at 6:03 pm
I love colors!
April 22nd, 2010 at 6:31 pm
Truth be told, I really wish that WP would come up with a three-column theme with a custom header that allows more widgets for quotes, links, recent posts, &c. and yet still have the blog sizeably centered in the middle.
Right now, I use the Misty theme — which is very nice — but the whole left side of my blog is completely blank. If WP could add a Misty-style theme that allows for widgets on the left, I would be very happy.
Art abhors a vacuum.
The other three-column themes available do not draw attention to the most recent post (too small) or the colors are wrong (I prefer white so as to highlight my header and certain image widgets).
Please consider this.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Very nice i will give it a try and see how my art work look with it.
April 22nd, 2010 at 11:58 pm
Absolutely cool! Am using it now.
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:09 am
Intriguing. I’m new to themes but I might give this one a try.
April 23rd, 2010 at 3:47 am
I’ll give it a try. I love simple and clean theme
April 23rd, 2010 at 5:25 am
It’s very nice and simple, but when I previewed it with my blog, text from the sidebar widgets seemed to overlap with text from my posts. I guess this theme just doesn’t work with what I’ve got going on my blog?
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:24 am
Nice theme!
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:36 pm
This is the best among WordPress’s themes. But I have some suggestions:
1- I have the same problem as Yêu Titi.
2- And if you can add the Home navigation link option by default for that we can come back to the front page after reading the other pages. I knew we can use “Extra Links” field, which allows adding a custom link but if I hide text i.e my blog doesn’t have log, it doesn’t work.
Many thanks!
April 23rd, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Great theme, I really enjoy it.
April 23rd, 2010 at 4:34 pm
This is awesome!! Definitely going to try this one out! I love the way you can choose your own unique colours. Any more themes on the way like this? Thanks guys.
April 23rd, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Slight, not so slight, problem: the background color hasn’t been set in the CSS. So as my default is set to light-yellow in Firefox, the theme isn’t pleasant for the eye. This could easily be fixed.
Cheers,
April 24th, 2010 at 3:02 am
Is there any way to change the background color?
Kinda new to these things.
April 24th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
You can use the Custom CSS upgrade to change the background color.
April 24th, 2010 at 3:03 am
I love this new theme! It is great!
April 24th, 2010 at 7:02 am
Cool theme,

Liking this theme a lot. Using it now. It’s becoming a tradition on my blog to always change to the latest theme you release. Seems you put more and more quality into each new one.
April 25th, 2010 at 9:22 am
