New Theme: Greyzed
Today’s new theme is dirty and grungy-looking—but that’s just what makes it so good! Let’s take a look at Greyzed.
The Greyzed Theme
While Greyzed might look rough it’s been carefully designed and it isn’t short on features. Starting at the top, it has a really sharp drop-down menu ready for our new menus feature. Visit Appearance → Menus and you can order the links here any way you like.
Customizable Drop Down Menus
The distinctive Greyzed design elements are repeated throughout your blog and finish off nicely at the bottom of each page with an optional extra-large widgetized footer in the same tough style. Visit Appearance → Widgets and add any Widget to Footer Left, Footer Middle, or Footer Right, to create your own unique footer.
Footer Widgets in Greyzed
Greyzed is available today in your WordPress.com dashboard under Appearance → Themes and, for WordPress.org users, in the WordPress.org themes directory.

I’m not convinced that I should change to this, but it is great! Different from what we have been getting lately.
Jun 3rd at 2:52 pm
Really cool! Thanks people
Jun 3rd at 2:53 pm
Nice one. Very Banksy-like and alternative!
Jun 3rd at 2:59 pm
Really, really cool … I like it very much … grey, black and red is great for punk rock band blogs for example … gotta find a way use this one as soon as possible.
Jun 3rd at 2:59 pm
Very nice.
I’d love it if it’s more colorful..
Thanks Ian.
Keep adding beautiful themes

I have some friends that would definitely like this theme. If I had anything grundgy or cool, I’d have used it, but I’m way too reserved in my writing
Jun 3rd at 3:03 pm
wow it looks insane. but not what i’m looking for.
will you try some portfolio themes? some like the ones from “Themeforest” would be cool.
I know, asking too much!
Jun 3rd at 3:04 pm
Wow! That’s crazy good fun! I’m not wild about the footer widgets, but the color and tone and feel and taste of the overall theme are exciting!
Jun 3rd at 3:05 pm
Wow. This one is pretty interesting. Take things to a whole new level. I like it! Make some more of this kind and everyone will be craving more more!! XD
Jun 3rd at 3:06 pm
This does look sensational … but please … can we have some girly themes!? There are very few available … and … I am beginning to think that there are only males on the design team!
Jun 3rd at 3:27 pm
We try and mix things up with the themes we launch here and—have no fear—there are more girly themes on the way.
Jun 3rd at 3:21 pm
It seems to fit for boys only. I also would like to have some flowers or colors or… Please!!!
Jun 3rd at 3:24 pm
We have some more colorful themes coming down the line.
Jun 3rd at 3:22 pm
really what I have been looking for!
Jun 3rd at 3:28 pm
Wow, this is simply amazing! And very unique too! Great to see this one, keep them coming!
I don’t agree that it’s too boyish, I would love to find use for this one and I’m a girl.
Maybe on one of my other blogs.
Though I honestly feel there should be more black themes, there are hardly any good ones right now.
Jun 3rd at 3:32 pm
Thank you, guys!
Jun 3rd at 3:34 pm
I saw this as a Blogger theme, and CSS was available for WordPress. But I didn’t want to buy it, and the CSS upgrade. I love this theme though. Keep it up, WP.
Jun 3rd at 3:37 pm
OMG this is going to be SO overused
Jun 3rd at 3:42 pm
This theme is not the traditional one, I like it. As there are few colours, it is fine to put emphasis on pictures, Great. I’ll try it.
Jun 3rd at 3:43 pm
Great color!
Ian, can’t wait to see another one. More colorful, I hope.
Jun 3rd at 3:45 pm
I love this! Greyzed is the first new theme which has piqued my interest enough to actually think seriously about changing over. And you have to know, I love my own theme – - am comfortable with it and am not looking to make a change. But. . . .I’m going to think some more. Thanks to you all. Jan
Jun 3rd at 3:46 pm
That a very cool style
Jun 3rd at 3:50 pm
I think it would be cool if I could preview new themes from the announcement page here vs. having to navigate in the Dashboard to view a theme.
Jun 3rd at 3:54 pm
nice theme here, will try it soon! =)
Jun 3rd at 3:55 pm
I’m thinking Zombie Apocalypse, here. Very atmospheric, in that regard. If I do anything related to the inevitable zombie apocalpyse, I shall remember this theme.
Jun 3rd at 3:57 pm
That is one NEAT theme! I`d totally go for this one if the post-background came in black! <3
Hey, why are Black-LetterHead, Hemingway and Sunburn the only themes with really black backgrounds?
I think a twin Greyzed would do great with a background going from grey borders, subtly into a black space with grey/white text! (Sort of like the banner/title does, only inverted… and more square.)
Jun 3rd at 3:59 pm
Cool look very underground excellent for my blog
Jun 3rd at 4:01 pm
I like it; it’s a little different than the kind that you usually have. Thanks so much!
Jun 3rd at 4:02 pm
I could hug and kiss you lot! How did you know this was one of my all time favourite themes on Blogger? Only problem was, I couldn’t get Windows Live Writer to sync with it, so I am going to try it out now, and if it sync’s okay with your wordpress version, I will be switching to it straight away! I love this grunge look, its fantastic!
Jun 3rd at 4:07 pm
It fits perfectly with my band’s website! Thanks!
Jun 3rd at 4:11 pm
I activated this theme immediately. It’s wonderful.
Jun 3rd at 4:11 pm
Awesome, love this. Let me try
Jun 3rd at 4:14 pm
Amazing!
Jun 3rd at 4:15 pm
OH MY! This is the kind of theme I have been waiting for!!! Thank you SO much!!
Jun 3rd at 4:15 pm
This theme is very unique. I’m certain this is not the theme for me but I hope other bloggers enjoy it!
Thanks!
Jun 3rd at 4:16 pm
Wow, nice job! Having done a lot of graphic design and layout for print over the years, I gotta say this one looks great!
Jun 3rd at 4:17 pm
I’m a girl and I adore this theme! First thing I thought when I saw it was “Call of Duty Nazi Zombies!” Fantastic job, guys. I’ll have to look into switching to this, but I’ll have to be in the right mood…I’m way too fond of my typewriter-keys header.
Thanks so much. You guys rock.
Jun 3rd at 4:17 pm
Woww…. this one is special. It’s just different
Jun 3rd at 4:22 pm
Looove this! Been looking for something a lil’ more me. Off to try it out asap!
Jun 3rd at 4:26 pm
Nice theme! Thanks!
Jun 3rd at 4:26 pm
Wow! Wow! Wow! I really love this one! I think I have my next site template
Jun 3rd at 4:29 pm
Triple great! Thanx sooooooooooo much.
Jun 3rd at 4:29 pm
I love this grubby looking theme! A little in your face it is – kind of back alley and that is awesome. Thanks!
Jun 3rd at 4:31 pm
I’m still tweaking my Enterprise ,,, which I love because of the gray. Now here comes another gray theme. What a feast. I’ll have to check out the features on this one, but at first glance, I love it!
Jun 3rd at 4:35 pm
Super grunge! Thanks…
Jun 3rd at 4:35 pm
It is exactly my type, black, used worn out look. Red drop down menus like a shock.
I am using it already, yay!
Jun 3rd at 4:36 pm
Excellent theme. But pls add Twitter and Facebook contact buttons. If u make it it will be perfect for me. Thanks
Jun 3rd at 4:46 pm
I love it! Thanks!
Jun 3rd at 4:47 pm
That’s a great looking theme. I love the colors and the menus. Job well done.
Jun 3rd at 4:54 pm
I just can’t help myself, Ive got to take this theme out for a spin! I think I need a 12 step program for theme changing. I was just loving the Twenty Ten now I’m off exploring a new Theme. Thank You WordPress!
Jun 3rd at 4:55 pm
Looks good gonna give it a run.
Jun 3rd at 4:55 pm
It has a “Jesse James” feel to it….
Jun 3rd at 5:00 pm
I love it!! It’s not a fit for what I do, but it is very edgy and youthful. Great Job!
Jun 3rd at 5:02 pm
Wow, this is awesome! It definitely wouldn’t fit for my blog, but nonetheless is very cool.
Jun 3rd at 5:12 pm
Amazing theme for a Photo blog! Caught my eye instantly. But for a reading blog like mine, it won’t work
Jun 3rd at 5:16 pm
This is brilliant – I think my students (mostly girls!) will like this one!
Jun 3rd at 5:17 pm
This is fantastic! I’ve been contemplating over the “Mr. Right” in themes for the past few days now… This one might fit the bill… Trying it right away ! Thanks !! I hope the customization ability is to my liking as well
Jun 3rd at 5:19 pm
I love it. It’s not right for my audience, but I love it!
Jun 3rd at 5:20 pm
Umm…wow. This may be the perfect fit for me. I’m gonna try messing with this.
Jun 3rd at 5:22 pm
I like its design except the font of headings.
Jun 3rd at 5:30 pm
What happened to the cherry tree?
Great theme guys. Keep up the good work!
Jun 3rd at 5:32 pm
Love it—agree that it could do with a Twitter button somewhere (maybe with the RSS). That said, I use the Twitter Widget and would rather it was able to be displayed more prominently rather than the footer.
Jun 3rd at 5:34 pm
Very different and unique..
rugged, tough and really steely..
Nice theme yet again
Cheers..!!
Jun 3rd at 5:35 pm
I won’t be switching just yet but I must admit this puts a good spin on grunge! Nice.
Jun 3rd at 5:36 pm
Way cool! Not sure if I can use it but might have to find a way
Jun 3rd at 5:42 pm
Just what I have been waiting for.. Thanks a lot!!
Jun 3rd at 5:46 pm
Really cool and sharp!
Jun 3rd at 5:46 pm
Oh! I have been getting so many themes but none convinced me to change my theme from ChaoticSoul. This one simply rocks! Gives a retro kinda feel and good lucid reading guaranteed…the bubble for comment sections is too good. I have applied it. Thanks a ton.
Jun 3rd at 5:53 pm
Wow! This one’s awesome! Thanks!!!
Jun 3rd at 5:58 pm
WOW! I’m definitely using this!
Jun 3rd at 5:59 pm
This is great! It’s the kind of the theme I’ve been waiting for: a lot more young, and media themed! Good job!
Jun 3rd at 6:02 pm
Different and edgy, some people will go wild for this one! It’s not for me, but I see others having fun with it.
Jun 3rd at 6:04 pm
I love Greyzed! I am using it now. You guys really rock!
Jun 3rd at 6:06 pm
I like its rugged appeal, awesome! Thanks!
Jun 3rd at 6:07 pm
The best of all themes!!!
Jun 3rd at 6:19 pm
Nice change from the norm!
Catering for all.
Jun 3rd at 6:26 pm
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh god i really love it and i just add it it’s totally nice cool fabulous and perfect in few words it’s the them that i need thank you soooooo much
Jun 3rd at 6:30 pm
Beautiful design, though I wish people would start making more designs where users can upload their own graphic headers!
Jun 3rd at 7:22 pm
More themes with custom headers are on the way.
Jun 3rd at 6:31 pm
This is awesome. I’m loving that footer there!! More, more, more, more, more!
Jun 3rd at 6:51 pm
Love this! Exactly what I was looking for… Switched immediately!
Jun 3rd at 6:53 pm
I’ll definitely be considering this theme for my blog
Very nice work.
Jun 3rd at 6:56 pm
Really like this one – after trying several of the recent additions this one seems to be to my liking more and I have updated it.
Love the font style and the overall look of it – great addition.
Jun 3rd at 6:56 pm
This theme looks pretty nice! I love the rocky look of the background, but I don’t think I’ll change to it. It doesn’t look like it’d go well with science and gaming posts.
Jun 3rd at 7:02 pm
This is one bad-ass theme. Again, if I could customize the header — or at least change the color of the header title — it would be perfect… but other than that… everything is awesome.
Jun 3rd at 7:17 pm
Nice looking
Jun 3rd at 7:25 pm
Awesome theme! are you guys going to make some darker themes soon?
Jun 3rd at 7:29 pm
What would be really cool would be if a template like Greyed could take a custom header and somehow make it translucent so the design texture came through the background!
Jun 3rd at 7:30 pm
I love all the new themes! Thank you!
Jun 3rd at 7:40 pm
wonderful
Jun 3rd at 7:42 pm
This theme instantly made me think of my husband’s blog. He’d love this.
Jun 3rd at 7:49 pm
I am up for this kind of theme but since my blog is for professional use, I can’t use it. This theme is different though WP guys always come up with something big. I like it, The best thing is that the theme occupy my 15 inch Laptop screen which is what I like the most.
WP Rocks !!!
Jun 3rd at 7:50 pm
Wow, love it! So much better than the plain ones and it’s really quirky.
Jen…x
Jun 3rd at 7:52 pm
nice! makes me want to start another blog! My college students will love it!
Jun 3rd at 8:05 pm
Whoa. That’s sick.
Jun 3rd at 8:18 pm
“Today’s new theme…”
It’s getting towards daily theme release. I like this look, keep up the good work. Thanks
Jun 3rd at 8:31 pm
This is neat! I am a photographer and I have been searching for a free theme that displays my work nicely but also gives a nice fresh look to it and I haven’t found a theme yet. I like the style of this but it is a bit more masculine that I would like. Any chance you could do something like this but with a bit more feminine edge?
Jun 3rd at 8:37 pm
Spooky, if you ask me.
Jun 3rd at 8:39 pm
Yes! I love grungy themes! It’d be great to see another grunge theme with different color options or a customizable header. Keep the awesome themes rolling in!
Jun 3rd at 8:44 pm
Very cool! Let’s make more like this!
Jun 3rd at 8:46 pm
I really think it is a very cool theme. This theme is suitable for sports blogs especially some fighting sports. Honestly, I will not use this theme because it is not my cup of tea.
Jun 3rd at 8:59 pm
This one is stylish. And I don’t find it too masculine either. Sadly, it’s not fitting with my blog (folktales) at all but this theme is still very awesome. Love the colors and the grittiness.
