New Theme: Modularity Lite
Grab your extra-large images and check out today’s new theme, Modularity Lite. If you want a photo blog or portfolio site our one-hundredth theme might be the perfect thing for you. Let’s take a look at it.
The Modularity Lite Theme
If you’re attaching large images (950 pixels by 425 pixels and up) to your posts you can turn on the optional home page slideshow in Appearance → Theme Options. Modularity Lite grabs the first large image attachment from your most recent posts and turns them into a dynamic, full-width slideshow.
Also available from the Theme Options page: a welcome message you can enable on the home page just above the slideshow and a checkbox for making Modularity Lite a full-width, no-sidebar theme.
Modularity Lite Theme Options
We’ve also made sure that Modularity Lite is really customizable. There’s a Custom Header (950 pixels by 200 pixels), Custom Background, and a fully-widgetized footer at the bottom of every page. Check out the Modularity Lite demo and take a closer look.
Designed by Graph Paper Press, Modularity Lite is now available for WordPress.com and, for self-hosted WordPress.org sites, from the WordPress.org Themes Directory.

Congratulations on your 100th theme!
Oh, my! This is so striking! I simply love this theme. Yes, it would be good for a photo blog. I’ve checked the demo and found out that it has a black background. I was wondering, can the theme colour be changed? If it is, is the choice of colours limited to only black and white?
June 25th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
The background image (or color) can be changed from Appearance > Background and, if you consider yourself experienced with CSS, almost everything else can be changed with our Custom CSS upgrade. I hope that helps!

June 25th, 2010 at 7:53 am

Wow you just keep dishing out these themes.
June 25th, 2010 at 10:47 am

The higher picture size availability is awesome
Good work
June 25th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
Now that’s what I was waiting for!!! Thank you guys a million times!
June 25th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Looks good for artists to show their work. Great theme!

I now have a reason to raise my lolblog again – thanks to this theme and WP team!
June 25th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
LOVE IT ! … its simple .. I gonna try it right now
June 25th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
I like the theme, but the color is too dark
June 25th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Need options to change the titles and hyperlinks colours too.
June 25th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
If you consider yourself experienced with CSS that’s something that can be accomplished with our Custom CSS upgrade.
June 25th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
I’m seriously thinking of changing my theme into this. Great. Job.
June 25th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
*applauses* another great theme
June 25th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Great theme for photos! Clean, non-distracting style can keep the photos front and center. Would now like a photo theme with flexible width so my photos don’t have to be downsized so much.
June 25th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
Updated my blog to use Modularity Lite today. Really pleased with it as it was just the think I was looking for earlier in the week.
Top work – thank you.
June 25th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Cool! I like this!
June 25th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
This theme looks so simple, but very sophisticated.. I should try this one.
June 25th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Absolutely LOVE IT!! Exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thanks so much guys. If you’re still considering it, I highly advise it, and you can check out my site to see another example of it in action.
June 25th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
thumbs up ^_^ nice theme
June 25th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Really nice theme. But can we have more girly themes please?
June 25th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
Beautiful…really great! It makes me want to start a photography blog
June 25th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
Aw man! I wish this was out a year and a half ago when I started my WP blog! Pretty cool.
June 25th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Very nice. Time for a new blog perhaps?
June 25th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Iiiiiiiiiiii loooooooooove thiiiiissssssss soooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuuch. Thank you!!!
June 25th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
amazingg… love this theme…
June 25th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
Love it! I’m sure this will be helpful for everyone who’s ever felt frustrated at the way their beautiful images get resized in their current theme
June 25th, 2010 at 11:30 pm
It’s like you read my mind :O So, so installed. Rock on, WordPress themes!
June 26th, 2010 at 12:40 am
I really love this new theme! But I really like the Vigilance theme bc of all the customizing options with the sidebars and link colors an such. I think it would be really cool if all themes had the option to play a slideshow of pictures.
June 26th, 2010 at 1:49 am
So dark, but it’s good
June 26th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
best theme in the world
June 26th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Great stuff!
June 26th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Very nice! I’m trying it out now. I think it works even if you don’t have many pictures to do the slideshow part.
June 26th, 2010 at 5:17 pm
I love it! 100 themes!
Keep good themes coming guys!
June 26th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
Very cool.
Looks kinda gothic in a way. 
June 26th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
WOW! A photobloggers dream come true..worth the wait!! A great theme!
June 26th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
LOVE this theme! Best one yet! Make more like this!!!
June 27th, 2010 at 12:09 am
Elegant! Will have to start a cool new blog then.
June 27th, 2010 at 5:00 am
omg, love the stony, dark background! And slideshow feature should be added optional to all blogs ^^
June 27th, 2010 at 7:24 am
This one is good….would appreciate a theme for design portfolio…with a choice of black or white background. Thanks.
June 27th, 2010 at 11:35 am
This theme is awesome! & more my style thank you…
June 27th, 2010 at 11:55 am
Great, I like big header.

June 28th, 2010 at 1:41 am
Looks like a great theme for photobloggers and artists.
June 28th, 2010 at 4:28 am
More and more, I like slideshow features.
June 28th, 2010 at 5:13 am
One-hundredth?! Really? Well, keep ‘em awesome themes coming!
June 28th, 2010 at 7:31 am
Great theme!! Too bad i just changed mine.
June 28th, 2010 at 8:03 am
Two thumbs up, man.
June 28th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
This is nice!!!
June 29th, 2010 at 1:22 am
Excellent design, I love this one!
June 29th, 2010 at 1:31 am
Love it so much…
June 29th, 2010 at 5:41 am
This is a beautiful, beautiful theme. Thank you to the theme makers at WordPress and certainly to the one who made this one.
June 29th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Well done, man.
June 29th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
I’m already using this theme!
June 29th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
I am using it for my main blog and my photoblog! It is awesome!
June 29th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
Cool theme! I love it.
June 30th, 2010 at 3:41 am
Great! I like it.
June 30th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Nice look! Pages, check! Custom header, check! Sidebar widgets… bummer.
July 1st, 2010 at 5:57 am
To be clear, this theme does allow sidebar widgets. The cool feature is that the entire sidebar is optional, so you can hide it for a single-column layout.
June 30th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Sharp looking theme; I like it!
June 30th, 2010 at 4:41 pm
That’s incredible. Can’t wait to try it.
July 1st, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Well, it’s a nice theme… very nice!
July 1st, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Love new themes! Keep ‘em coming! Especially the customizability. I appreciate being able to arrange things the way that I think they best communicate what I’m trying to do with my site.
July 2nd, 2010 at 6:24 am
This sounds awesome!
July 2nd, 2010 at 10:36 am
I like it! Really cool theme.
July 3rd, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Love the new theme. Thanks Ian!
July 4th, 2010 at 4:38 am
good work, so we can put our photo collections to make a slide show, I liked
July 4th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Wow, i must try to load slideshow in my blog, thanks. I like it
July 5th, 2010 at 2:29 am
Love it. But I guess I’ll stick to what I have for now.
I can’t fix it back if anything goes wrong. 
July 5th, 2010 at 6:45 am
This thing is looking great. Well done.
July 5th, 2010 at 10:40 am
This theme is pretty great! I love the colours and the spacing for the header!
July 5th, 2010 at 10:47 am
Wow, congratulations on 100th! Love this, it’s fresh and just hits the reader in the face.
July 5th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
Cool theme, looks like it would be great to showcase photo content.
July 5th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
The theme is very beautiful.
July 5th, 2010 at 4:24 pm
Love the color distribution of the profile. Awesome work!
July 5th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Very similar to the one I am using now… Mine is pretty new so I have a lot to explore. But they sure look good.
July 6th, 2010 at 10:46 am
Nice theme!
July 6th, 2010 at 10:54 am
I tried it and it’s very nice; I like this theme. Thank you for your hard work to make this theme. Have a nice day.
July 6th, 2010 at 11:56 am
Oooh nice!! You have got to stop making so many great themes. I don’t want to change my current one but the ones like this are so tempting. Great job
July 6th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Quite nice-looking.
July 7th, 2010 at 2:34 am
I LOVE it… keep up the great work.
July 7th, 2010 at 3:41 am
Kudos. This new theme is amazing.
July 7th, 2010 at 11:18 am
WOW… Great!
July 7th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Good job, I like the pictures. I need to learn how to do that, lol.
July 8th, 2010 at 2:10 am
A lovely theme. Congrats on another fine choice!
July 8th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
I like it. But I would love WordPress even more if you could put the Traction theme
.
July 9th, 2010 at 3:20 am
Great suggestion—in fact, it’s already on our list.
