New Theme: Choco
Say hello to our newest theme, Choco. If I had to sum this theme up in just one word, it’d be stylish.
With dark colors and stitched borders Choco will give your site a classy, contemporary feel. It is well-suited for any site but works especially well for journal-style blogs: the traditional two-column layout with a right sidebar frames your stories in familiar—yet beautiful—style.
Choco is chock-full of style.
Choose from three color schemes and further customize the look with your own background, menu, and sidebar widgets. Learn more about Choco on the Theme Showcase.
Designed by CSSMayo, Choco is now available for WordPress.com, and for self-hosted WordPress.org sites, from the WordPress.org Themes Directory.

Awesome, I want to try it.
Feb 25th at 5:39 pm
Sweet! This theme’s as sweet as chocolate (ha.) Will test it out.
Feb 25th at 5:39 pm
Choco!
Great theme.
Feb 25th at 5:41 pm
Very nice! In particular the “stitched” border and the various colour schemes. Next time I update the blog I’ll be sure to use this.
Feb 25th at 5:44 pm
I love this theme, awesome!
Feb 25th at 5:47 pm
Awesome, going to give it a try.
Feb 25th at 5:48 pm
Really awesome theme…I like it.
Feb 25th at 5:49 pm
This might be my new theme!!! Thank you for a tasteful yet darker color scheme theme!!!
Feb 25th at 5:49 pm
Very slick. I can’t say that I’d use it though. Its beautiful to look at, but maybe not my style.
Nevertheless, great work!
Feb 25th at 5:50 pm
Looks great and has the right extras!
Feb 25th at 5:55 pm
Awesome! I may try this theme… love the chocolate color of it.
Feb 25th at 5:56 pm
Looks great – seems to have just about everything I wanted!
Feb 25th at 5:58 pm
I like the simplicity. Well done!
Feb 25th at 6:04 pm
I love the color and the simple lines and design.
Feb 25th at 6:04 pm
Woo hoo! Keep those dark themes coming!
Feb 25th at 6:06 pm
Oooooo! I like it! I made the switchover already on one of my blogs! You guys are really hitting it out of the park with these latest updates.
Feb 25th at 6:08 pm
Already tried it, and it FITS perfectly for my blog.
. Thanks for CSS Mayo who has been workin’ very hard at this theme. Bravo!
Feb 25th at 6:08 pm
Full of style indeed. Nice work!
Feb 25th at 6:12 pm
The stitching has a lovely look. Manly yes, but I like it too!
Feb 25th at 6:13 pm
I absolutely LOVE this! I would switch to it, but when I put in my custom background, I can’t see the page links at the top unless I hover over them
Very beautiful theme.
Feb 25th at 6:54 pm
This theme works best with a dark-colored custom background, a lighter one won’t work as well.
Feb 25th at 6:14 pm
Really cute design! I love the journal feel to it.
Feb 25th at 6:22 pm
Well done, I want to try this theme.
Feb 25th at 6:24 pm
I think people in Hannover, Germany will like choco[late] too!
Feb 25th at 6:43 pm
Great theme.
Feb 25th at 6:47 pm
Looks cool, like a notebook. I like!
Feb 25th at 6:49 pm
Beautiful. Not my favorite color schemes (blue), but I still love it.
Feb 25th at 6:57 pm
Really nice theme! Love the simplicity & the colors!
Feb 25th at 6:59 pm
I’ve been waiting for this theme on wordpress.com for so long.
Feb 25th at 7:10 pm
Very nice, in particular the content area, which pops very cleanly, crisply.
Feb 25th at 7:13 pm
I love the artistic expression of the theme, but you know I love three columns. This is really nice and xnicc was right, it has a great journal feel.
Feb 25th at 7:42 pm
Looks great! Very classy and appealing.
Feb 25th at 7:55 pm
I just like the name.
But I’ll have to check out the color scheme. I’m still not happy with my layout but nothing else seems to ‘click’ either…
Feb 25th at 8:01 pm
Looks delicious, nice.
Feb 25th at 8:15 pm
Nice! But I’m happy with the one I have.
Feb 25th at 8:16 pm
Meh, seems sticky.
Feb 25th at 8:35 pm
We’re hoping this one does stick with quite a few WP.com sites. Might not be a great one for a weather blog, though, eh?
Feb 25th at 8:16 pm
Very nice style, awesome colors.
Feb 25th at 8:18 pm
My goodness, it’s beautiful! Probably one of the best in a while. Thank you!
Feb 25th at 8:24 pm
Pretty sweet design, I’ve already switched one of my blogs over to it! I’d give it a full five stars if it had a custom header option.
Feb 25th at 8:36 pm
We looked at adding a Custom Header (it doesn’t have that option in the WP.org version) but decided it wasn’t a great fit for this theme.
Feb 25th at 8:28 pm
Oooh… dark and brooding. Just like my mood of late.
Feb 25th at 8:29 pm
I have a feeling I may have a new theme shortly!
Feb 25th at 8:49 pm
Should be called “Choco & Leather”!
Feb 25th at 8:50 pm
Very attractive and different, which I think will appeal to many. The light writing area with dark background works well. Thanks to all the new themes, I’ve changed my theme so many times in the last months that my readers will think I’m nuts if I change again. I’m quite happy with Duster for now.
Feb 25th at 8:51 pm
Thanks. I’m going to activate this one.
Feb 25th at 9:04 pm
This would be so perfect for me if it had a custom header option!
Feb 25th at 9:14 pm
Hi! Being a chocoholic, myself, this was an offer I could not refuse! It’s now my WordPress theme. Thanks for letting us know about this new option.
Feb 25th at 9:16 pm
Perfect …just what I was looking for! Thank you!
Feb 25th at 9:21 pm
I can definitely see how this theme would benefit some users. Looks good!
Feb 25th at 9:35 pm
Lame, just like Ubuntu. Its hard to get excited about brown.
Feb 25th at 10:03 pm
I’m trying it. I’m liking it. Subtle, yet cool.
Feb 25th at 10:15 pm
Great theme.
Feb 25th at 10:18 pm
Nice. Aside from the skeleton, it looks delicious.
Feb 25th at 10:28 pm
Awesome new theme. Changed my personal blog from Notepad to this and it fits like a glove. It’s a keeper for a long time.
Feb 25th at 10:31 pm
It does look classy. Could be chocolatier.
Feb 25th at 10:33 pm
Wow… It looks like delicious. Hmm.
Feb 25th at 10:36 pm
Oh, I just changed my theme to Duster. Now I want this one, but my readers will think I’m fickle if I change again. Choices, choices….
Feb 25th at 11:05 pm
Gorgeous theme! It’s not too masculine or feminine, and it’s nice and clean.
Definitely considering it for my blog.
Feb 25th at 11:19 pm
Great work! Nice theme!
Feb 25th at 11:36 pm
Oh! Man it is amazing. Love the stitched borders, tags, dark grey scheme.
Feb 25th at 11:38 pm
I really like it. Not sure if it was work for my blog though- I have used a dark one in the past but it messed up the pages.
Feb 25th at 11:45 pm
Great theme!
Feb 25th at 11:54 pm
Gorgeous theme. I’d be even happier if there was a blue and black (or blue and dark grey) colour scheme option.
Feb 26th at 12:11 am
This very nice, you needed some chocolate.
Feb 26th at 12:26 am
That’s a nice looking theme. I’m sure it will be very popular.
Feb 26th at 12:31 am
Lovely theme, thank you!
Feb 26th at 12:53 am
Looks “yummy”
But I’ll stick to my current one.
Feb 26th at 12:58 am
Very nice! Will definitely try it out.
Feb 26th at 1:32 am
Makes me crave for chocolate. I like how it’s so elegant and plain.
Feb 26th at 1:40 am
This is certainly one of the best themes of seen in awhile! (and it is quite difficult to best many of it’s predecessors). I may just have to try it out sometime.
Feb 26th at 1:49 am
Looks nice.
Feb 26th at 2:07 am
Good work and great theme. But I can’t use this because I love Twenty Ten… and it is not suitable for a science blog. Well, I should give a try—to check out its features.
Feb 26th at 2:20 am
Wow, that’s beautiful.
I must try it right away. Thank you for this nice theme.
Feb 26th at 2:57 am
I like chocolate. Hope WordPress can bring another 3 column theme like I use now.
Feb 26th at 3:08 am
I might consider it. Brown is one color that never goes out of style, and both genders seem to like it. Even though it is not as exciting as grey and blue or whatever, I find that some people have a hard time reading anything on that color of a background. Keep up the great work with journalism themes…that’s the kind I like!
Feb 26th at 3:14 am
I love it so much, thank you.

Feb 26th at 3:52 am
Love the new theme! I’ve made the switch.
Feb 26th at 5:25 am
Very nice! But still love my Twenty Ten!
Feb 26th at 6:22 am
Mmm chocolate! Good work.
Feb 26th at 6:49 am
Thanks. It’s awesome..
Feb 26th at 7:59 am
Very nice. So many themes so little time.
Feb 26th at 9:12 am
I love the theme, I added the Choco theme to one of my blogs and I love it!
Feb 26th at 10:45 am
Wow it’s a great theme, I love it. Thanks bro Lance Willett, let’s rock, man.
Feb 26th at 10:47 am
Love this theme, almost as delicious as it sounds (see what I did there? Huh? Huh? Lol)! I’d love it and would like to eat it (use it) more if it had 2 sidebars. Thanks for the great theme though! Keep up the good work.
Feb 26th at 10:48 am
I love chocolate and this theme looks very impressing to me.
Feb 26th at 12:25 pm
Very nice, won’t be using it though, won’t go with my blog theme.
Feb 26th at 12:38 pm
Very nice. This is great for my book review blog.
Feb 26th at 12:38 pm
Very yummy theme.
Feb 26th at 12:53 pm
This actually looks kinda cool, looking dark but sophisticated, it’s what I’m going for in my blog.
Feb 26th at 12:57 pm
Lovin’ the look of this new theme – I wish you offered it in more colors though!
Feb 26th at 1:02 pm
A little dark… I like it though.
Feb 26th at 1:29 pm
I’m gonna try it out, see how it looks.
Feb 26th at 1:40 pm
P-E-R-F-E-C-T.
Feb 26th at 1:43 pm
Love it!
Feb 26th at 1:55 pm
Nice! I like the color. It would really have to match a certain theme if you wanted it for your blog though….but pretty good design.
Feb 26th at 1:55 pm
Nice. I’d love to see it in pink with lots of love in it.
Feb 26th at 2:15 pm
Gorgeous! I’m about to try this. Thanks WP.
Feb 26th at 2:42 pm
I really like this! Will try it out when I need a new look for my blog! Thanks.
Feb 26th at 2:59 pm
Interesting looking theme. Will have to check out what it looks like in other colors.
Feb 26th at 3:12 pm
“Stylish” sums this one up perfectly. Nicely done. *Goes to preview it on her new blog*
