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.
February 25th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Sweet! This theme’s as sweet as chocolate (ha.) Will test it out.
February 25th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Choco!
Great theme.
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
I love this theme, awesome!
February 25th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
Awesome, going to give it a try.
February 25th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
Really awesome theme…I like it.
February 25th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
This might be my new theme!!! Thank you for a tasteful yet darker color scheme theme!!!
February 25th, 2011 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!
February 25th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
Looks great and has the right extras!
February 25th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
Awesome! I may try this theme… love the chocolate color of it.
February 25th, 2011 at 5:56 pm
Looks great – seems to have just about everything I wanted!
February 25th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
I like the simplicity. Well done!
February 25th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
I love the color and the simple lines and design.
February 25th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Woo hoo! Keep those dark themes coming!
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 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!
February 25th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
Full of style indeed. Nice work!
February 25th, 2011 at 6:12 pm
The stitching has a lovely look. Manly yes, but I like it too!
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
This theme works best with a dark-colored custom background, a lighter one won’t work as well.
February 25th, 2011 at 6:14 pm
Really cute design! I love the journal feel to it.
February 25th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Well done, I want to try this theme.
February 25th, 2011 at 6:24 pm
I think people in Hannover, Germany will like choco[late] too!
February 25th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
Great theme.
February 25th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
Looks cool, like a notebook. I like!
February 25th, 2011 at 6:49 pm
Beautiful. Not my favorite color schemes (blue), but I still love it.
February 25th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
Really nice theme! Love the simplicity & the colors!
February 25th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
I’ve been waiting for this theme on wordpress.com for so long.
February 25th, 2011 at 7:10 pm
Very nice, in particular the content area, which pops very cleanly, crisply.
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
Looks great! Very classy and appealing.
February 25th, 2011 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…
February 25th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
Looks delicious, nice.
February 25th, 2011 at 8:15 pm
Nice! But I’m happy with the one I have.
February 25th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
Meh, seems sticky.
February 25th, 2011 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?
February 25th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
Very nice style, awesome colors.
February 25th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
My goodness, it’s beautiful! Probably one of the best in a while. Thank you!
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
Oooh… dark and brooding. Just like my mood of late.
February 25th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
I have a feeling I may have a new theme shortly!
February 25th, 2011 at 8:49 pm
Should be called “Choco & Leather”!
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 at 8:51 pm
Thanks. I’m going to activate this one.
February 25th, 2011 at 9:04 pm
This would be so perfect for me if it had a custom header option!
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 at 9:16 pm
Perfect …just what I was looking for! Thank you!
February 25th, 2011 at 9:21 pm
I can definitely see how this theme would benefit some users. Looks good!
February 25th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
Lame, just like Ubuntu. Its hard to get excited about brown.
February 25th, 2011 at 10:03 pm
I’m trying it. I’m liking it. Subtle, yet cool.
February 25th, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Great theme.
February 25th, 2011 at 10:18 pm
Nice. Aside from the skeleton, it looks delicious.
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 at 10:31 pm
It does look classy. Could be chocolatier.
February 25th, 2011 at 10:33 pm
Wow… It looks like delicious. Hmm.
February 25th, 2011 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….
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 at 11:19 pm
Great work! Nice theme!
February 25th, 2011 at 11:36 pm
Oh! Man it is amazing. Love the stitched borders, tags, dark grey scheme.
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 25th, 2011 at 11:45 pm
Great theme!
February 25th, 2011 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.
February 26th, 2011 at 12:11 am
This very nice, you needed some chocolate.
February 26th, 2011 at 12:26 am
That’s a nice looking theme. I’m sure it will be very popular.
February 26th, 2011 at 12:31 am
Lovely theme, thank you!
February 26th, 2011 at 12:53 am
Looks “yummy”
But I’ll stick to my current one.
February 26th, 2011 at 12:58 am
Very nice! Will definitely try it out.
February 26th, 2011 at 1:32 am
Makes me crave for chocolate. I like how it’s so elegant and plain.
February 26th, 2011 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.
February 26th, 2011 at 1:49 am
Looks nice.
February 26th, 2011 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.
February 26th, 2011 at 2:20 am
Wow, that’s beautiful.
I must try it right away. Thank you for this nice theme.
February 26th, 2011 at 2:57 am
I like chocolate. Hope WordPress can bring another 3 column theme like I use now.
February 26th, 2011 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!
February 26th, 2011 at 3:14 am
I love it so much, thank you.

February 26th, 2011 at 3:52 am
Love the new theme! I’ve made the switch.
February 26th, 2011 at 5:25 am
Very nice! But still love my Twenty Ten!
February 26th, 2011 at 6:22 am
Mmm chocolate! Good work.
February 26th, 2011 at 6:49 am
Thanks. It’s awesome..
February 26th, 2011 at 7:59 am
Very nice. So many themes so little time.
February 26th, 2011 at 9:12 am
I love the theme, I added the Choco theme to one of my blogs and I love it!
February 26th, 2011 at 10:45 am
Wow it’s a great theme, I love it. Thanks bro Lance Willett, let’s rock, man.
February 26th, 2011 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.
February 26th, 2011 at 10:48 am
I love chocolate and this theme looks very impressing to me.
February 26th, 2011 at 12:25 pm
Very nice, won’t be using it though, won’t go with my blog theme.
February 26th, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Very nice. This is great for my book review blog.
February 26th, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Very yummy theme.
February 26th, 2011 at 12:53 pm
This actually looks kinda cool, looking dark but sophisticated, it’s what I’m going for in my blog.
February 26th, 2011 at 12:57 pm
Lovin’ the look of this new theme – I wish you offered it in more colors though!
February 26th, 2011 at 1:02 pm
A little dark… I like it though.
February 26th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
I’m gonna try it out, see how it looks.
February 26th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
P-E-R-F-E-C-T.
February 26th, 2011 at 1:43 pm
Love it!
February 26th, 2011 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.
February 26th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Nice. I’d love to see it in pink with lots of love in it.
February 26th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Gorgeous! I’m about to try this. Thanks WP.
February 26th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
I really like this! Will try it out when I need a new look for my blog! Thanks.
February 26th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Interesting looking theme. Will have to check out what it looks like in other colors.
February 26th, 2011 at 3:12 pm
“Stylish” sums this one up perfectly. Nicely done. *Goes to preview it on her new blog*
