New Theme: Rusty Grunge
It is time to introduce a new free theme which goes by the appropriately evocative name of Rusty Grunge. It goes without saying, this theme has all the rusty and grungy elements needed to appeal to all those who embrace grunginess in themes. It has a light content area over a dark background, and some color splashes around on its design.
The theme comes equipped with options for Custom Background, Menus, Post Formats, and Header Image. It also bears two distinct widget areas, making this theme not only grungy but also highly customizable.
As usual, find more about what it has to offer on the Theme Showcase.
Designed by Chris Wallace, Rusty Grunge is also available for self-hosted WordPress.org sites via the WordPress.org Themes Directory.

Nevermind about what I said, I used it and I love it. It’s so customizable and the colors bring life to the blog as well as allowing it to look awesome.

Nice… I like this.

I’m very tempted to change to this theme – it’s just not quite dark enough for my blog though.

I’m not a fan of how a header image fits into it. I’d like it more if it could be placed on top of the red at the top, which would then obviously be lengthened.

It’s not only simple but also cool.

Thanks so much!

it’s wonderful. I like it most

I can dig it. Even nicer, it’s customizable.

Is there a way to change the color of the text below the header? “Home”, “About”, “Contact”… with a light background they completely disappear.

Not currently, unless you go for the Custom CSS Upgrade.

Are there any three colums themes coming up in the future?
Mar 31st at 8:53 pm
I really like it.

I love grungy themes and I adore the red spectrum so when I saw ‘Rusty Grunge’ I was practically salivating. But the only rusty grunge part of this theme is the header area. Sigh!

I love it…
I wish I can make my own theme, love your creativity and passion on this! Keep moving on!
Apr 2nd at 12:11 am
Ooh, I like!! Thanks so much.

I think this is nice. The rust effect I meant but i think I would like to see more reds in it.

I love this theme so pretty! I’ve always liked the whole rustic look.
Apr 2nd at 8:37 pm
Ah, I love it, but too bad, I can’t change my theme now, spend to much time editing the header.
Apr 3rd at 4:01 am
Boring! Nothing rusty or grungy about it. I wish you guys would make feminine themes.
Apr 3rd at 10:52 am
Cool, but why is the header red?
Apr 4th at 9:11 am
Looks great! like the name as well
Apr 5th at 6:13 am
What a beautiful creativity. Just keep going, bro…
Any way, I need theme for my shopping online. Anybody can help me…?
Apr 5th at 9:59 am
It’s very good.
Apr 5th at 11:15 am
Wow,, that’s a great theme.
Simple but elegant.

What a nice theme you got there! The touch of grungy in the ragged like yet neat customization is just another perfect combination for the one who looking for grunginess.
Simple yet attractive, but the problem is, it’s just like the other thousands of simple yet attractive themes. But still, you did a great job for emphasizing the scruffy aspect on this theme. The neatness around the ragged aspect is perfect! Nice for the eyes!

This is an awesome theme!
Apr 6th at 11:05 pm
Awesome! I will try this one for my blog!
