New Theme: Mystique
Example of Mystique's single page view.
I think you’ll agree this theme has a certain mystique to it. This fun, colorful theme is flexible enough to fit any type of site — it’s simply loaded with options. A long-time favorite for self-hosted sites designed by digitalnature, Mystique is now available in your WordPress.com dashboard.
What doesn’t this theme do? It offers layout choices of one, two, or three columns, six color schemes, four footer widget areas, and support for four post formats. Not to mention built-in links to your favorite social networks in the header, a unique custom widget with quick-switching tabs, and special treatment for a “featured” post at the top of the site.
Read all about Mystique on the Theme Showcase — I think you’re going to really love this one.

Wow! Great!
April 21st, 2011 at 3:31 pm
This is very cool. A nice Easter present.
April 21st, 2011 at 3:31 pm
Mind blowing! It’s too beautiful.
April 21st, 2011 at 3:35 pm
This is amazing!
April 21st, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Great theme!
April 21st, 2011 at 3:44 pm
Fantastic. Going ahead to preview my blog on this new theme! Happy Easter, Y’all!!!
April 21st, 2011 at 3:49 pm
Wow! That’s very … Mystique
I like it. Too bad, that it won’t fit for my plans. But maybe… I will try it in spite of that.
April 21st, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Mystique looks magnifique!
April 21st, 2011 at 3:53 pm
I love the background, but I might go with a less contrasting shade for the area behind the text.
April 21st, 2011 at 3:57 pm
Oh, that is PRETTY! I love how you can tweak the buttons and links, I’ll give it a try in a few weeks, it looks like a blast!
April 21st, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Yes, this one is cool indeed.
April 21st, 2011 at 4:05 pm
Fun, colorful and flexible! What’s not to like?
(Love those post formats; keep ‘em coming!)
April 21st, 2011 at 4:16 pm
I like the build in links in the header. Nice!
April 21st, 2011 at 4:16 pm
I admire how you guys keep coming up with new and interesting themes! Keep up the good work!
April 21st, 2011 at 4:18 pm
Really nice theme! I might use this…
April 21st, 2011 at 4:20 pm
Love the social tracking buttons at the top.
April 21st, 2011 at 4:28 pm
Woooo, like it. Just changed my blog to this theme to give it a try.
April 21st, 2011 at 4:31 pm
It is cool… clean and simple-looking. Not confusing. Would be a great theme for great writing; would fit seamlessly and awesomely.
April 21st, 2011 at 4:36 pm
Wow, I like it.
April 21st, 2011 at 4:40 pm
Very nice. I like all the options.
This could be the one that finally gets me to change my theme.
Maybe…
April 21st, 2011 at 4:45 pm
I like the more dramatic themes. This might be a candidate to replace my Choco Theme.
April 21st, 2011 at 4:51 pm
I will use it.
April 21st, 2011 at 4:52 pm
Cute! Techno looking rainbows.
April 21st, 2011 at 4:56 pm
Very nice theme… great features! Might try in future.
April 21st, 2011 at 4:57 pm
This theme really looks good. I intend to try it out.
April 21st, 2011 at 4:58 pm
It’s totally hot.
April 21st, 2011 at 5:02 pm
Wow…finally one that I am definitely going to update my 2-yr look with.
Thanks!
April 21st, 2011 at 5:08 pm
Some really nice features in this one! Thanks.
April 21st, 2011 at 5:12 pm
Great look & feel!
April 21st, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Really great! I’ll use it soon!
April 21st, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Nice! I shall have to try it. I love those theme options, and hope to see more customizable themes in the future. I hope it doesn’t do funky things to my pictures like some other themes do. . .
This may be an answer to my never-ending theme search, honestly. I’ve been looking for a good theme for an adventure/thriller science-fiction/fantasy writing blog for a while, and am not entirely happy with what I’m stuck with now.
April 21st, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Great, I will try this.
April 21st, 2011 at 5:26 pm
LOVE this theme!! Thanks for creating such fun, unique themes for us to use!
April 21st, 2011 at 5:26 pm
Very much like the design of this theme…well done.
April 21st, 2011 at 5:32 pm
WOW! This is one amazing theme!
April 21st, 2011 at 5:41 pm
I plan to switch over this weekend. It looks really good, but I’ll have to give a proper test run before I commit to it.
April 21st, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Love the theme, I’m using it now
April 21st, 2011 at 5:51 pm
As Daft Punk would have described it: Technologic.
April 21st, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Wow, I really really like this one!!!
April 21st, 2011 at 6:07 pm
This looks fun! I love all the options and flexibility. I would like to see more elegant themes with a one column layout like Duster for the front page and blog pages. No side bar, but not full width as in 900+ px and not super skinny as in Day Dream. Bottom widgets of course. With the focus on content.
April 21st, 2011 at 6:13 pm
Love it! THIS may finally be the new theme I’ve been looking for! All I really want right now is a theme where I can customize my own 404 error to send people to the home page…
April 21st, 2011 at 6:25 pm
Great theme, I love the social network icons on the top!
April 21st, 2011 at 6:33 pm
I like the background colors mixed with black.
April 21st, 2011 at 6:38 pm
Thank you for offering such a great theme for free.
Almost ideal.
WP is the best!
April 21st, 2011 at 6:39 pm
This is a FANTASTIC theme! Changing mine today!
April 21st, 2011 at 7:11 pm
Excuse me whilst I pick my jaw up from the floor. Time to change the blog theme!
April 21st, 2011 at 7:36 pm
I like it. Thanks.
April 21st, 2011 at 7:47 pm
I must admit to being nervous about changing my blog theme — do readers like change or consistency? But I love this theme and may consider it…
April 21st, 2011 at 8:18 pm
Mystique does a lot of things, but I wish that the dates on the posts showed the year. Example: June 21, 2011 or 06-21-2011 rather than what is shows now: Jun 21st. I use it for my self-hosted site.
April 21st, 2011 at 8:58 pm
Hi Emily, Mystique shows the full date (including the year) on single posts underneath the post as “Posted on” [date]; you can change that format from your dashboard in Settings > General under “Date Format.”
April 21st, 2011 at 8:31 pm
Beautiful. Changing after this post.
April 21st, 2011 at 9:00 pm
The best theme in the world.
April 21st, 2011 at 9:04 pm
Changed to this brilliant theme. Thanks for the excellent work!
April 21st, 2011 at 9:24 pm
I love this.
April 21st, 2011 at 9:51 pm
Great theme!
April 21st, 2011 at 10:14 pm
I have always wanted to use this theme on my WordPress blog! I’m glad that it has finally been added to the collection of available themes to use, what a beauty it is!
April 21st, 2011 at 11:20 pm
It has been a while since I was last that much satisfied with a theme. Finally a great one for a variety of purposes. Custom background and the elegantly placed social media icons do the work. And it seems suitable for an ad website!
April 21st, 2011 at 11:36 pm
Just installed this theme and I adore it! Thank you WordPress! Amazing as usual.
April 21st, 2011 at 11:45 pm
I really like this one!
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:09 am
I’ve used it before on a .org site… and now it’s available for .com users. JUST AMAZING… gracias desde Ciudad de Panamá!
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:09 am
I love it, greetings and thank you very much for this new theme.
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:12 am
Very nice, I like it!! I would use it if Tags were not visible on the front page (I find that aesthetically unpleasant)!
I dont mind seeing tags on the individual post, but I hate seeing them all over the front page.
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:14 am
Looks great! Will check it out, nice work!
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:49 am
Oh, wow, that is pretty snazzy!
April 22nd, 2011 at 1:44 am
Yes! Yes! Yes! Color! Yahoo! Thank you so much for this one!
April 22nd, 2011 at 2:13 am
Yes, thank you much. I love it.
April 22nd, 2011 at 2:22 am
Tested out the single column setting of the theme, look great to showcase photos or as photos blog. The single column / main column setting for this theme is 915 – good to show a 900 x 600 photo! Anyway, I remain stick to Modularity theme, as so far it the only theme that allow to show image size 950 in width!! IMHO – this is the best theme to showcase photography / image, not to compromise the resolution / size of the image.
Still hope there will be a free theme with single/main column with supported width size 1000 or 1100. As today most LCD monitor in width size, thus it shouldn’t be problem for most visitors. It still depend on blog owner – for their preference.
Conclusion – Mystique is a great theme for me… !
April 22nd, 2011 at 2:33 am
Overall, I love it. I just don’t like the blockquote style… too short or something.
April 22nd, 2011 at 3:20 am
Wonderful theme, I love it!
April 22nd, 2011 at 3:22 am
Phenomenal!
April 22nd, 2011 at 3:31 am
I love it. It will be used on at least two of my blogs if not all three.
April 22nd, 2011 at 3:56 am
Wow, fantastic. It is a must-to-be-applied-now theme!
April 22nd, 2011 at 4:04 am
I love the content area that way I don’t have to scroll so much. Love it!
April 22nd, 2011 at 4:17 am
Awesome! Thanks, man!
April 22nd, 2011 at 4:31 am
Fantastic! Thanks! I wonder how the other color schemes look like.
April 22nd, 2011 at 5:05 am
It’s absolutely beautiful! Thanks!
April 22nd, 2011 at 5:11 am
Wow! The most beautiful free Theme on WordPress.com!
I like all the feature it has.
April 22nd, 2011 at 5:44 am
Great theme!
April 22nd, 2011 at 5:48 am
Gorgeous! The theme for me, thank you!
April 22nd, 2011 at 6:24 am
WOW, marvelous! Thank you.
April 22nd, 2011 at 6:34 am
Really nice!
April 22nd, 2011 at 7:00 am
Now THIS one I like. Clean, clear, and concise. Nice addition.
April 22nd, 2011 at 7:00 am
Beautiful! Thanks for adding themes regularly to WordPress!
April 22nd, 2011 at 7:16 am
I think I’m going to shift to this one!
April 22nd, 2011 at 7:50 am
Love this and took no time in adding this theme to my blog.
April 22nd, 2011 at 8:21 am
Great theme, I love the social network icons on the top!
April 22nd, 2011 at 8:32 am
So cool, wow.
April 22nd, 2011 at 8:55 am
WordPress team, you did it again! the only thing i could complain is that i keep changing themes because you keep on introducing better ones!
April 22nd, 2011 at 9:08 am
This is very pretty, a real spring inspired theme with a lot of color schemes. Nice job!
April 22nd, 2011 at 9:36 am
DEFINITELY mystique… it’s ADORABLE. In a beautiful, nice, pleasant way. It’s very easy to suit anyone. Once again, you’re awesome!
April 22nd, 2011 at 11:39 am
I’ve been waiting for a fun, colourful theme like this to pop up!
April 22nd, 2011 at 11:49 am
It’s simply superb and useful, thanks a lot.
April 22nd, 2011 at 11:50 am
I will change back to k2 lite and will stick with it, not because I didn’t like this theme.. but still a big blog style and like to be an underground troll.
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:13 pm
Beautiful one.
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Wow, this is so different from the usual output from the Theme Team! Is it free? Almost looks too good to be true! Haha. Hope you guys keep trying this direction.
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:33 pm
Pretty impressive. A clean but spicy one.
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:37 pm
I love it, shame though on the actual theme, the post text is different and rather hard to read… that’s incredibly off-putting. Or maybe it’s just not so compatible with Chrome. Otherwise, I love it.
April 22nd, 2011 at 1:00 pm
Wow… Really cool!
April 22nd, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Cool graphics–I like the sidebar, especially! That sidebar will be useful to all who use it. It would be so easy to scroll through a blog designed like that.
April 22nd, 2011 at 1:43 pm
This is beautiful.
April 22nd, 2011 at 3:49 pm
This is AWESOME! Finally a good new theme that you don’t have to pay for!
