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!
Apr 21st at 3:31 pm
This is very cool. A nice Easter present.
Apr 21st at 3:31 pm
Mind blowing! It’s too beautiful.
Apr 21st at 3:35 pm
This is amazing!
Apr 21st at 3:38 pm
Great theme!
Apr 21st at 3:44 pm
Fantastic. Going ahead to preview my blog on this new theme! Happy Easter, Y’all!!!
Apr 21st 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.
Apr 21st at 3:52 pm
Mystique looks magnifique!
Apr 21st at 3:53 pm
I love the background, but I might go with a less contrasting shade for the area behind the text.
Apr 21st 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!
Apr 21st at 3:58 pm
Yes, this one is cool indeed.
Apr 21st at 4:05 pm
Fun, colorful and flexible! What’s not to like?
(Love those post formats; keep ‘em coming!)
Apr 21st at 4:16 pm
I like the build in links in the header. Nice!
Apr 21st at 4:16 pm
I admire how you guys keep coming up with new and interesting themes! Keep up the good work!
Apr 21st at 4:18 pm
Really nice theme! I might use this…
Apr 21st at 4:20 pm
Love the social tracking buttons at the top.
Apr 21st at 4:28 pm
Woooo, like it. Just changed my blog to this theme to give it a try.
Apr 21st 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.
Apr 21st at 4:36 pm
Wow, I like it.
Apr 21st 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…
Apr 21st at 4:45 pm
I like the more dramatic themes. This might be a candidate to replace my Choco Theme.
Apr 21st at 4:51 pm
I will use it.
Apr 21st at 4:52 pm
Cute! Techno looking rainbows.
Apr 21st at 4:56 pm
Very nice theme… great features! Might try in future.
Apr 21st at 4:57 pm
This theme really looks good. I intend to try it out.
Apr 21st at 4:58 pm
It’s totally hot.
Apr 21st at 5:02 pm
Wow…finally one that I am definitely going to update my 2-yr look with.
Thanks!
Apr 21st at 5:08 pm
Some really nice features in this one! Thanks.
Apr 21st at 5:12 pm
Great look & feel!
Apr 21st at 5:13 pm
Really great! I’ll use it soon!
Apr 21st 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.
Apr 21st at 5:25 pm
Great, I will try this.
Apr 21st at 5:26 pm
LOVE this theme!! Thanks for creating such fun, unique themes for us to use!
Apr 21st at 5:26 pm
Very much like the design of this theme…well done.
Apr 21st at 5:32 pm
WOW! This is one amazing theme!
Apr 21st 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.
Apr 21st at 5:49 pm
Love the theme, I’m using it now
Apr 21st at 5:51 pm
As Daft Punk would have described it: Technologic.
Apr 21st at 6:06 pm
Wow, I really really like this one!!!
Apr 21st 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.
Apr 21st 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…
Apr 21st at 6:25 pm
Great theme, I love the social network icons on the top!
Apr 21st at 6:33 pm
I like the background colors mixed with black.
Apr 21st at 6:38 pm
Thank you for offering such a great theme for free.
Almost ideal.
WP is the best!
Apr 21st at 6:39 pm
This is a FANTASTIC theme! Changing mine today!
Apr 21st at 7:11 pm
Excuse me whilst I pick my jaw up from the floor. Time to change the blog theme!
Apr 21st at 7:36 pm
I like it. Thanks.
Apr 21st 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…
Apr 21st 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.
Apr 21st 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.”
Apr 21st at 8:31 pm
Beautiful. Changing after this post.
Apr 21st at 9:00 pm
The best theme in the world.
Apr 21st at 9:04 pm
Changed to this brilliant theme. Thanks for the excellent work!
Apr 21st at 9:24 pm
I love this.
Apr 21st at 9:51 pm
Great theme!
Apr 21st 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!
Apr 21st 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!
Apr 21st at 11:36 pm
Just installed this theme and I adore it! Thank you WordPress! Amazing as usual.
Apr 21st at 11:45 pm
I really like this one!
Apr 22nd 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!
Apr 22nd at 12:09 am
I love it, greetings and thank you very much for this new theme.
Apr 22nd 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.
Apr 22nd at 12:14 am
Looks great! Will check it out, nice work!
Apr 22nd at 12:49 am
Oh, wow, that is pretty snazzy!
Apr 22nd at 1:44 am
Yes! Yes! Yes! Color! Yahoo! Thank you so much for this one!
Apr 22nd at 2:13 am
Yes, thank you much. I love it.
Apr 22nd 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… !
Apr 22nd at 2:33 am
Overall, I love it. I just don’t like the blockquote style… too short or something.
Apr 22nd at 3:20 am
Wonderful theme, I love it!
Apr 22nd at 3:22 am
Phenomenal!
Apr 22nd at 3:31 am
I love it. It will be used on at least two of my blogs if not all three.
Apr 22nd at 3:56 am
Wow, fantastic. It is a must-to-be-applied-now theme!
Apr 22nd at 4:04 am
I love the content area that way I don’t have to scroll so much. Love it!
Apr 22nd at 4:17 am
Awesome! Thanks, man!
Apr 22nd at 4:31 am
Fantastic! Thanks! I wonder how the other color schemes look like.
Apr 22nd at 5:05 am
It’s absolutely beautiful! Thanks!
Apr 22nd at 5:11 am
Wow! The most beautiful free Theme on WordPress.com!
I like all the feature it has.
Apr 22nd at 5:44 am
Great theme!
Apr 22nd at 5:48 am
Gorgeous! The theme for me, thank you!
Apr 22nd at 6:24 am
WOW, marvelous! Thank you.
Apr 22nd at 6:34 am
Really nice!
Apr 22nd at 7:00 am
Now THIS one I like. Clean, clear, and concise. Nice addition.
Apr 22nd at 7:00 am
Beautiful! Thanks for adding themes regularly to WordPress!
Apr 22nd at 7:16 am
I think I’m going to shift to this one!
Apr 22nd at 7:50 am
Love this and took no time in adding this theme to my blog.
Apr 22nd at 8:21 am
Great theme, I love the social network icons on the top!
Apr 22nd at 8:32 am
So cool, wow.
Apr 22nd 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!
Apr 22nd at 9:08 am
This is very pretty, a real spring inspired theme with a lot of color schemes. Nice job!
Apr 22nd 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!
Apr 22nd at 11:39 am
I’ve been waiting for a fun, colourful theme like this to pop up!
Apr 22nd at 11:49 am
It’s simply superb and useful, thanks a lot.
Apr 22nd 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.
Apr 22nd at 12:13 pm
Beautiful one.
Apr 22nd 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.
Apr 22nd at 12:33 pm
Pretty impressive. A clean but spicy one.
Apr 22nd 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.
Apr 22nd at 1:00 pm
Wow… Really cool!
Apr 22nd 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.
Apr 22nd at 1:43 pm
This is beautiful.
Apr 22nd at 3:49 pm
This is AWESOME! Finally a good new theme that you don’t have to pay for!
