New Theme: Fadtastic

Right on Matt’s tail, I have a theme I’d like to introduce to you all. I told myself that the next theme you’d see me release would either have 3-columnes or be fluid, and you happen to get both with Fadtastic.

Fadtastic

As you can see, it’s a pretty bright theme which supports two widgtized sidebars. Oh, and this one is also pretty green, just not as green as the last one.

    Good work! But I realised the words go out of alignment after “blockquote”. Also prefer something which gives a full post or at least an intro section for subsequent entries instead of just the title.

    Nice. It is bright, however I don’t know if I like the cut off of a blog entry and only the header displays for the past few posts. Anyway that some customization like that could come into it?

    Looks cool. 😉 It’s fantastic. Users will have more designs to choose from in WordPress.com and, rest assured, it will make your blog feel good-lookin’. So keep it up, Mr. B!

    I’ll change the whole “excerpt as the first entry” to a full post for the first entry. And I’ll check that blockquote problem out as well.

    Come on you guys, your efforts are appreciated, but can’t ya’ll make something fun and sexy, or dark and luscious…or brooding and mysterious, or maybe something in fun shades like bright reds and pinks?

    Why don’t you create one called Electra, inspired by Carmen? lol

    Thanks again.

    Gee, a new green and blue theme. That will provide a great alternative to the existing blue, green, black, gray and occasional-maroon-or-orange-accent themes. Somebody needs to get you guys a color wheel and cover the “cool” part of it with masking tape.

    ‘Tis a pleasant theme that’s easy on the eyes, as always. However, I’m with Stiletto Girl on this one. I wouldn’t mind trying out a three-column theme, but the main reason I’m sticking with the “Neat” theme is because it’s dark. Put those two things together, and I think I’d give it a whirl.

    Ahhh… another huge problems for this theme design.

    3. The front page only has 1 post on it. This is quite attractive actually.

    4. So then people are forced into one of the post. This is the big problem. When viewing an individual post like this
    http://achristian.wordpress.com/2006/12/07/the-facets-and-shades-and-colors-of-people/
    there is no way to view or even RECENT POSTS or RELATED POSTS.

    Therefore every individual post page is a dead end. The visitor leaves.

    This theme is visually attractive but it falls down – seriously – in it’s functionality and usefulness.

    But WP rocks on!! I’m keeping the faith!! (In spite of someone disabling my login).

    Cheers,
    Mark.

    Excellent theme! From now on my default! I would like to ask 2 things:
    – if possible, more full text articles on front page (than just 1)
    – if possible, the comment form AFTER the comments. Someone always first reads an article, then reads the comments, and then he may comment the article (using the form). I think it would be better if Comments are JUST BELOW article and the comment form AFTER the comments.

    Thanks again guys for the time you spent making our life easier more wonderful!
