New Theme: 2813

We’ve got a new theme for you, it’s a three-column very clean and minimalistic theme with full widget support. The two sidebars are on the right side and they’re pretty plain by default but once you get the widget action going it looks pretty sweet. This theme was developed jointly by Eli Foner, Paul Stamatiou, and Neil Patel.

Here’s a preview:

    Great theme!!! I like this theme much more than your previous one “Fadtastic”, which I’ve just made my current theme.

    Now, I’m going to update my blog. It was a bit difficult to find it among Available Themes, since I was looking for theme “2813”, not “Twenty-eight Thirteen”.

    Or should I wait for a bit? I wonder if the next one will be much better?

    That is a great looking 3-column. However, I sure wish you guys would try one with sidebars on the left and right instead of both on the right. That and a customizable graphic Banner and you would have my dream theme. 🙂

    That’s a really nice look.

    I spent a lot of time today umming and ahhhing over whether to convert to a 3 pane look. In the end I decided to keep my blog in the standard 2 pane mode because I think it appears even ‘cleaner’ and gives more real estate to the main posts … but thanks for increasing the choice, I’m sure a lot of people will jump on it!

    As is said above, I think this theme (while pretty spectacular) could be even more valuable if it offered a few user-managed options such as:

    a customizable header
    the ability to align the sidebar to the left, or to have the sidebar straddle the blog.

    It’s a wonderful theme as it is, but I wouldn’t switch to it unless I had these options.

    Good to have choices. Thanks. The theme is too white though. Not everyone would like it. Sort of makes the page look untidy. However, it’s another theme with two sidebars and I am happy that now there are several. I am still a fan of the Andreas theme though. Both the Andreas themes are great.
    Looking forward to more.

    I wish to complain that nobody ever cuts me a new 0-column theme, no matter how many times I ask (I’ll start asking again, one of these days). I suppose I have to do that myself, don’t I? 🙂 I want to be seriously minimalist, and not just minimal-minimalist. What kind of animal do you want me to become? (please continue if you think of another pun, sound-alike, etc) and I’ll play with the theme as-is, to see if I might somehow twist it ways that “they” did not intend (okay, I mean you who have created and provided the new theme, each time). Otherwise, I’d call it “done” and “perfect” and that kind of thing. Thanks for not implementing all these suggestions ahead of time. Then we couldn’t comment at all, could we?

I like now having links highlight when hovering, makes the links stand out more. Unlike other folks here, I could care less about custom header…

    Hi … i’ve got two questions regarding this theme!

    – one is an “enhancement” request … or if it’s possible to have the main content coloumn width to be more (or equal) of 500px

    – one is if it’s possible to have the code tweaking you did for having ALL the posts categories in the main coloumn (sinche the 2813 one works on a single “main” category content)

    Thanks In Advance!
