New Theme: Spectrum

I’m happy to introduce Spectrum, a fine new addition to our ever-growing collection of themes. Spectrum comes as a colorful and fresh theme sporting a clean layout with one main column and a sidebar on the right. It supports custom menus, background, and header image, so you could configure the look to your liking.

Example of Spectrum's look and feel.

The subtle transparency on the main body is built into the theme so you can put your own background color and image under Appearance → Background and still enjoy the smooth look given by the transparency. Here is an example of how you could change and customize the theme’s default look.

Showcasing customization with drop-down menus, background, and header.

When it comes to showing your images Spectrum hides its sidebar and uses a full-width layout for maximum space so you don’t have to worry about your images looking too small. There is also an option for showing a special colored tag cloud on the theme footer if you feel like it.

Personalize your fonts with Typekit, already supported on the theme stylesheet.

Designed by Ignacio Ricci Spectrum is now available for WordPress.com and, for self-hosted WordPress.org sites, from the WordPress.org Themes Directory.

You could see Spectrum in action if you visit spectrumdemo.wordpress.com.

Quick Specs (all measurements in pixels):

1. Main column width is 540, sidebar width is 270.
2. Full width: 878.
3. Custom header image dimensions are 938 by 150 (width, height).
