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.
Ooooooo! That is so pretty! Good job again guys! (I feel like I’m repeating myself so much on these things, but I really have loved all the latest designs.)

Hmmm… I’m not too sure with the colour palette used in the example though. Together, black, olive and plum red plus bright white header become a brassy bunch, no?

After a year with Bueno theme, I pulled the trigger and made the change to this brand new Mystique theme this Easter weekend.
Mystique has a clean look, it’s simple to navigate and is very “easy on the eyes”.

You guys should do like a Harry Potter theme, like gold and red. Sorry just a Harry Potter fan here, oooh and make them house colours. Green and silver, red and gold, yellow and black, green and blue. Yeah I know I got a bit carried away here. What do you think of my idea?

Mystique is terrific! Clean; elegant; flexible; featured sticky post; multiple post formats; color-changing links; footer widget areas; attractive use of fonts and formatting; nice background options and defaults; neat background gradation at the bottom; subtle menu and widget shadows add a welcome 3d depth.
I wish there were a few less-garish color schemes (grey doesn’t count); I wish I could hide the featured post title/label so the image would be more like a blog header image; I wish my long tagline simply wrapped into 2-3 lines rather than shifting below the title; I wish there was a bit less empty space above the title.
These complaints are just quibbles, though. It’s the next step beyond Twenty Ten > Coraline > Clean Home. Well done, and thanks!

As I mentioned when first commenting, this theme is exactly what I’m been looking for to make a thriller/adventure blog on science fiction/fantasy look stylish. While exploring it I found the very useful-looking “Mystique Tabbed Widget.” This appears to be useful, but I could find no way to order the tabs on the widget. I would at least like very much to be able to control the one my readers are immediately hit with. Could this be considered in a future upgrade?

Nice one to add to the WordPress.com lineup. I’m using it on my self-hosted blog at CoachNotes and get a lot of compliments on it. Thanks to Digital Nature (who is also author of the very nice Fusion theme).
One thing to note about the Mystique theme. I almost hate to bring it up, but potential users should be aware: This theme had an April Fool’s joke built in that changed all your gravatars to unicorns on April 1st of the year! (Yep, happened to me, but easily fixed). Maybe it is not inherent in the WPcom version.
Otherwise, a beauty!
