Abstract Shylock is by shylockblogging.com. Of course, the header image can be edited to reflect your requirements. We like the vector art swirls and the rich use of colours.
This decorative theme would be effective for cartoonists, jewelers, embroiderers, quirky, baby clothes designers, confectioners, baby supplies, bridal outfitters, beauticians, quilters, textile designers, romance writers … choose ‘abstract-shylock’ from Themeleon - our vector art fan theme shifter.
M
September 13, 2008 on 10:25 am | In beige, fixed width, pastel, three columns, warm colors | No comments
How James Bond-y is that? A theme named ‘M’ by Aruz. This theme has seven column spaces, and more features built in, with more options than a swiss army knife. To achieve the same functionality a more mainstream theme would require substantial customisation. With M, it’s ready done, right out of the box.
M’s adaptability and soft colours suggest a theme for conference organisers, community groups, charitable organisations, educators, teachers, philatelists, cartographers, scholars, not-for-profits, churches, hospice, healers, day spas, retreats, meditation, geologists … choose ‘m’ from Themeleon - our ‘also comes with a useful tool to take stones out of horse’s hooves’ theme shifter.

Flirty, fragrant, and fabulous, A Rose Is A Rose is a beautiful theme by fedora girl and Grab A Theme.
Heady. Gentle. This is a theme needing a little customization, and then it’ll be magical for florists, of course; and for small hotels, bed and breakfasts, gardeners, beauticians, poets, romance writers, bridal outfitters, memorabilia, retreats, day spas … choose ‘aroseisarose’ from Themeleon - our madly romantic theme shifter.
Smashing Theme

Smashing Theme was designed by Elena Gafita from the DesignDisease team. Here’s what Elena had to say about her design when she talked to Smashing Magazine:
“Creating a Wordpress Theme isn’t easy but I can’t call it yet a NASA Job. The theme I created for Smashing Magazine was a special task for me because I read this magazine every time they have something new so I wanted to give something back.
After I found out what Smashing Magazine team expects from this theme I got started by selecting the color palette. After this point I created the layout style and placed the background straps modular along with the layout areas. This choice was motivated by the fact that Smashing Magazine is a feed, a flux of information represented by the size and colors of the straps. Colors are — of course — inspired by the Smashing Magazine logo.
Every designer who creates a free theme must know the importance of the AdSense integration in the layout; therefore I’ve divided the content area in 3 sections (columns). Each of them for a specific AdSense unit (468 x 60), (180×150), (160×600).
In my themes I always try to make a clear visual separation between the Posting area and the Widget zone (2nd and the 3rd column). In this case I achieved this effect by creating a strong visual contrast: white for the written post (to ensure the optical silence for readers) and colorful/darker areas (active vibrant content motivates users to click on those surfaces) for the numerous categories, links etc.
Another fact which I care about is the space around the main content (posting area). The flux of information must breathe, so a 20/30px white space between information units is necessary. The space left between the different areas must be used as a module, repeating the spaces in key zones of the layout.
One of the most difficult tasks in designing a theme is to find a style for it. A unique style helps a blog to stand out from simplistic and minimalistic designs. I don’t have anything against minimalist style, but as a designer I feel I can express myself in a more colorful way.”
We love the gelato colors, and see them being used by cafés, confectioners, hospitality, ice-cream shops, interior designers, opticians, quilters, quirky, restaurants, sweet shops - choose ‘smashingtheme’ from Themeleon - our lickerty split theme shifter.

FluidYellow has been released by Romow Web Directory.
Soft yellows and golds, coupled with the use of gray text, and consistent rounded corners and indented paragraphs make this theme subtle without being bland. The use of the lacy floral designs in the header adds understated elegance and interest. For florists, landscapers, gardeners, organics, health food, cafés - anyone with a sunny disposition.

Red Marinee
August 7, 2008 on 11:33 am | In fixed width, gray, light, pastel, pink, two columns, warm colors | No comments
Red Marinee, by Kaushal Sheth, is based on the original Green Marinee by Ian Main. The theme was ported to Textpattern by Thame - and then re-ported to WordPress by Kaushal Sheth. Phew!
Sensuous pinks and sooty blacks make this a great theme for candy-sweet moments. Nigella Lawson has assured us that, in India, pink is the new navy - and what Nigella says, goes. For restaurants, bubble tea shops, confectioners, baby clothes designers, baby supplies, florists, wedding planners - you make it work for you.

01-Dragee
August 4, 2008 on 2:57 am | In blue, flexible width, header image, light, neutral colors, pastel, two columns | No comments
A dragée (pronounced dra-ZHAY) is a classy name for a sugar covered chocolate candy. You know, like ‘M&Ms’. In this instance, 01-Dragee is Julian jez Klewe’s rather sweet theme. According to his web profile, C. Julian jez Klewes is a 23 year old student from Germany. Living in Kempen, near by Düsseldorf, he studies International Business and Management Studies at Fontys in Venlo, the Netherlands. In the past years he published different kinds of work on the web and did freelance designing, as well as consulting and researching.
01-Dragee is used here ’straight out of the box’ and some of the images are not always playing nicely with the text. They will play nicely on your web site. If you like the layout but want to use your own image (instead of the dragée) in the center that’s easy to change. We think 01-Dragee would be great for pharmacists, sweet shops, bed and breakfasts (B&B), small hotels, for people in the hospitality, medical, or education businesses - looking for crisp and cool concepts. Choose ‘01-dragee’ from Themeleon - our happy theme shifter - and see how sweet it is.
