The lovely folk at TutorialBlog had the pleasure of releasing their first WP theme this week. Their first theme entitled Tuut, is a dark theme with a pleasantly barely-there seamless background pattern and big easy to read post-date buttons. All in all it is very simple, lo-fi and quick-to-load, yet attractive and uncluttered feeling. A success, if not a mind blowing first release.
Their second and third releases both came out on Wednesday the 23rd, and are titled CityScape and ShinyThings, respectively. CityScape is a slightly more graphic intensive theme, yet just as dark as its predecessor. It features the well known ‘thick stripe’ style background, and some big shiny LED looking buttons for the comments. The header graphic is as you may have guessed: a cityscape. ShinyThings makes me feel like I’m wandering through a ‘made for the internet of today’ version of one of my favorite childhood boardgames, Candy Land. Everything is butterscotch yellow, and hard candy grape. More or less a colored version of CityScape, this theme gets rid of the header image and replaces it with a simple yellow bar behind some purple text. It looks better than I make it sound, I promise. A bright, easy to read, and easy to navigate theme.
