There seemed to be a three column theme drought recently, so I decided to port this one called Stylevantage from Styleshout. This template has been around a while, but I couldn’t find any decent WordPress integrations, so decided to do a fresh one myself.

  • Fully compatible with WordPress 2.5 and above
  • Native Gravatar (WP 2.5+) and tagging support
  • Both sidebars (left and right) widget-ready
  • Validates XHTML strict

There are three different color stylesheets available (orange default, green, and blue) which can be easily switched out in the header file. Simply change Orange.css to Blue.css or Green.css to change to the color of your choice.

@ameo: You’ll probably have to edit the width in the CSS file.

To change the colour, you need to know hexidecimal codes.

Open Orange.css, and go to line 171.

Replace the background: #FFF; attribute, with the colour you want, eg:
#wrap {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 850px;
text-align: left;
background: #c567ab; /* this changes the colour to a nice pink.. */
}

Enjoy,

Ben

@gispe!: You want to change the colors? Go to header.php and find the following line:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://demo.themelab.com/wp-content/themes/stylevantage/Orange.css" type="text/css" />

Change the “Orange” to “Blue” or “Green” - hope this helps.

Not sure how to get this to my Wordpress files, as those were loaded directly to my Dreamhost account. Can anyone tell me how to load this to there? Many thanks.

@Dan: This theme isn’t available on WordPress.com so you can’t use it there, unfortunately.

Hi there. Just wanted to say that I really liked this theme and have decided to use on my site Parmiter.com.

I just wanted to know how to change the colours of the relevant columns like in your screen shot above. I can edit the template and replace orange with green or blue as advised, but I would ideally like one sidebar (or possibly just one widget) in a different colour.

Great theme though - thanks alot :)

I would like to customize the blog to use the top menu (”home” and “about” in the template) to be the same as the other pages on my website. Can you direct me to a good “how to” site for php and links? Thanks for translating this template into a wordpress-ready version!!
