Today we have another great design from Styleshout, ported into WordPress by me. This is just a standard blog layout, reminiscent of a previous Styleshout theme, Colourise.

This theme has a completely widgetized sidebar including search bar and a styled calendar, as well as tag support and comment Gravatar support (WordPress 2.5+ only).

I really love this theme and for this reason I am using this right now at a blog I manage that I write to with some friends of mine.

The thing is that I hacked it a little bit. Basically I “translated” into Greek (yep!) and secondly, I created a totally new footer, also widgetized!

Come and see!

I need to know if you like it!

This theme is awesome and i am now using it but i also like the colourise… so what i did was take a mixture of the two.. mainly using my own header graphic/and the colorise one.. and the urban layout..

Please check it out and leave a comment on my blog.. (made a whole post of the update.. would be good to hear peoples thoughts??)

I was on the fence between this one and colourise. I liked the color scheme of colourise but preferred the layout and other style options of UrbanArtist. I ended up modifying the color scheme of UA to (kind of) match colourise. Also made my own backdrop and tweaks here and there to the code.

I do have a problem, though. The header picture (bg2.jpg) only seems to render properly in Opera, in other browsers it doesn’t cut off at the proper point and just bleeds under the text. I checked your demo server, this is a problem with the base theme, not any modifications I’ve made. I’m a css noob, so if anyone can figure out what the offending or missing code is to make the theme display properly in IE and other browsers, I’d appreciate it.
