Today we have a very cool looking WordPress theme released by Ceneb and ported into WordPress by myself. The design has a dark purple color scheme, suitable for many types of blogs. If you like Gravatars, then you’ll like this theme a lot. Not only does this theme have Gravatar-enabled comments, but also Gravatar display for the post author. This theme is also 125×125 ad ready, so feel free to replace the current placeholders with your own advertisements. Last but not least, this theme features 2 widgetized sidebars.

Hey guys,

Well I don´t know if you guys should hear this, but oh well. I am the designer of this theme not ceneb … he just bought if of me and providing it to you ;) .

As for the coding … it´s done ok , not the best could be done much better in my opinion. In example the navigation hover , or the background. And just to let you know something, you can include those arrows in the navigation, with some little css tricks (look up the default wordpress theme)instead of the background images you are using at the moment.

Still great to see something I´ve designed, nice of you to share it for free themelab.

I’m using this theme and the screenshot might not look super awesome but this theme is rockin! I love it. This has been my favorite theme I’ve used so far and let me tell you I’ve used them all…no joke. It’s just very clean and modern looking and there is room for my affiliate ad blocks. Everything about this theme rules. THANK YOU 100 x over.

it’s a very cool theme, I like it, but..
How do I change the user photo?
I’ve installed the user photo plugin but it keeps showing up as empty http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-photo/

You say it has support for gravatar but when I installed WP-Gravatar http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-gravatar/
It simply showed that gravatar in the post itself rather then on top, next to my name.

How do I remove the code that comes standard with this to make sure I can include the user photo plugin?
