This is a first here at Theme Lab, a free WordPress child theme, or themelet. After receiving some very nice feedback over at my personal blog, I have decided to release it here. All this child theme consists of is a directory with a single stylesheet in it. This stylesheet overrides a few lines of CSS in the parent theme to alter the color scheme, as well as change up the header a bit. Everything else is handled by Thematic, so you’ll need this theme uploaded to your WordPress theme directory as well.

Nice and clean, build of Thematic theme =D
Im not liking the nav is all, the rest is nice and clean.
Very cool, Leland!
How did you find styling/working-with Thematic?
@Anto: Fair enough. How do you think the nav can be improved?
@Ian: It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, once I got the hang of it.
Have to agree with Anto…
It’s a nice minimalistic theme, but perhaps too much so. I’m not saying I could do better, but it’s just stripped down to the point where it’s harsh on the eyes.
Sorry Steve it took so long to approve your comment, it got flagged as spam by Akismet for some reason (I unmarked it). Anyway, I appreciate the feedback.
Yeah, it’s like writing a plugin.
Just use hook and add_action or filter.
But, we still need a good parent theme to start with.
Nice job Leland. Child themes are starting to become known more and more and I think you’ll do well to start releasing them first (or one of the first anyway;).
This begs the question…who’s going to be first to try and release a “premium” child theme???
Thanks Adam.
There are a couple of premium child themes of Thematic already: Travailler and Acamas.
There’s also a “Theme Club” based around child themes over at Theme Hybrid, created by Justin Tadlock.
Duly noted, thanks for the info:)
I love monocromatic!
Q. What code would I need (and where) to modify monocromatic to place a small graphic image, about 30×60, over the black line in the header above the sidebar? Thanks!
