Smack in the face of WordPress' no-sponsorship policy, Performancing today announces the launch of its free, high quality, ultra-sleek Dark Laptop Theme.
Designed by Sean at GeekWithLaptop and produced by RideLust Cars, we encourage you to pour over Dark Laptop and absorb all the great design elements it includes. From about 5 different unordered list styles, to class based image alignment, and sleek metrosexual curves, this design has it all.
Dark Laptop is a great WordPress theme for bloggers who want a polished, professionally designed theme with uber-cool blog elements. Personally, I think it would look great as a journal on city life (The Manhattan Blog?), for a lover of books, for a software engineer or even an insomniac like so many of my friends;-)
disclosure
Just pre-empting the fact that someone might raise this: Sean originally designed this theme for Have Laptop, Will Travel- although retained the design rights post-sale of that blog. This site still currently uses the Dark Laptop theme and now appropriately links to Performancing Themes and Sean in the footer.
I agree this is one of the
I agree this is one of the best themes I've ever seen for WordPress.
Is it a sponsored theme? If so, too bad for the WordPress community, cuz it'll never be on the official theme site! :P
Fantastic Theme
Yeah that's a great theme. I suspect it will have limited adoption though. I suspect that it may get hung up with long Blog titles fitting in. Its not as generic looking as the other 'Performancing' themes so far, but it definitely does pop. I'd love to use it on several sites, but as I started thinking about the fit of the artwork, it seemed like the theme might have a bit of a tight niche. I do like it quite a bit though!
Brett, There's a need for
Brett,
There's a need for free "tight niche" themes in addition to generic ones. Hopefully some bloggers will find this one useful.
I definitely agree
Yeah, I definitely liked it, just trying to figure out how I could use it. Registered a new domain the other day that might work well with it. :)
I suspect it could definitely inspire some brand new blogs based on the theme alone, so that's got to say something positive about it!
