It made sense. Most people like pages with white or very light backgrounds. So do I actually. Mostly. That’s why I made a copy of my dark gray ‘Tranquility’ theme and turned the colour scheme upside down.

Tranquility white is available for download here.

After about two nights of coding, I just released my second publicly available WordPress theme. It’s even got a small (80*80, less than 1 kb) Flash anim. The animation is embedded using Geoff Stearns’ SWFObject, making it fully valid xhtml whilst avoiding Internet Explorer’s ActiveX activation issue and dealing gracefully with older plugin versions, etc.

You can download it here.

Every once in a while I feel a sudden need to create a new theme for WordPress. Because it’s so easy and fun. This blog is basically nothing more than an excuse to play around with WP, xhtml and css. The current theme is a three column one with a difference. I’ve put the content column on the left and both the other columns on the right. And no real header or footer, resulting in lots of room for your content. The two sidebars can accomodate long blogrolls / adsense / whatever.
