Anaconda - Ultimate 3 Column WordPress ThemeA new theme called Anaconda has recently been released and it is perhaps the most complete theme design that I have come across in a while.

Anaconda is a flexible, 3 column WordPress theme which is designed entirely using CSS. The middle column and left sidebar are flexible and adjusts to browser size. The theme is also SEO optimized! It seems my search for a good CSS based, 3 column WordPress theme is finally over!

Anaconda has inbuilt support for 15 popular WordPress plugins out of the box. The theme is designed to work perfectly with all these plugins;
