It’s great to see that the Misty Look Theme has been upgraded to Version 3. The theme is designed by Sadish on WpThemePark.com and it has some really nice extras.

Custom Header Image

In version 3 you now have the ability to import your own header pictures directly in the presentation admin area. The pictures are then cropped to the right size and it will automatically become the new default header for you blog. This is the first WordPress theme to accommodate ‘Custom Header Image’ feature.

The theme also incorporates many other upgrades, in line with the recent release of WP 2.1, and the full list can been seen here.

Theme Features

MistyLook V3 has a lot packed into it for just one theme. Here is a short list of some of the features of this theme;

Sidebar Widgets Compatible.
Theme Options page allows you to exclude/sort Pages for the top Navigation bar. Options page also supports Asides. Asides are ‘quick bits’ of information you want to post. They do not have to look like a regular post.
Includes Page Template for an Archives Page. Just create a new page and use ‘Archives’ as the Page Template.
Includes Page Template for a Contact Page. Just create a new page and use ‘Contact’ as the Page Template.
Includes Page Template for the Links Page, so you can display all the links you have in a separate page.
404 Template and Search Template too.

All in all, this is a great update to an already great theme. MistyLook is one of the highest downloaded themes on the Wordpress Theme Viewer site at the moment. It is also cool to see this theme being used by some of the Top Bloggers, such as John Chow dot Com blog and many others.

I would highly recommend this theme to anyone looking for a good solid theme. It looks great, it’s cleanly coded, has nice page templates and lots of cool features built-in. Recommended.
