DesignDisease have just released another great wordpress theme for you to use. It’s called Tipz Theme and has a lot of nice features in it. One great feature of this theme is the logo changer. You can use your default blog name or you can use your own logo. To use your own you can upload your logo in the root folder of Tipz theme and name it logo.png or you can use the logo.psd as a template to create one.

The theme has rounded corners, which give it a simple Web 2.0 feel and it is fully widgetized. The front page has an easy to use “featured post” section so you can easily put on display your best posts. You can even put in a picture and a post excerpt to accompany the headline by editing the feature-image custom field and setting the category to “Featured”.

Eos is a free WordPress theme that has just been released with the elegant and clean look inspired by the colors of an aurora.

The theme should work with WordPress 2.5+ and has been tested in IE6, IE7, Firefox 1.5, Firefox 3.0, Opera 9, Safari 2 and Google Chrome. The developer of this theme, SRS Solutions, strived to create a superb looking theme for the WordPress community and I think they succeeded.

The design is very modern, with the background and header area having a aurora style grading that is very eye-pleasing.

The back end has an admin options page which is good to see. The admin options are just for the top menu bar which displays the categories of the website. Also, the drop down menus can be enabled or disabled here.

Overall, this is a nice looking theme with a modern feel. In particular, the top header area is very nicely done. To download, visit the  Eos Wordpress Theme page.

Zeke 1.0 is a new 3 column, widget-ready Wordpress theme designed by Michael Pollock of SoloStream Webstudio. This theme is built to work with all Wordpress versions 2.1 and above.

Michael has a demo site available here and the theme can also be downloaded from that demo page or by clicking here.

Zeke 1.0 is very easy to install. As usual, simply unzip the download file. That will give you a folder titled Zeke10 which should contain all the Wordpress theme files and then upload this folder to your wp-content/themes blog directory.

A cool feature of this theme is that it has a Featured Articles section which appears above the start of your main posts. To create a Featured Article that looks like the one seen in the picture above, all you have to do is create a post, then create a category called “Featured”, and then place any of your posts into that category. The theme is set up to select and display the most recent Featured Article.

Zeke 1.0 is a very pro-looking Wordpress theme that you could have some fun with.

I just came across a nice new theme by Pilkster on his new themey.com blog which has a great look and is based on the look and feel of the brand new Apple iPhone. As you can see from the screenshot the theme is a single column theme but it is very eye-catching and professional looking. The normal sidebar contents are displayed below all of the posts.

The iPhone theme is built on the famous K2 structure which makes it easy to adapt to suit your needs and it also should support a wide variety of plugins out of the box. The theme also supports pagination and has a built-in options page. This is a nice theme that’s sure to be popular.

For a full and comprehensive review of the iPhone theme you can visit the Theme Critic.

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.
