Tycho is a free WordPress theme I’m making available that’s ideal either as a minimal blog theme, or as a developer’s starter theme for designing your own look.
Emphasising legibility and whitespace, it’s easy on the eye and suitable for all types of content. There’s a useful set of theme options built in, making it easy to adjust the theme to your needs via the admin.
- 4 page layouts, which can be assigned to different page types
- 6 widget areas
- 7 accent color options
- 3 font stack choices
- upload a logo or use the default text link to your homepage
- jQuery dropdown menu
- ready for WordPress 3.x – custom menu support
- editable footer/copyright text
- optionally display Twitter and RSS feed icons
- tested on Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE 7-9
- validates XHTML Transitional and CSS 2.1
- checked against official WordPress unit tests
Hope it’s useful to y’all.

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in wp-content/themes/tycho/404.php on line 25
Hello JSEL, that line 25 in 404.php can simply be removed, I have updated the download also. Thanks for the catch.
