Creating WordPress themes is one of the parts of my job I enjoy most as it’s an opportunity to contribute something back to the WP community.
Whenever I put together a new theme it’ll be available for download from the WordPress Theme Directory under the free open source/GPL license, and also mentioned here on the blog. You can use these themes for free in any project using WordPress.
The Neonglow theme is now available. A dark, clean and well-balanced theme, it’s suitable for any kind of blog and seems to have been taken up by lots of tech-focussed blogs.
HI!Thanks for your great WordPress theme that i downloaded. I’m doing experiments with wordpress (first time i use it) to build a showcase of my work but i’m having troubles with IE…i can’t get out of it.The problem is that the background image of header anf footer doesn’t display at all…with Firefox is ok.
Maybe you’ve got an idea?
Thanks.
Hello Silvia
The Neonglow theme is tested ok on IE 7 and 6 (there’s a workaround in place for the transparent PNG in the header on IE6. I’ve checked it in IE6 just now, it seems fine… can you tell me which version of IE you’re using?
There isn’t an image in the footer of this theme. If you can give me any more info or a URL to see I might be able to help further – nobody else has reported this problem so I’d like to help you get to the bottom of it.
I like your work at http://www.silviacossu.com by the way!
Hi Luke thanks for your quick reply!To be honest i rarely use IE as a browser…when i tested my wordpress experiments on IE7 just for a chance i didn’t see anything good..anyway, i think i did something wrong as i changed css file and i put some images of mine in the header and footer.
Don’t worry about your blog layout on my IE7, it’s ok except for the content displaied on left side, but i guess you know.
I shouldn’t have changed all those things in css file (height of header,footer,images..)..that’s it. I’ve got to write a css of my own if i want things working.
Thanks!
Hi Luke, thanks for this excellent layout. I’m using it on my blog now (some minor spacing tweaks here and there, but nothing worth mentioning really). Just wanted to express my gratitude.
Glad you like the theme. I’ll be adding more free WordPress themes, and hopefully something for Drupal, as soon as I get the time.
Thanks!
Hi,
It’s a good theme. I have a job this could be perfect for. Daft question but have you tested it for IE 8 support?
Thanks for the work so far.

Its a good theme. A light black will be better I think.
thats a very trendy looking theme, thanks for the DL!
Internet Explorer 8 is very good because it is as stable as Opera. I hate the previous versions of IE like IE6 because it hangs frequently. .
IE9 promises to support web standards and CSS3… we live in hope
version 8 still has quirks which I think this site demonstrates… been to bust to fix the glitches but a new version of the site is way overdue anyway.
Thanks for your comment
