I’m very proud to present my first wordpress theme: iLoveGrey.
I really enjoyed making this and i hope you’ll like it as well.
Basically it has a nice color scheme, a simple menu, two columns and a clean footer with 3 boxes.
UPDATE: Sorry the theme is not available now
Features in detail:
Slideshow powered by the SmoothGallery


Continue after the jump…
To insert a post inside the gallery you have to use the custom field “gallery_image“.
The image has to be: 920px × 245px.
In case you didn’t know, to add a custom field you have to upload an image (for example with the wordpress media uploader) and then simply copy and paste
the URL of that image inside the “value” box of the “custom field” panel immediatly below the wysiwyg editor you use to write a post.
The “name” of this custom field, as i said before, has to be “gallery_image”.
Please mind that the gallery works just if you have at least two featured posts. If you want to change this parameter you can apply this trick.
If, for whatever reason, you don’t want the gallery or if you prefer a static image simply open the index.php with an editor and search this line
<div class=”grid_12″ id=”bigimage”><div id=”featuredimg”><?php include (‘gallery.php’); ?></div></div>
and remove this part
<div id=”featuredimg”><?php include (‘gallery.php’); ?></div>

Thumbnails
![]()
The default thumbnail is 200px × 150px.
Again, you have to use a custom field: “Thumbnail”.
With the latest versions of WordPress all the custom fields are saved automatically so you have to create them only once.
Later you’ll be able to choose them from a drop-down menu.

Widgetized sidebar


Build-in Flickr box

![]()
To use the Flickr Box you need the flickrRSS plugin.
To fill exactly this box you have to configure the plugin options with 10 square items.

Gravatar support for comments
![]()

(OPTIONAL) Different style for the Administrator


To obtain this effect you need the Highlight Author Comments plugin with the code below.
Style the comment body:
border: dotted 2px #bbbbbb; background-color: #f2d9ec;padding-left:4px;margin-right:-12px;
Style the author link:
background-color: #f2d9ec;

Customize the footer

Change the box “follow me”with your links

PSDs included

Inside the zip file you find the header.psd, the thumbnail.psd and the arrow_comments.php
The power of the grid
First of all i suggest to read this tutorial.
After that you’ll be able to change what you want in few clicks.
WP 2 .7 ready
Tested on ie7, firefox3, safari 3(win) , opera9 , google chrome
Valid XHTML 1 .0 Transitional
Remember that this theme works with just two plugins by default: flickrRSS and WP-PageNavi

Francesco great theme pal.
Really nice work, I love it and definetely gonna use it :)
Saludos desde México!
I really love the theme! The post section seems really big and the sidebars really small, but that’s something I know how to change! I will play around with it and if I decide to use it will be sure to let you know!
@all: thank you very much, i’m glad you like it!
@Chelle: sure, thanks to the grid system, you can change the size of the post section in a second.
For example the container is a grid12, the main body is grid_10 and the sidebar is a grid_2.
Try to change the main body to grid_8 and the sidebar to grid_4, the result will’ be always a grid_12 but in this case you’ll have a lot of free space for the sidebar.
Let me know if you try it :)
Great work. ;-)
Complimenti, molto carino…
Scriverò subito un articolo sul blog.
