A simple Twenty ten child theme, this means you need to have Twenty Ten theme (default WordPress theme) installed in order for it to work.
Features
- 6 color schemes with an added user style you can edit yourself.
- 4 post layout styles including post excerpts, excerpts with featured image, grid style and regular style
- Options in the admin section.
- A full width forum page template for embedding a forum or store IE:Vanilla forums, SimplePress etc.
- Grayscale icons include.
- Valid CSS
I’ve included a style template you can easily use to create your own style, I’ve also included a “user style”. You can edit this by going to the /styles folder and opening user.css in notepad and changing the colors. I’ve used a different visible color to make it easy to see which area the code changes.
If you create a nice style and want to share, email it to zeaks@live.ca
Screenshots – Since I can’t show all of the styles, layouts and the Admin options in the demo, here’s some screenshots.

Is there a way to use a custom menu with this theme like the default twenty ten theme?
If you mean the custom menu widget, yeah, you can use it the same way you would in Twenty Ten. Nothing in this theme is changed from Twenty Ten because it's a child theme. All widget areas are still there, only the header image has been disabled.
how do you do to leave the background like in this blog?
Open the style.css and find
/* body { background-attachment:scroll; background-image:url(images/gr.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; } */remove the /* and */ I forgot to remove those tags, I’ll update the download. Thanks for pointing it out.
thanks. Now can u tell me how can i set the maximum size of the thumbs in the grid mode?
I try change the file loop-grid.php, this:
[php]
>?php the_post_thumbnail(array(300,120, true), array(‘class’ =< 'alignleft post_thumbnail'));?<
[/php]
for this:
[php]
>?php the_post_thumbnail(100,100); ?< [/php]
but nothing happens
Ok, editing this comment again, thumbnail settings are so confusing. Check this post http://zeaks.org/other-stuff/simpleten-theme-update-1-1
I’ve updated the theme with instructions. Let me know how it worked out for you and if you run into any other issues, thanks.
If you use the user style to make changes, do they survive updates to TwentyTen?

Yes, only the parent theme is overwritten, that’s the purpose of using a child theme. I haven’t updated this theme in a while, if you notice any issues, let me know and I’ll fix them.
