After several days of shopping around for a new theme, I’ve finally settled on a slightly modified version of “Shades of Gray“. I’m using it with a CSS upgrade and the latest version of Sandbox.
Some of my favorite features of this theme so far:
- It pretty much fills the entire screen, so there’s no wasted real estate
- My comments are highlighted
- The large header image
- Ability to place widgets at the bottom of the page
- It’s super-easy to customize the colors for different times of the year
- Those cute little icons
I’ll be making subtle changes over the next few days. Let me know what you think and please notify me of any bugs!

Glad you like it. I’m still “moving in” and getting things set up exactly the way I want them.
Happy Thanksgiving, Caroline!!

@ MBMQ: I’ve made several “subtle changes” over the last few days. I had to give it a holiday makeover. It’s all done with CSS, which I find incredibly fun, but Alan says I’m obsessing.
I love it, too!
