This is a modified version of the “Wp-NewsMag” theme over at http://www.wp-magazine.se/
When I did the redesign for Jerico Systems I was too busy to do a whole new theme myself so I looked at a few premium themes and didn’t really see anything I thought would suit my needs here. When I came across this theme I knew it was perfect for what I needed. As with me I always like darker colors so I immediately knew that I would have to make some Major changes to the theme when I downloaded it. I change all the colors of the theme and added a lot of transparency. I also made use of thumbnails for every post and changed the archives view to a gallery view with the thumbnails and a short description. The original theme you had to have your pictures in a certain directory to use the thumbnails but i changed it so you can add the entire url to use them. I removed the wordpress avatar tags and made use of the MyAvatars plugin because it offers a lot more freedom over the display. Because I changed this to use thumbnails for every post I made it so the smaller 90×90 images use the thumbs you make for the post so you don’t have to make 2 different thumbnails for every post. I also changed all the icons and images which was necessary to go with the new colors. I have also added an ad bar at the bottom which uses 16×16 favicons or images. The theme looks great in Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, and Opera 9.5.

Installation and Usage

To install simply unzip and put contents in the themes folder of your Wordpress installation.
There are 2 types of thumbnails you can use for this. For every post made you will need to use a 140×140 thumbnail. The theme used 90×90 thumbnails for the smaller images but i have changed this so it resizes the 140×140 size down so you don’t have to make 2 different thumbnails. For the post you want on the top 4 you will still need to make 220×140 thumbnails for these.
140×140 thumbnails use the ‘thumbnail’ custom field.
220×140 thumbnails use the “image” custom field.
Just enter the image url in the field box.
