New Theme: Unsleepable
October 7, 2006
Another day, another theme, right? 😉
Today I bring to you Unsleepable. It’s a very simple 2-column theme that’s pretty popular in the .org realm. So if gray, white and pretty hover colors strike your fancy – give this theme a try!
Enjoy!
Update: I’ve made it a bit more like the original by adding back the bottom block and widgetizing it (try not to add more than 3 widgets at the bottom), and a few other tweaks now. Almost feels like I should re-present it. Thanks for your patience!

Bryan,
There seems to be a problem with the unsleepable theme and the dashboard bar which shows up when a user is logged in. See post and screenshots here:

Yep, yep, I’m using it.
It’s cool – bit girlie… (I refer to the color of the links…
And the date … the month appears in lower case..?
Hmmm.
However, I like these two points – they allow me to know that despite your realms of genuis and generosity, you remain human 😉

And here I am thinking that I didn’t get any feedback from you lovely folks. 🙂 The theme should be back up, I think I caused some type of problem that required it to be turned off for a bit (that’s why you don’t give designers programming licenses).

This is probably my favorite theme EVER, but it seems to add a few Widgets I didn’t ask for…
I have the Latest Posts and Links widgets set up in my sidebar, but they’re repeated on the bottom. I’m guessing this is a bug in the theme.
Thanks guys.

Hello, I just tried this on my other blog..it looks nice and simple. I might be mistaken here, but I dont see the sidebar! 🙂 Am I missing something? I think the theme also looks very different in IE and Firefox?

@kashmir the wp banner may be a dashboard artifact. Try viewing your site while you are not logged in.

Sorry about that guys. Looks like that part of the sidebar code slipped under my grasp. It should be fixed now.

Bryan, is there a way to let the page links at the top expand a bit more? I have a page titled “What the heck is a web feed”, but in this theme the page link only shows up as “what the”. Look at my blog to see what I mean.
LikeLike
just to follow up on my previous question about long page titles in the top link, in Firefox my page title “what the heck is a web feed” is only displayed as “what the”. However, in IE6 the complete page title is displayed in the link but severely messes up the height of the header. I’m still using the Unsleepable theme so you can check it out there.

“Unsleepable???” Yawn.

And oh btw, on the “home” page, look at the bottom widget under “recent post”, there’s the “about” title that appears to be empty?

I realized now that there’s also a bottom widgets available, so now I found out what’s “about” all about. Impressive minimalist theme. So far, I like it better than those previous themes.

There seems to be a problem with the header links in IE6. The links end up on a second row below the blog title as opposed to the right side of the blog title.
jasonintx also seems to be referring to a similar issue… except the links on my blog are not as long.

I really really love this theme, but I have a problem with it: on every page but the first one, the entries go outside of the ‘white area’, and into the grey shaded area. I think this looks really untidy, and ruins it to be honest 😦 Is this a glitch in the theme? Or is it meant to be like this?
Any chance it will be fixed?
Many thanks,

This theme is so nice that MANY people (more than anyone would expect) are applying it to their blogs.
Please add link color choices for more varieties.
For example; add blue, orange, and green as choices along with the current pink.

Bryan –
The theme looks great. But there is one issue that keeps me away from using this theme. The “recent entries” section seems to flow beyond its boudaries and that makes it to look ugly. I’ve tried that in Firefox 1.5. If you could fix that then I’ll be on my way to use that theme for sure.
Thanks.
