New Theme: K2

Due to popular request we’ve got a version of K2 up on WordPress.com. We call it lite—same great taste, less filling.

We’ve tricked it out a bit with avatars, a little extra styling, and of course custom headers.

If you like Kubrick, there is a very good chance you’ll dig K2 so give it a try.

    I really like this theme!
    The only problem is that when I am in my front page, the label in the header is blank (i.e. there’s it’s no written “home” or whatever). And when I am in another page (e.g. “about”), the “home page” label disappear…

    I applied it on moi other blog and itz pretty good….I’ve always felt that the sub-headings (those watch icons & other text below the post title) were too cluttered in K2 but this is kinda trimmed version I suppose!

    There’s one Oddity though, when there are multiple pages, the ‘active’ page tab shows up clearly but the tabs for the other page show up as Plain white 😦

    Though I don’t use Kubrick, I like the style. K2 looks just as sleek, if not better.

    Thanks for your hard work, guys! ^^

    This is great Matt; both Unsleepable and K2 Lite are really good minimalistic themes that make blogs popular for what they should be — content :). I presume the next few themes may have more pizzaz in the form of visual appeal or intelligent use of color. Perhaps, Origami (Lite) may find its way in here soon ;).

    My First WordPress Theme: Unwakeable

    You may have noticed the additional page up at the top. It’s home to my WordPress theme, Unwakeable. Unwakeable is basically K2 with the Unsleepable header.
    It’s currently built off K2 0.9.1. I plan on keeping this theme in sync with all…
