New Theme: Dark Wood
Go against the grain with “Dark Wood,” an eye-catching and playful theme. Bright colors and whimsical icons fuse with dark tones to provide a pleasing and harmonious design. Dark Wood is a three column theme with a rich wood textured background.
Dark Wood
When you’re looking for a theme with some serious character, Dark Wood could definitely be the one. Bright links and header icons give the design some real spice, complemented with a whimsical background.
Dark Wood doesn’t leave out the extras either. There are two sidebars that can be packed with widgets and the search box comes styled nicely to match the design.
Dark Wood's Sidebars
Dark Wood will provide a pleasing and harmonious backdrop for your blog. Give it a spin and see how you like it.
Dark Wood is available for all WordPress.com sites and is available for WordPress.org users over at the Theme Directory.

Sorry, man – all that pink and the flower on every post? Way too girly. Seriously.
I like the way the header box expands to fit the text, but the title all in lower case? Nope – bad idea. And yet initial capitals are imposed for all words in the post titles. That’s just wrong. Both items should be the bloggers’ choice.
Nice try, but it really needs more work. Lose the pink and the flowers, and revert to the standard English format for blog and post titles (which people can ignore if they wish, without difficulty), and you should have something. As it is, it’s confused.

I’m having trouble getting it to upload a new header. It seems to do it and then when it says “crop header” the image isn’t even there. So I just click crop to see what will happen and it goes back to the default header. Any ideas? Anyone else had trouble uploading a customer header on this theme?
LikeLike
Dark Wood has a custom background, not a custom header.
LikeLike
I love this new design BUT the custom header option suddenly disappeared and reset my header to the original color making it extremely hard to read. Can someone look into where the weavils have taken the “custom header option” and entice them to return it.
LikeLike
You shouldn’t see a custom header option for Dark Wood. It only has a custom background option.

Cool! I hope there are more coming. Keep up the good work!

Love this theme but been confused as it has been listed as having a custom header.
This WAS there as I saw it and even wrote down the dimensions for the header now it seems to have disappeared!
LikeLike
Ah, you’re right! It was there just for a short time, but it was removed because the theme isn’t designed to have a full image in the header. You need to customize the background image instead.

Okay…I have to lash out and be the sicko in all of this. I love the beauty of the dark wood grain and the simplicity of the entire layout…very nice! Now…I would, however, like to see this in more of a dark and creepy mood. Can we spice it up just a hair? Maybe some bloody hand prints that have been dragged down it somewhere? Or maybe something as simple as an axe in the wall? Suprise me! But yea….for the lighter hearted people out there…THIS ROCKS!

can you change the colour of the wood?
LikeLike
To change the color of the wood, you’d have to upload a new custom background image with the wood color changed in the image.

I like. I like. Reminds me of my brothers bedrooms back in White Plains. Dark wood paneling. Super cozy. And it actually appeals because I’m starting a blog about books. It’s very library – literary. Looks like you might have hit this one out of the park. Thanks for making my first time out with WordPress a rewarding one.

Cool, finally something dark after these white minimalistic themes! :))) Actually, it makes me want to create a new blog… However, the strange thing is that everybody here using this theme is still having the original wooden background, while in my opinion the custom background is the greatest advantage of this theme.Nice job!

the theme is great but I really believe Noel that pink flower is a disaster in whole picture. i wish you’d replace it with a better and mannish item (for exmple a simple cricle.
another suggestion for you my friend is about the color of hyperlinks! I think these hot colors is not suitable for this classic theme! i recommend just try colors like yellow, golden or cream.
thanks in advance 🙂
