New Theme: Choco
February 25, 2011
Say hello to our newest theme, Choco. If I had to sum this theme up in just one word, it’d be stylish.
With dark colors and stitched borders Choco will give your site a classy, contemporary feel. It is well-suited for any site but works especially well for journal-style blogs: the traditional two-column layout with a right sidebar frames your stories in familiar—yet beautiful—style.
Choco is chock-full of style.
Choose from three color schemes and further customize the look with your own background, menu, and sidebar widgets. Learn more about Choco on the Theme Showcase.
Designed by CSSMayo, Choco is now available for WordPress.com, and for self-hosted WordPress.org sites, from the WordPress.org Themes Directory.

I absolutely LOVE this! I would switch to it, but when I put in my custom background, I can’t see the page links at the top unless I hover over them 😦 Very beautiful theme.

This theme works best with a dark-colored custom background, a lighter one won’t work as well.

Very nice, in particular the content area, which pops very cleanly, crisply.

I love the artistic expression of the theme, but you know I love three columns. This is really nice and xnicc was right, it has a great journal feel.

Looks great! Very classy and appealing.

Meh, seems sticky.

We’re hoping this one does stick with quite a few WP.com sites. Might not be a great one for a weather blog, though, eh?

My goodness, it’s beautiful! Probably one of the best in a while. Thank you!

Pretty sweet design, I’ve already switched one of my blogs over to it! I’d give it a full five stars if it had a custom header option.
LikeLike
We looked at adding a Custom Header (it doesn’t have that option in the WP.org version) but decided it wasn’t a great fit for this theme.
LikeLike
Oooh… dark and brooding. Just like my mood of late.

I have a feeling I may have a new theme shortly!

Should be called “Choco & Leather”!

Very attractive and different, which I think will appeal to many. The light writing area with dark background works well. Thanks to all the new themes, I’ve changed my theme so many times in the last months that my readers will think I’m nuts if I change again. I’m quite happy with Duster for now.

Thanks. I’m going to activate this one.

This would be so perfect for me if it had a custom header option!

This is certainly one of the best themes of seen in awhile! (and it is quite difficult to best many of it’s predecessors). I may just have to try it out sometime.

Good work and great theme. But I can’t use this because I love Twenty Ten… and it is not suitable for a science blog. Well, I should give a try—to check out its features.

I like chocolate. Hope WordPress can bring another 3 column theme like I use now.

I might consider it. Brown is one color that never goes out of style, and both genders seem to like it. Even though it is not as exciting as grey and blue or whatever, I find that some people have a hard time reading anything on that color of a background. Keep up the great work with journalism themes…that’s the kind I like!

I love it so much, thank you. :))
