New Theme: Mystique
Example of Mystique's single page view.
I think you’ll agree this theme has a certain mystique to it. This fun, colorful theme is flexible enough to fit any type of site — it’s simply loaded with options. A long-time favorite for self-hosted sites designed by digitalnature, Mystique is now available in your WordPress.com dashboard.
What doesn’t this theme do? It offers layout choices of one, two, or three columns, six color schemes, four footer widget areas, and support for four post formats. Not to mention built-in links to your favorite social networks in the header, a unique custom widget with quick-switching tabs, and special treatment for a “featured” post at the top of the site.
Read all about Mystique on the Theme Showcase — I think you’re going to really love this one.

Nice! I shall have to try it. I love those theme options, and hope to see more customizable themes in the future. I hope it doesn’t do funky things to my pictures like some other themes do. . .
This may be an answer to my never-ending theme search, honestly. I’ve been looking for a good theme for an adventure/thriller science-fiction/fantasy writing blog for a while, and am not entirely happy with what I’m stuck with now.

This looks fun! I love all the options and flexibility. I would like to see more elegant themes with a one column layout like Duster for the front page and blog pages. No side bar, but not full width as in 900+ px and not super skinny as in Day Dream. Bottom widgets of course. With the focus on content.

Love it! THIS may finally be the new theme I’ve been looking for! All I really want right now is a theme where I can customize my own 404 error to send people to the home page…

Mystique does a lot of things, but I wish that the dates on the posts showed the year. Example: June 21, 2011 or 06-21-2011 rather than what is shows now: Jun 21st. I use it for my self-hosted site.

Hi Emily, Mystique shows the full date (including the year) on single posts underneath the post as “Posted on” [date]; you can change that format from your dashboard in Settings > General under “Date Format.”

Tested out the single column setting of the theme, look great to showcase photos or as photos blog. The single column / main column setting for this theme is 915 – good to show a 900 x 600 photo! Anyway, I remain stick to Modularity theme, as so far it the only theme that allow to show image size 950 in width!! IMHO – this is the best theme to showcase photography / image, not to compromise the resolution / size of the image.
Still hope there will be a free theme with single/main column with supported width size 1000 or 1100. As today most LCD monitor in width size, thus it shouldn’t be problem for most visitors. It still depend on blog owner – for their preference. 🙂
Conclusion – Mystique is a great theme for me… !

I love it, shame though on the actual theme, the post text is different and rather hard to read… that’s incredibly off-putting. Or maybe it’s just not so compatible with Chrome. Otherwise, I love it.
