New Themes: Modern News and Dusk to Dawn
Today, our ever-growing collection of themes grows by not one, but two with the addition of Modern News and Dusk To Dawn.
If your blog is news-oriented (or if you’re ripe to start a news blog), then Modern News, a new premium theme from StudioPress, is a great choice. Bright and stylish, Modern News offers six layout options, seven color schemes, a tabbed sidebar, and many more features. Get the full scoop on the Theme Showcase and purchase it as an upgrade for your blog.
Before I introduce our second new theme, it is important to mention that we are fond of all of our themes, even those that have been part of our collection since the beginning. However, there comes a time when themes retire after all their years in service. Today marks the arrival of that sunset period for two of our beloved classics: Dusk and Solipsus. Their successor, Dusk To Dawn, is a lovely free theme that captures the best qualities of both while introducing a unique new design that supports the latest WordPress features. We really think you’ll love Dusk To Dawn — so be sure to read about it on the Showcase.

I love the facelift that the Dusk theme has undergone. Custom accent colors and mulpitle layout choices and post formats. I’m tempted to spaned today playing with it on a test blog and then using it on one of my blogs. Thanks so much for the work you do to provide us with great themes with customizable options. It’s appreciated.

Great new themes. If Modern News was free, I would try it.

I really like lots of the Magazine and News style blogs such as Modern News, but I don’t have the capacity or justification to pay for a premium theme. I am finding it hard to find a similar style theme for my blog which is from the selection of free themes. If anyone has any suggestions they would be appreciated 🙂

Woah, loved this modernization of old themes, look at the fonts! The colors! So sleek! Thanks WP! I changed for this one!

I like the new Dusk to Dawn theme, but the edges are too harsh… it’s such a beautiful theme, it really calls for rounded edges. If that were changed, I’d probably switch. 🙂

The corners are slightly rounded in Dusk To Dawn 🙂 In case your browser is not up to date, I suggest to update it to the latest version. What browser are you using?

Are you referring to navigation menus? In Dusk To Dawn, the menu is in the sidebar.

Is there ever a “sale” on premium themes?
Right now I do not have the intake for the full $75 for the great premium themes such as “modern news” shown here, but having something a little more sleek and polished is sure to bring in higher traffic and therefore higher potential revenue to justify such purchases.

Yeah baby! WordPress is totally rocking! I like these themes too, one is for news and it is very well designed! And as for the other…at first i thought oops, don’t get fooled again…this must be a premium theme too! But nope! It is a non premium theme and it is rocking wild! I like its design, its header and I think it is twenty-eleven based, it could be an idea for the twenty-twelve, my congratulations on the designers and on WordPress.com too 😀
P.S. Surely I’ll start a new blog with this new incredible theme.

Modern News looks a lot like Minimum. Both nice themes, but I couldn’t tell much difference.
Dusk to Dawn is very nice, but I also like having the page navigation across the top instead of in the sidebar. Having used both, I find that people are more likely to click across the top than down the side.

Dusk 1.0 may be dated, but it’s still one of the most beautiful templates I ever saw, it’s elegant and above all: intimate. It’s biggest drawback: the ugly bar next to quoted passages.
Dusk. 2.0, more square and the blue background is a bit harsh and the black widget segment seems for some reason dominating, otherwise a very clear, well-balanced template.
But please put the Page numbering link at the BOTTOM, not at the TOP! Readers will forget or not understand that at the end of the post, there’s more. That’s the only real flaw I found, in all other regards, my compliments to its designer(s)

Thanks for your feedback! We moved the page link at the bottom now.
