This Theme Thursday, we’re introducing a new free theme: Dyad.

Dyad pairs text and images in a balanced, dynamic layout, making it perfect for blogs where words and photographs need equal weight. Featured Images are displayed in different sizes and dimensions, depending on screen size and device.

Dyad is a fork of Receptar, a theme by WebMan Design.

    Beautiful!
    Would like to try it if I would not be so afraid of playing with themes and understood better the “language (sticky , featured and so on)” 😉

    This theme looks amazing! I wish I had a food blog or something with amazing photos to use for it though. 🙂

    A nice theme.

    I thought I’d offer just one minor suggestion. Consider adding a little definition/border between each of the text (and affiliated photo) boxes… as long as it’s consistent, I don’t believe it would detract from the cleanliness of the overall look.

    I find it slightly visually confusing (requiring extra effort on the viewer’s part), making it somewhat taxing to quickly see which text goes with which photo — especially, since these alternate text left/photo right & photo left/text right — in each row.

    Just an opinion; on the whole, a nice, functional theme.

    Good work Webman.

    Pretty slick theme. I just activated it and out of the box it formats nicely. My favorite theme of all 2015.

    Very nice new free theme! Good to have an alternative to the “minimalist blog themes” that have been the norm lately.

    Well done team….. another awesome design! Will use it in 2016 since it perfectly suits my needs, to be able to showcase the work, & is sort of similar to my existing ‘board walk’ theme.

    I really like this new theme! The new themes have for quite some time been quite boring and look-alike I think, so this one really pops out. In a very good way! I’ve just switched to it so I still have possibilities left to explore, which I’m looking forward to do.

    I’m using this theme on my new blog and love it. I did have a small issue, where instead of the featured posts I had a page header with the featured image from the most recent post. This seems to have sorted itself out now though.

    Nice! But not to be used if you have a blog with a lot of comments from your readers. The grayish text of the comments, on a black background, is hardly readable. They don´t invite to participate in the discussion.

    I can’t find Dyad when searching for new Themes, is it for WordPress-Blogs only? I’m using self-hosted WP Blogs.. :/
