11. personally like this theme, is great if you integrate with photos as the black presents the pictures very well.

    One suggestion - rename the file to “ChaoticSoul_v.1.0″; if you leave the space between the “ChaoticSoul” and the “v”, you’ll get an error when trying to edit the templates due to WP not liking the space in the theme name.

31. [...] Colors are one of the things that matter for your readers’ comfort. First - do not use the strong contrast. Your readers will suffer when they must read with template based on strong contrast. Good example for explain how you have to do not use that ugly solution on your blog might be the chess. Do you really think that chess are black-and-white? Well, you are totally wrong. There are 2 colours of course, but no strong contrast - Chess are light-brown-dark-brown. Why? There is one important reason - strong contrast is totally illegible. So, which color scheme you have to get? Based on bright background and no garish colours of course! I’ve lost 2 hours in order to find any great dark template and now I’m forced to say that every dark template sucks. Exemplary Chaotic Soul sucks, too. http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/134/chaoticsoul-10/ [...]

    in style.css, replace the line

    #commentform p { float: left; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; }

    with

    #commentform p { margin: 0 10px 10px 0; }

50. [...] True. it’s been a long time since I last shared a design work over here. It does not mean that I have stopped creating themes for Wordpress though. I guess I just need to find the time to work on those projects. Also, in some way, it kind of make the whole thing more mature in the end. It’s quite interesting to see how my influences have evolved thoughout the time. So far, I have been designing minimalistic, high contrasted templates. Most of them have various shades of grey with one contrasting color, either dark red or white. It is no secret that all designers are influcenced, in a way or another, by the work of another designer. Urbanix, the theme used on this website, was design with several trends in mind.The main influence certainly comes from Phu Ly’s Altica. This professional webdesigner has done amazing Wordpress templates and he clearly is a master to me. The more I look at those themes, the more I learn about very subtile techniques which produce an amazing effect on the eye. Along with Phu Ly is Bryan Veloso. His website is currently underwork as he is rebranding everything for the CSS Reboot. The way Matt uses dark color is very particular. i was particularly stunned by one of his free Wordpress template: ChaoticSoul. I was greatly inspired when designing Urbanix. [...]
