    Hello Everybody,

    I'm a long time SMF Themer. But i have always thought that WP themes were difficult. In reality they aren't.

    I'd like to have some comments on my new wordpress theme.

    Actually i made the PSD first and posted it for sale here on DP : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=342906


    But then, i decided to to code it myself and use it and now i have done it.

    Check out : http://gotchance.com



    Thanks,

    looks good and decent, colors are nice and soothing, may be you can put mouse over text as white on top menus.

    I think the header would look nicer with a glossy icon (instead of that custom shape there) and a nice glossy effect on your white text :)

    Thanks for that one.
    I will consider redoing the header.

    theme looks good but if you move the home and contact links which on your header to the main main, it may be better

    I like the theme. Simple and not too crowded.

    that is actually a nice theme! the white clean background makes the blog simple and cool! though that page took ages to load, and for some time i though the strips are the background, but then atlast it loaded!
    but then, i like the simplicity! best of luck for your sales!;)

    Not too keen on the million diagonal lines in the background.. one of my sites had that background a couple of re-designs ago.. makes my eyes go funny when I scroll down sites like that on LCD monitors
