    Hey folks,
    I've been working on my latest WP theme. As ya'll might know, a dev always feels his product to be the best creation, however it's not true always.

    Please feel free to shoot all yer suggestions that you think would make this theme a even better one, than what it is now .

    Live Demo : http://www.wishlost.com/blog/

    Remember, this theme is Widget Ready and XHTML Compliant.

    Thanks in advance,
    ~G

    You could change the colors of Pages Search Categories etc. A better header would be great.

    Thannks Delphix and hlor.

    Will consider changing the header. Hlor, its fixed size, guess your monitor resolution is higher. Can you tell me what resolution you are running on ?

    Not too crazy about the header (black & white checkered part), the right sidebar tire tracks don't look that great. Consider changing the orange & the link colors so it's more easy on the eye.

    I'm not saying change the orange to like blue or something, maybe a darker orange or red (or in between). Whatever fits the layout the most.

    I would add a background color behind your menu area on the right to separate it from the content area. The design overall is okay..

    I'm not keen on the orange either -- perhaps a little darker, more of a burnt orange?

    Or try coordinating with the red bodywork of the car?

    Theme and pictures are good but I'd say change the background to one wihich gives a sporty look (like shades of red)

    I think its awesome!
    1) Don't like the checkered background
    2) Sidebar headers can be bigger (pages, search, etc) - too small right now and gets lost in between the other stuff
    3) The bottom checkers as well, overlap the text, and make it hard to read.

    First off, the footer text looks huge to me.

    Second, the background of the footer produces readability issues on my screen (white on white).

    Third, maybe try messing around with fading the tire treads that form the sidebar headers. The edges are very sharp strait lines.

    Urban monk, there are a few changes, but the changes are very minimal. The body and the sidebar has been moved a lil to the left.

    Will change the color of the links to crimson red.

    the tyre marks can be taken off or added.

    Will change 'em n get back .
