Hey! So. This site will undergo some major re-design in the next several months (if not longer).
In the mean time, I highly suggest you head on over to: http://customthemes.tumblr.com/

header

This new Tricolor theme comes from sarah mogin. Not bad for a first try at a tumblr theme. It seems geared toward those with a no-brainer approach to bloging. I say this because it’s designed to work with three colors (hence the name, Tricolor) - and each post hardly differs from the other. The header is very nice, though. It includes all necessary and extra links like, navigation, as well as random post view. Cool.

tricolor - regualr post

regular post

The posts Are extrememly basic. It looks no more complicated than what you’d expect from a post. Each post includes the time and date at the bottom left corner.

tricolor - quotes

other post

Tricolor displays other posts in either yellow or (hot?) pink (all colors are customizeable). Check out the images for a quick example.

tricolor - chat

footer

I’ve gotta say, the footer is pretty cool. You have an area devoted to the tumbleog author, which includes a portrait image. Under that, you have the optional “following section”. And right at the bottom, a small credit area. If you’d like to include twitter posts in the footer you can contact Sarah and she’ll help you out.

other details

Tricolor is a good attempt at a first theme. It’s great for those who need something quick and simple. Customization is good too. You can change the background, text, Color 1, Color 2, and Color 3 colors! The one downside to having just three colors is that the different types of posts can sometimes blend and become undistinguishable from each other. Though some formating is provided, it needs at least six or so colors for each post type.

download

The theme can be downloaded directly here.
