New Theme: LightBright

With the popularity of tumblr increasing I thought it would be great to create a WordPress theme that allowed for similar functionality. LightBright makes it easy to share your daily life through its tumblr-style post types. Using the custom post types/taxonomies added in WordPress 3.0, the theme adds special integration options for photos, video, audio, quotes, notes and links. If you love the format of tumblr but don’t want to give up the versatility of WordPress, this is the theme for you!  Be sure to view the Live Demo, or check out the Features Page for more information.

LightBright Features

1. Four Unique Color Schemes – LightBright comes with four different color options, including Turquoise, Purple, Green and Black.

2. Six Custom Post Types - Custom post types allow you to share media in a tumblr-style fashion. With the click of a button you can share your photos, videos, quotes, notes link and audio files with your visitors.

I hope everyone enjoys the theme. Be sure to drop a comment and let me know what you think!

    Hi Nick,

    Nice job

    I have already started playing with it and have created a test site to see if it will work as a permanent fixture.

    Will there be a support forum coming soon? I already have some questions who it will work as a theme change and not starting from scratch.

  21. Really awesome theme. Just used it on my personal blog. Brilliant

  22. Scott says:

    I love the theme but there are a few issues…
    Permalinks dont work, posts dont count towards the total and…the biggest of all… if you ever change the theme from this one, all those tumblr-type posts are no longer visible!

  23. annonce says:

    Nice work thank you for this one.

  24. Lucas says:

    Hey Nick, i can’t use in portuguese because this theme doesnt support the codificication??? Why not? All the other themes of here support!

  25. mick e says:

    It’s a nice theme, but the side menu is not rendering correctly for me. I am getting only text and text links – none of the button styling that is shown on the preview or screenshots.

  26. Lucas says:

    Why the ´, ^ and ç doesn’t appear?
    I cant use in portuguese because of this…
    What i need to do?

  27. zafer says:

    No facebook for sharing links?

  28. David says:

  29. HyperTiti says:

    O_o That’s impossible !

  30. Kevin W. says:

    This theme is amazing but the sidebar is a bit too small,
    If I want to add a Twitter Widget it doesn’t display properly.

    Know of any fix?
    Or a way to make the sidebar wider?

  31. [...] Mas, talvez, você deseje algo mais profissional, hospedado em um servidor/conta de hospedagem próprios, utilizando seu próprio domínio, e queira manter neste novo blog a aparência, os recursos e a facilidade do Tumblr. Foi pensando nisto que o Elegant Themes desenvolveu o tema LightBright. [...]

    This one is really really cool! I like it so much!

  33. pi3r says:

    Hi all,

    Thanks for the theme, but it doesn’t seems to work with French special char.
    So you need to :
    1. Download the original font here : http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/League-Gothic
    2. Regenerate the js file here : http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/
    YOU NEED to check the “Latin-1 Supplement” into the “Include the following glyphs” section.
    3. Replace your existing “League_Gothic_400.font.js” in your theme directory with the new one.

    Refresh and Voila!

    What a great theme. Thanks a lot !
    I’ve got only two small issues :
    - (only custom) posts don’t display in rss feed ;
    - they are not considered as posts so are not posted automaticly to twitter anymore.

    Could you give some help please ?
    Have a nice day.

  38. Jay says:

    Is there any way that I can edit this so the theme can be wider?

  44. Jessica says:

    I’m having a problem with links on this theme… When I insert the code for for a link or an image into a post, nothing shows up. The link text shows as just plain text.

    Very disappointing, since I really like this theme. How can I adjust this?

    Thank you!
