Theme Sneak Peek: Glow

For those of you who celebrate Christmas, I hope you had a pleasant holiday. I have been enjoying a few days of great food and family time, but I have also done some preliminary work on a new design. I know that this isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, and maybe some of you are tried of purple, but I guess I still need to get it out of my system! This is a fairly “flashy” design, much more so than usual – it must be the plethora of Christmas lights that I see every night, or maybe the Christmas spirit just has me in a sparkling kind of mood. The design is called “Glow,” and it is only in the very beginning stages of development. This means that it could change a bit before it is released, I am not sure, but I know some of you like to get an idea of what is going on behind the scenes, so here you go:

    Looks great, but – purple again…? I see, you love that color! ;-) Will there be at least a second one, too?

  2. Alpha89 says:

    Looks very nice. All of your themes do by the way! As SiGa said keep track on the purple. I like black, blue and green more but I think this one is again multi color?

    Keep up the good work!

    • admin says:

      Well, I do have 19 themes, and only 2 of them contain purple, and one of those two has alternate color schemes. So, I don’t think my use of the color is too excessive (1/19). There will probably be alternate color schemes anyway, though.

  3. la100rra says:

    I like all your themes, enable more than one color option, is a great idea

  4. It would be cool if the body could be in black too! Or some gray-tanned colour.

    But it looks nice yet again..

  5. Ali says:

    Looks very nice, hopefully we will be able to select other colours.

  6. Anto says:

    Looks nice.

    Im sure it will come with colors.

  7. Joel says:

    my god, go to sleep man :)

    When this releases, your themes will be $1 a piece!

    Damn! I wish you the best for ET. Truly.

  8. Idama says:

    You never should have showed them lol…

    It’s hot man! That’s all that needs to be said.
    Do your thing.

  9. levin says:

    another great theme!

  10. Devon says:

    Perfect theme, i guess that you have used scroll Carousel on the top for articles? it will be perfect for my web design portfolio, Looking forward to see it in Blue and Grey color options.

    Excellent work again mate.

  11. lilliest says:

    I really like the look of this new theme. I’m anxious to see it in it’s entirety. Out of curiosity, do you have any e-commerce themes?

    Happy Holidays.

  12. Jeremy says:

    The theme design is nice but I’m still waiting on a nice theme for a movie site. eVid is too minimal for my needs. I want something that is hollywoodish.

  13. Keith says:

    Wow.

    Once this thing is released that selling premium themes at $1 a piece! Quality for a buck, I tell ya.

    Thanks man, for creating affordable premium themes (And I mean truly affordable!)

    Have you ever thought of selling single themes for something like $5 a piece? You could make a handsome profit, mate ;)

    Anyway, all the best. Hope you had a nice xmas, and have a great ’09.

    -Keith

  16. Anto says:

    Progress with this in % ? :D

  17. Terri Ann says:

    Do you ever intend to create a theme that isn’t image based or magazine style? A text based blog theme

  18. Is the feature article section going to have an automated cycling feature?

    P.S. you do awesome work!

  19. Kamran says:

    You need to raise your prices man! I just bought membership. Your stuff is awesome. I think you should price at $99/year for membership and $14.97 a theme.

    Especially now that you are offering more support for your old themes, the new price is justified.

    Usually people who price too low for quality all of a sudden overprice their stuff to compensate. Please don’t fall into that trap like activecollab.

    Best wishes to you!

  20. 凋零的羽 says:

    so cool!I like this theme,I like the sub menu effect,once the theme release, I will to pay $19.95 for a year!Haha!

  21. WP Jedi says:

    Awesome. Can’t wait.

  22. I would love to see some more navs that have drop down sub cats or some left navs that expand. But this is a cool theme.

  23. Leland says:

    When can we expect this theme to drop?

  24. Fath says:

    This one looks nice. :)

  25. Michael says:

    Same question as Leland. When can we expect this theme to be released? Again, great work on the past templates…look forward to additional themes.

  26. Here is one quick idea I think that would really help the functionality of the theme…

    Can you make an option in the back office where you can change the “recent post” section to be 1 long horizontal post on the home page, instead of 2 smaller columns?

    I mean def keep the current option, but I would really like the 1 longer horizontal option since you can see more of the article title that way…

    Again, Thanks for everything!

  27. Bogdan says:

    Hi,

  29. Simon says:

    Very nice theme. I am looking forward to seeing it when it is released. Would be great if it could have different colour modes, because I have seen a bit too much purple…

  30. samir says:

  31. thai song says:

    Nice theme. I love that color!

  32. Al says:

    I think an RSS or subscribe button at the top could be useful for some

  33. Jordan says:

    I hope that a color change option is available as this is a Fantastic theme, I would love it in Black and it would be perfect!!!

  34. How’s anyone heard the status of this theme?

    Just wanted to see how everything is coming along, or when we can expect it…

  35. OmeFred says:

    When can we expect this great theme? You’re doing great work BTW!

  36. alon says:

    So will this theme be released next or will it be an upgrade release coming next?

  37. [...] Speaking about being busy I pretty well know one who is, and that is the theme designer of Elegant Themes who has rolled out a second batch of updates for his themes including a new addition to his gallery which will be the theme that one of the three new sub sites of mine will be using. It’s Basic, his latest theme. Though, I’m really looking forward to a new batch of updates coming from Nick in the next couple of days for the other themes that are yet to be redesigned and for the theme that he has announced back in 2008 to be released soon. [...]
