New BlogEngine Theme - Natural Essence

Thursday, 24 January 2008 23:28 by jf26028

NaturalEssences Yes, another BlogEngine theme.  Yes, I know more stuff than how to theme BlogEngine.  No, this has not turned into a BlogEngine only blog.  Fortunately, I am really into design mode these days, and it shows by the number of BlogEngine themes that I have put out here in the last few weeks.  The latest release is Natural Essence which was originally designed by Arcsin and can be found here.  Even though the inspiration for the theme came from Arcsin, and it looks almost identical, the underlying markup is the same as Envision, which I released last night.  So, the implementation is completely custom, and I am still going with my attempt to use the same markup on as many different designs as possible.  It may not mean much to you, if you are just looking for a quick BlogEngine theme, but it makes the design process more interesting, to me, at least, and it opens up a lot of customization opportunities down the line, but I will give you more details on that in a later post.

I think this will be the last conversion theme I do for a while.  I will probably do a few completely custom themes next, unless I find a design that's really hot that I just feel the need to work on.  And, I am curious if any of you have any suggestions on what kind of designs you might like to see here.  No promises or guarantees, but I am interested in what you may be looking for in a BlogEngine theme.  Feel free to drop me a line in this post, or on the contact page.

So, enjoy the theme, and drop me a line if you come up with any issues.

This is the nicest theme (I have seen so far) for the BlogEngine! Well done.

Just one question – is there a way to make it ‘wider’? I found the Width in the CSS mentioned a lot, bu the background always stays the same. Is there a way to control the width of the background?

Ivan,

The theme uses the faux columns technique, so you will have to change the background image to change the column sizes.

Thanks for the comments,

Jesse

Nice theme. How do I add a calendar to it ? I like others that will show the whole month. Is that possible?
