DarkPress Theme

March 16th, 2009 Posted in buddypress themes |

darkpressblogscreenshotThe release of the Facebuddy theme has been a great success for us: over 70 downloads and more than 800 views in two days are very nice numbers for a website born three days ago. Now we want to demonstrate our gratitude releasing another free theme, very, very different from the previous one.

DarkPress is a theme that is going to become a classic in the Buddy Press themes history (note: this version is for the RC1 version of Buddy Press, we will upgrade this to the Buddy Press 1.0 in the future). Black and blue atmosphere, professional looking, it can be suitable for communities that talk about music, software, videogames, sci-fi, media, and a lot of other things. Customizing it with your logo and/or header image is really easy, and i’ve included a full installation guide text in the download.

The experience of Facebuddy has been important to avoid the installation bugs that came with the early version of that theme. I hope this will help the Buddy Press community to grow up, because Andy Peatling has maden a great work with that software. Don’t forget to show here in the comments a link to your website with DarkPress running!

Here is the video showcase of DarkPress:

    I can’t get the menu links to work properly. Groups has no page linked to it. Any ideas?

    great template. http://www.leapbrowser.com

    so close!! I was hoping this would work with my current 1.0 BP install, as it looks great. Any guess on an ETA yet for current compatibility?

  11. cheryljns says:

    Wikiroma looks great. Good job!

  12. Sgrunt says:

    Hi guys: i’ll do my best. I’m debugging the new release of http://www.wikiroma.it (that uses buddypress too), but i’ll come soon at work with themes!

  13. cheryljns says:

    Ditto what Chickenwaffle said. I, too, have a BP network site that really needs a dark theme. I ’spose I could download the Skelton component and start noodling around…. But it would just be so much easier (for me) if Sgrunt could get DarkTheme updated. :-)

  14. Chickenwaffle says:

    Any news and when this theme will be compatible with Buddypress 1? Sorry about being persistent, but I really want to use this theme for my site :D

  15. cheryljns says:

    Any idea when the DarkPress update for BP1.0 will be done? I’m eagerly waiting! Thanks!
