Here’s the now becoming usual montly theme releases post for July. This month i had a huge lack of quality themes to select from Digitalpoint Forums, so i checked out all theme releases posted on WeblogToolsCollection .

I checked out a total number of 347 themes, 257 being from DigitalPoint Forums and 90 from WeblogToolsCollection. “Luckaly” the selection was easy, because damn!, there were lots of crappy themes… i can’t figure out how can people release such ugly themes and still put 3-4 sponsored links on them. The good thing is that this month there is 1 more theme included in the showcase than in last month’s roundup!

Let the showcase begin!

1) Gablog Magazine theme

The thing that i like about this theme is that its very tech looking, and perfectly fits a tech/gadget blog.

It features an advanced menu system, Ad optimization, pagination and auto-excerpt along with a great spot for a youtube/metacafe video.

2) RemixMag

This theme looks GREAT! The wood background gives it an extra touch of smoothness and expresses the smoothness of the theme.

As you can see on the preview image this theme is also a magazine style theme. It has ad spots and featured post section. You can presonalise it by writing a little about yourself on the sticky note(you will find some great handwriting fonts at Dafont.com).

3) Luvin’ Grunge

Luvin’ Grunge is most probably the most beautiful grunge styled wordpress theme that i’ve ever seen. Although the base background and many elements are grunge styled the fonts give a clean look to the theme.

The big RSS button also looks great, and jumps in your eye starting from the point when you enter a blog using this theme(great way to get more subscribers).

This theme would look great for a personal blog(maybe an emo blog?).

4) Softpresence

Softpresence is this month’s sleekest blue wordpress theme. The combination between the different blue variations along with the yellow and white combination make the theme looks extremely appealable and pleasant to the eye.

5) Probama

If you live in the US and you are a Barack Obama supporter than this theme may be for you.

The theme features Subcategory dropdown menus, Custom archives page, Control panel options for Flickr, Youtube and Feedburner, and many more nifty features.

6) Positivenoize

This theme got my attention thanks to its simplicity. It doesn’t have many images and lots of extras, but the layout gives the user a clean and easy to navigate layout.

7) Scruffy

If your a teenager in high school/college and  have a personal blog this theme will fit like a glove to your blog.

The theme isn’t very complex, but i really like the color combination and the arrangement of the elements which make the theme fun, but still keep the notebook feeling.

8 ) Typography

This theme exceeds expectations. It’s a high-quality newspaper theme which has comment subscription built-in,built in smart archives,news slider along with a theme options panel.

The design is really clean and fast loading, there’s a lot of css work on the back end, but it surely was worth it because this is just an amazing theme.

9) SuperFresh

Superfresh is a 3 columned theme with a sleek green color. It features 2 widget-ready sidebar along with a spot for a featured post.

The layout of the post itself is really cool with the gravatar incorporated and the author and comment data acting as a sidebar for each post. The author most probably got inspired from wpdesigner.com’s layoyut.

10) BlueSensation

Enough talk about green themes. Let’s get down to serious colors like blue! Blue is one of my favorite colors, and the blue used in this theme makes the theme look really sleek.

The top and the footer of the theme are great, but the middle section is a bit rushed: elements are disorganized, there are lots of graphical elements that could have been added, but there’s nothing that can’t be fixed with a little work.

11) Portfolio

This month’s post features once again a theme made by Sorel Mihai From dailywp.com. This theme is unique and one of a kind. It’s ideal for web designers or showcase artists.

The main color is brown, and it can be characterized by sleekness and to the point objectivity. The theme features a theme settings page where the user can edit all the data displayed on the theme(it’s like filling out a resume form)
