Maro theme is the first of this month’s theme series. The theme features a 3 columned design and has a sleek brown background which is pretty pleasant to the eye.

Lets take a closer look at its features

The header image just as at the Chameleon theme is automatically generated, but this time it doesn’t matter what php version you are running. This was BETng4U’s idea, i wanted to include the psd in the package but he kept insisting we do it like this, so here we are.

To change the text simply go to your settings page and change your Blog Title and Tagline.

Maro has 3 columns. I decided to make a 3 columned theme because that is what all people want: mroe space for them to put widgets,gadgets,banners and other stuff. Both sidebars are widgetized so you won’t have trouble filling them up .

All latest wordpress theme features are built in including tag cloud, tags display in post, etc.

As usual the theme is XHTML and CSS valid(although the XHTML validation will be ruined once you start posting, happens at each and every blog)

The theme is fully compatible with Wordpress version above Wordpress 2.2.

Because the Wordpress.org theme viewer doesn’t support the upload of themes which have plugins in sepparate folder we integrated Brian’s threaded comments in the theme. They will be automatically activated once you activate the theme.

NO SPONSORED LINKS! As usual you will NEVER find sponsored links on my themes, just a small link back to my blog .

Maro theme has a Theme settings page. Once you activate the theme you will find the Maro Theme Options at the Design section. There you will be able to edit the links displayed on the right top part of the page. On the settings page you will find a Dinate section, so if you enjoy the theme feel free to donate a few bucks .
