My first GPL Wordpress theme, Kallista 1.0 is a basic white 2-column theme with focus on good readability. It has been built from Sandbox theme and is currently in use on The Theme Blog. Check it out.
It features the usual suspects:
- Widgets
- Gravatars
- Valid xhtml/css
- SEO microformats

Nice Theme, a bit blank for my use but thats the point of minimal I guess. I like the readability, if that is even a word, it definantly suits blogs and the like.
Thanks Ben, I appreciate your feedback.
Hey man, I like the theme a lot, it’s very readable, you don’t usually get that with many free themes.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next one.
awesome dude. set it up on my site yesterday. makes everything clear and really easy to read.
not as good as my themes!
not bad! nice and simple, it lets the content do the talking.
mate this is a really good blog theme, easy to read… u’ve done well
@Adrian,Sandra,Luke - Thanks guys, I’m glad you enjoy it.
@Kurt - It looks fantastic on your site. A great example of what Kallista can do for a blog.
@Bob - I’d love to see your themes!
Hi-5, It works well.
I come on these sites to check the shit people have to write about, uh because. Not to check out the busy backgrounds that are somewhat distracting & gay at times.
As an example, it works very well on Kurts’ page. I like the fact that it’s basic & simple, but yet it actually does look pretty.
Hey James, layout is clear but a bit boring.. some funky fonts and colour is in desperate need
but it’s good
nice work
Nice one! Clean and straight! Maybe i write something about it in my ZoomLab!
@dom Thanks girlfriend.
@saz Cheers for the feedback.
@Markus Thanks Markus! I’m glad you like it and I’d love it if you wrote about it on ZoomLab :).
its not boring, isnt this what its meant to look like?
save funky fonts and colour for your mum.
Hahaha. You’re right Radman, but I appreciate all feedback.
I love minimalistic designs like this. Makes it easy for the authors to work their magic. It also gives people the ability to “add funky fonts” as Saz suggested. Sky is the limit - a person isn’t boxed in by a single minded design.
Very nice job. I like it.
Looks great James! Way to go!
Yep very basic, but if that’s the point well then you hit the bulls eye
Whats up with the italics down here? No, it’s very basic but good I think.
Very clean and simple!
@Tadd Spot on. Thanks for your comment.
@Kristina Thanks.
@E Gads Thankyou. Decided to give those italics a go. Who knows.
@Tan Cheers.
It’s very… light theme, i don’t like it…
I have to say I really like this…
As more infos added, its still an easy view.
webarter- hey. piss off back to myspace.
Haha, minimal themes aren’t everyone’s flavor and that’s ok.
come back online! i cant remember how to put this on my blog!
ok im just lazy and i’ll figure it out.
Great site.
So many themes get caught up in catching the eye, and looking fancy. Some are very striking. This isn’t one of them, and that is the beauty of it.
When I look at themes I immediately look for a sample to click on to see it, and rarely read. I began scanning your pages and found myself reading content rather than scanning the page for a demo. I may be a little daft, but it took me a while to realize that this IS the theme. How brilliant that a theme can actually draw you with content rather than fancy images and flashy colors. Wonderful Job.
I love clean templates, nice colors pickup, it looks effective. I hope to see more themes like this one.
