Wordpress Theme : Minimalissimplistic
(click to enlarge)

A Simple Theme for Wordpress …

Minimalissimplistic is a theme for Wordpress that has the following features :

  • Lightest layout : few SQL queries, no image, easy on resources and bandwidth
  • Elastic design : mouse scroll + control = everything resizes in harmony
  • Did I mention it’s minimalist ?
  • Yet nice. You’ll love it. Ok, like it. Anyway I promise you won’t hate it.

… but more than a simple Theme

Minimalissimplistic was made to serve as an example of what Wordpress Theme Toolkit makes possible in just a few lines of code : through an admin menu, you can configure several things to suit your liking :

  • Overall width of the layout
  • Menu alignment (left hand or right hand)
  • Text color
  • Background color
  • Optionnal “Aside” category
  • … and more

The point here is not to show how cool these features are (this is pretty basic stuff :), but how simply I’ve implemented them into the theme thanks to Wordpress Theme Toolkit.
Indeed, adding an admin menu to the theme and writing functions to handle options required … 10 lines to edit. Find out about Wordpress Theme Toolkit and the potential of this tool for Theme authors.

You’ll find everything that was needed to create the admin menu in Minimalissimplistic in the theme file functions.php. Look at this file … and be amazed by its simplicity.

OK, I want to try this theme

Sure ! Go ahead my friend. Get the following file and extract it in yourblog/wp-content/themes (relative path “minimalissimplistic” included in archive). Then, go to the admin area of your blog and activate the theme. Ready ?

Download Minimalissimplistic ! (or just view zip content if you’re curious)

    Hi and thank you for this nice theme!
    there seems to be some problem when trying to open the zip with the mac os x (my v.10.5.6) archiving tool though.. dunno what it is but it complains about a forbidden action (directly translated from swedish). no biggy since 7zX has no problem unpacking it!

    @David
    Try right clicking on the file and choosing “FlashGot Link” to download (You need to have Flash Get installed as your download manager with the “shell” access allowed when you install Flash Get – Most marketers use Flash Get anyhow). Usually works when a straight download corrupts the downloaded files. cheers. Rox
