So, there was this thread here with a whole raft of theme requests, and rather than wait forever for Matt to decide they are sufficiently blue and grey for his taste I said I’d take a look at porting them to custom CSS.
OK, so X-blog probably is sufficiently Kubricky to get installed here, but I’m a sucker for the brushed metal and the cute little buttons. (I don’t have a Mac, but I do have an IceWM skin on my Linux laptop to make it look like one. I also stuck one of the Apple stickers I got with my iPod on the case. It is pitiful.)
Naturally this is only relevant to wordpress.com users since if you have your own install, you can use the original theme. All you need to do with this one is pick the ‘no style’ Sandbox skin, then copy and paste the contents of x-blog.txt into your custom CSS editor. That’s it. You don’t even have to upload the images because I’m hosting them here.
I’ve tested it in Firefox and IE on the PC, but ironically I have no idea how it fares on a Mac. Any glitches you find are probably mine, so please don’t pester the original author.

My, my you’re certainly distinguishing yourself as a busy little bee, aren’t you?
Kubrik has a very clean (some might say boring) appearance. Admittedly it is enhanced by the silvery brushed metal look. The little buttons are really cute even though I can’t tell what they are actually used for, as I can barely see them in this tiny picture.
The instructions even sound easy enough for a non-techie like me to try it but it’s - blue. Well, I’m here to tell you girlfriend that I’m deeply disappointed that the only choice is the cold boy colour - blue. Did they bribe you with BBQ or what?
I’m might have gone for green but I’m really thinking that a warm “rose coloured” option with brass coloured brushed metal would rectify the colour imbalance and establish equality. So, what say you to that?
Girly templates are definitely my main priority, don’t worry. This is just to get the boys onside before I bombard them with pinks, reds, oranges and browns
Seriously, though, the range here is going to be pretty eclectic and I will probably be the only person in the world to like it all.
i love those decorations!
