Ikarus is my dream of a Wordpress Theme come to life. I’ve spent 3 months developing it and it’s absolutely perfect, with over 2,000+ user selectable variations and options all managed from the admin area. Four (4) homepage layouts (magazine, list, blog and magazine lis), over 10 colors that you can mix and match, left or right layout and tons more.
It’s the most complex programmed theme that will most likely ever be created. It’s my proudest piece of work and I’m glad to give it away free of charge. I’ve included some links in the footer that points back to my personal websites. If you’d like them removed please paypal $30 to webdesign@5shades.com.
I’ve created an exlusive demo page just for Ikarus so that you can witness the full potential of it’s power and flexibility. I’ve also made it terribly easy to customize and fit your needs.
Learn more about this theme from the options in the main menu on the demo page.

My newest addition to a set of amazing themes. Metropolis is an incredibly cool and clean Web 2.0 theme. It’s 3 column, 2 are fully wigitized and a iDtabs section. It’s full css and xhtml valid and tested and working on almost all browsers. I’ve also included some neat social bookmarking shortcuts.
