The Thematic WordPress Theme is an amazing theme, back-end and design wise. First of all, I’m a sucker for dark colors, whitespace, and Georgia, so you can guarantee I fell in love at first sight. Thematic has all that bundled into a professional and classy design.
What Makes Thematic Special?
Even among all those “premium” news and magazine style WordPress themes, I’ve never seen such a complex and also organized back-end. I find it very interesting what Ian has done with it.
Installation & Usage
Like any other theme, Thematic is extremely easy to install. You just place it in the wp-content/themes folder and activate it via the admin panel. There’s also an options panel that allows you to configure some stuff for the theme.

I like how your test server has that most evil of widgets, The Calendar, in a prominent position. I’m also glad I bothered to try and align it to the vertical grid (notice how the the text and rules line up with the main content).
Thanks for featuring my work, WPCandy.
