Sorry, but there are better ways to do this now. This project has been deprecated and is no longer in development. This page will be kept online for archival purposes and in case anyone is still interested in the project despite being no longer maintained.

The “Aqua Vaccinium” WordPress theme was originally intended for use on a clients site, but they have since decided to go with a red theme and use Dreamweaver (ick!) instead of WordPress, so we have decided to release this theme to you for free.

Aqua Vaccinium features a smooth blue and green theme and has a prominent Suckerfish dropdown menu built in (no plugin needed).

Theme files

We’ve tried to keep the theming as simple as possible to allow for easy customisation. There are only five template files, plus images, javascript and css files. I’ve included the original build file for the logo (PSD format), so you can edit it to match your own site name.

The main dropdown menu is set to display categories by default, but you can insert other pages into your dropdown if you like (leave a post in our themes forum if you need help with this).

The blue section (below the main menu) displays either the blog description or the category description depending on what page you are on. If the blog or category description is missing, this will be left blank.

Naming

The word Aqua came from the mixture of the blue and green tones of the design. The name Vaccinium is the genus for a variety of berries including blue berries which we baked a pie for in honour of the new theme.
