This is my first attempt at a Wordpress theme. It is heavily based on the default 1.5 theme (Kubrick) with a few minor changes. These are:

1. The main one is to make it resize with the browser size as I don't tend to like fixed width pages. I would have liked to keep the graduated background image but it seems that with current CSS you can't have resizable background images. I also lost some of the rounded edges due to moving away from images to CSS but I hear that CSS3 may have that option.
2. I also added support for the theme_switcher plugin which, if present and activated, will display a list of available themes for users to select. The selected theme should also be highlighted.
3. If you also install my context_list_pages plugin you'll get what I think is a better listing of your "pages" in the sidebar. If you don't have that plugin activated it will simply use the default listing algorithm.
4. If you change the image /wp-content/themes/darkmuse/images/branding.jpg it will be used in the left of the title bar. If your browser supports CSS2 properly then an image bigger than 200x100 will be resized to that maximum. Smaller images won't be stretched. Although if you're using IE the image will be resized to 200x100 no matter what due to a little "hack" in the CSS. I'm sure you can work out how to do that if you want to. If not, ask.

I'm not convinced that the whole sidebar is to my liking yet so that may change in future versions, or maybe I'll make it customizable through the admin pages. For now though, lets just take baby steps. Download my plugins and themes here. edit: I've also just noticed that I need to add the sidebar into the single post viewing template. Why isn't it there in the default theme?
