I decided yesterday that I wanted to create a Tumblr theme. I’ve been using tumblr a lot recently, and exploring other people’s tumblelogs. I love seeing what everyone is posting, but I really don’t see too many people customizing their layouts. I thought it would be nice to add at least one more option to the list of the current themes.
So today I created this theme. I want everyone to be able to use it, so I’ve made sure it’s very simple to set up.
tumblrtheme.txt
Just copy and paste that text file above into the text field that appears under Custom in your Settings. I’ve made all the colors customizable with the tumblr color selector below the theme selection.
Here’s a preview of what it will look like:

If you decide to use this theme, please let me know, and drop me an email or leave a comment right here.
Hey, Jonathan, I am willing to make your theme for you. For freeee! :D. Just go to my website (click on my name) and use the contact form. I would love to help you.
I’m using it. Looks pretty good, although I’m not too impressed with the dirty.png background
@w8in my idea for dirty.png was to give the background some texture while still letting the user pick their color. sorry you don’t like it
Thanks for the free theme – installed and using. Nice work – saved me the time… :)
Hey, just wanted to let you know I’m using the theme with a couple minor alterations. Good work :)
Hey Evan, I’m using the theme while I learn how to create my own. Maybe I could contact you in the future for some tips/help? Thanks!
thanks…
i’m using it..
but it don’T look the same like on the picture…
hey..i want to use it..it looks really cool.thnx
Hey, I’m using your theme and liking it, but there’s one thing I’d like to change and can’t figure out. If I post an image and set a click through link, the image doesn’t come out as having a link through your theme. I’ve combed through the CSS, but with my limited knowledge I can’t figure out which line to change. Thanks!
Yes, I’m having the same problem as Mike above. I’d like to be able to have a click through link on my pictures but it isn’t working. Do you know what code we could add for this? Thanks!!!!!!
@Mike and Lauren check out some of my newer themes that do support click through links. I’ve released a few recently that do.
I just added this theme you created to my new Tumblog. Love. It. Thanks
Thank you for making something that everyone can work with!

posted on May 26, 07:10 PMI really want my own custom theme. I have an drawn design on paper but porting that to the actually website seems like a difficult task for a regular person. It would be nice if you maybe made a simple guide on making/designing a custom theme. Maybe that will help out more people to make their own themes instead of using the default ones like most use.
