Which Theme Is Better?

{ July 14, 2007 }

I have been searching for a clean 3-column theme for a long time, and I have found one which is quite good in my opinion. It’s an old theme which you have most probably seen it before. Which do you prefer? The old or the new one? Don’t decide right way. Take a longer look. Browse around. And let me know if you like the old or the new theme.

The Old Theme – iTheme

iTheme

The New Theme – Qwilm

Qwilm

If you have any suggestion to improve the current theme, please let me know. For example, a dark color background, a better logo etc. For the logo, I am really bad at working in such things. If you are kind enough and have much free time, make me a logo and buzz me on that. If I choose to use it, I will create a new post crediting you.

Really liking the new theme, has simplicity and keeps everything at a nice level with the double sidebar – meaning users don’t have to trail down the page to oversee your entire sidebar.

Maybe you could do some tidying to the sidebars, but it is generally fine as it is.

Not funky enough but quite clean.
Column for the topic is too small, sided more at left….but well organize.

I like blue better. But this should give this web a new look…

Still wondering which is better. Should I revert to the previous theme or stick with this one?

I personally prefer the blue iTheme one – i think it’s better to look at and bit more distinctive, for my money, the Qwilm theme is a bit too plain in comparison.

I’ve revert it back :P

If you can somehow combine the two template, it would be best… I think the old theme gives your blog more character. So, that’s probably better. :)

Do you mean I should get something like this? Thanks for commenting by the way :)

:bulb: Yes, that would be perfect! In addition, that design will give you more space since it is optimized for a 1024 x 768 screen resolution which most people are using.

wow! I always forget that web(MangoOrange) is vincentchow.net. So similar! Any relationship between this 2 web founder? :D But that web have more people and more active. Dunno why…

I don’t get you Desmond. Did not expect such quick reply from Spluch, did you subscribe to the emails update? I will work the 3 column iTheme out later this weekend to see how it comes out. <.<

i like the 3 column version for some reason. maybe just me. color may be blend but simple and am sure tat can be sorted.

ps. where did u get the 3 column from? how did u make the sidebars side by side. I hv been trying to work that out for my other site.

The new theme is pretty clean, I really like that. Btw, what is the new theme’s name? (I’m thinking of changing my blog layout to 3-column too)

Here’s the link to the 3 column theme – http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/61/qwilm-03/

Called Qwilm

I prefer your current theme. But if you want to have a 3-column theme, you can still use this theme and just use the i3Theme.
