WordPress Theme Release: InSense

Continuing from our last success with the Blogging Pro theme, we wanted to continue to release themes for WordPress that had a strong sense of design, and so with the help of Design Disease, we have worked on creating InSense, a two column theme with the popular blue and orange color set that the web is known for.
Some rounded edges, some subtle lines, InSense is a very nice looking theme, that would be even easier that our previous theme to modify.
Having such themes created though takes time and money, and so we have gone ahead and added a sponsor to the theme. We want to be up front about this and mention it, as it is not something we feel should be hidden. This sponsorship has allowed us to produce this theme, and will allow us to continue to produce themes for the WordPress community. We hope that you will keep this link intact, but it is not required as part of our Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license.
InSense is Widget ready though the search box is not moveable, and when using widgets, the different areas will not use the nicer icon graphics that we have set up. It is a bit of a trade-off, but we are limited in what we can make the WordPress Widgets code do.
InSense requires no plugins to run and function.
Check out the Demo.

Very pretty! :)
Very nice theme and I like the compromise between the sponsored theme link and the CC license to be able to remove it.
I’d like to appeal to ALL WP theme developers to stop using that ugly WP 0.1 legacy : the big empty space next to each picture embedded in a post.
The CSS float and clear properties have been around for a while now and are easily incorporated in any theme’s stylesheet.
Please ?
Otherwise the design is very nice !
Peter – I don’t know about you, but I hate when theme developers automatically float my image to the left to wrap text around it. Especially since I like putting my images on the right hand side.
It is all about personal preference though, isn’t it?
can somebody tell me why this is showing up when i activate the theme?
“Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in G:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\InSense\header.php on line 67″
thx!
Beautiful work David, that’s a very elegant WordPress theme!
Great design, I plan on using this on a Mac Spoofs site I run, but as I installed it on my test site, I noticed there is a problem when viewing the theme in Safari. The little rounded image on the left side of the footer is no longer there, and is dropped a few pages down, so there is a huge space under the footer, followed by the little footer image. I checked it on the wordpress theme viewer as well, same problem.
I like that Large Normal option for viewing .. I wish more sites had that.
A dark blue color strongly strikes the eyes. Can if a background was to on more warm – looked at oneself much more pleasant
if you receive this error:
“Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in G:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\InSense\header.php on line 67″
change header.php line 4:
by
ok. no html tags here ;]
short tags <? need to be changed to full tags <?php on line 4
yes. pls no tag.
so how do you remove the ad?i cant find the Adcontainer in any files.
It’s a very nice theme, too bad it’s not displaying correctly in IE :(
It does not work well in IE 6.0.29…
Main menu’s hover does worked in Firefox but not in IE…
Hey Alan, which version of IE are you using?
It is loading fine and has no errors in IE for me.
BTW nice template release.
I’ve started using the theme, many thanks. Couple of suggestion for the next release:
1) The category hierarchies are not properly styled.
2) Individual post pages could do with a “prev post/next post” navigation along the top of the entry.
Further feedback:
I’ve personally made the changes outlined above, and a few other minor tweaks like making the font bigger and removing the sponsored links.
In addition, the search bar wasn’t correctly working. Thankfully the site was designed to an open standard, so I just cut and pasted the necessary code from the Kubrick template.
I can confirm that there is minor breakage in IE6, most noticably on the javascript rollover in the nav bar underneath the header. Also, the width of the page is slightly wider, which leads to a misplacement of the rounded corners.
Just noticed something else, my contact page gets distorted in IE6 when switching between normal and large views.
I could always stick a “use firefox” button on the page in an effort to circumnavigate these problems, but I’m loathe to impose viewing conditions on my users.
Wonderful template. I really admire everytime I visit this site.
Keep up the good work.
am i missing something or does this download link just take you to a page where the download is missing?
Hi,
there’s a little mistake with widget “recent comments”. WordPress’ widgets.php adds some style info and the graphic SRightIco.png is drawn over then. I added the following line to style.css to get rid of this:
.recentcomments a { background-image: none !important; }

I love the Theme, but have a problem.
Text will not wrap around images when posting etc… It appears correct in the visual format but is incorrect when posted. ??? I’m clueless as to why this is happening.
