Release of the Jentri theme
The week draws to the end and the weekend beckons allowing us to temporarily forget about the stress and tribulations of work and concentrate on R&R. With the cold weather outside, one way to relax is to curl up in bed or by a fire and immerse yourself into a good book.

Today's offering for 'a theme a day' week is reminiscent of such; for me, it gives off an air of comforting sophistication and provides a lovely canvas for your thoughts and insights to reside. Give a warm welcome to the Jentri theme. Take a look at the demo site and if you find that it's the one for you, head over to the theme page and download it for yourself.
Today's notes
Phew. This one only just made it in1! Unfortunately, my computer froze twice in the middle of releasing the themes2 but it all looks fine now.
Today's design was another one that evolved as the day went on. Initially, it started off looking more cream and blue; however, that the bookish feel was one worth expounding on which, through various twists and turns, led to the one you see now.
Coincidence and perspective
Talking of twists and turns, just as I was polishing up the release of Jentri, Andrea Arbogast3 publicised the release of her latest project. As Andrea notes in her entry, though we worked on the designs seperately and without knowledge of what the other was doing, we had independently used similar design elements in our works.
The other interesting point was that, though there were similarities on a layout level, each site have a totally different look and feel. One thing that I really like about her design4 is the balance that the wonderfully designed logo header brings to the piece. What's makes this pertinent is that this is a good place to start customising the themes that I've released.
Whilst I've designed them to stand well on their own, I think a little bit of work in bringing an identity to your site can work wonders.
Additional notes
The lovely background is based on one of Travis Beckham's SquidFinger creations. I'm sure you'll agree with me that it feels at home in this setting.
- OK, so I lie. I had a whole two minutes to spare:) [back]
- Need to fork out some money for a new machine, methinks [back]
- As an aside, I love the design of Interllectual for it's distinctiveness and expressiveness. [back]
- Actually, there is a lot to like, especially the cool vertical bars on the left [back]

Favourite theme yet - absolutely love it!
Will you be making more themes next week?
I know it is called, “A theme a day week”. But it has been nice seeing what you come up with everyday.
I think I liked “Emire” the most so far. It is, as you said, profesional, calm, and smart, I also like the simplicity of it.
Keep up the good work!
Very elegant, very classy.The dark red color really adds to the air of sophistication.
Phu, I read on another site this was the final design.Isn’t a week 7 days… lol? That means 2 more themes should be coming.
What will I do with my days now? I spent the week hanging around online waiting for you to post these themes everyday.
Back to work I guess lol.
I think I’ll be taking a break after this week:) I might do this again next year though.
There’s one final design coming up (which was intended for yesterday until unforeseen events popped up) so you still have something to wait for:)
[…] Check out Jentri at If..Else, and add it to your theme rotation. It is really well done. […]
[…] Penultimo tema rilasciato è Jentri. Tema a due colonne, dai colori bianco (per la zona degli articoli) e rosso scuro (per la zona del menù laterale). […]
I can’t seem to make the right-hand side of the ‘wrap’ extend further to the right to occupy 3/4 of the screen (as is shown on your screenshot).
On my screen, the white wrap only goes halfway across. I like it very much otherwise.
Any tips?
Thanks,
John
The theme is so perfect and beautiful! But it would be better if you lay the white place on the middle.. If you do that i would kiss you!
I can’t get the sidebar up.

Hi man! Thanks a lot for this theme! I added one right column and now I’m really satisfied with it. A very unique background makes this theme just awesome! Maybe font is a bit too small.
And it looks a bit wrong in the IE 7.
I think I’ve discovered a bug.
On my wordpress.com account I’ve set the options so a visitor’s comment has to be approved before it appears. This setting works fine except if I use the Jentri theme. Then the comment is listed under “Awaiting Moderation” like it’s supposed to, BUT simultaneously it appears on the blog. I’m assuming the Jentri theme is buggy because the exact same blog settings work correctly with other themes.
