Free Fluid WordPress Themes and CSS Templates

Having being involved in the web design game, I have quite a few designs loitering on the hard drive. Recently I converted these into fluid-width and fluid-height CSS templates and later into WordPress themes, which are now available for free use under the GPL. All of the templates/themes come with a font-resizing bar, which will increase the size of the site for those who have poor peepers and for general gee-whiz purposes. The bar is similar to the one above, under the RSS button.

All of the WordPress themes come widgitised.

These are pretty clean & professional templates. I love how they are not cluttered and how the flow is intuitive.

How easy could you add drop-down menu capabilities to the top navigation w/ the same type of menu styles (or similar)?

If you can do this and it still looks great, I would be interested in using one of the themes. Send me a link/email if you get this in place.

Also, the "font" adjustment link could use some work. Specifically, you might consider adding an up/down arrow on each side representing where to click since it is kind of a guessing game now where you should click (because you can make the font bigger or smaller).

Great design overall though.

Thanks for your comment. I did not design these. I just did the HTML, CSS and JS.

It would be relatively easy to add a drop down menu to the menu at the top, but I don't have the time to do that right now.

The font resizing bar is a brilliant concept.

Is this a plugin or a feature that can also be added to other themes?

David Replied at 9:04 AM on 4 Apr 2009

Yes. Its built on a JavaScript library called Mootols. I will probably release the code for a few different ways you can do it. Problem is that it also requires you build sites in a certain way. Although it may be possible to mimic this site architecture.

Hey Dave, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog and thanks for your efforts to translate my site into english with Google. I am glad you liked my idea to combine Esoterics and SEO ;-) ... if you like to - maybe we can start a cool project together ... maybe some nice free esoterical wordpress theme? Greets, Marcus

Thanks David, I've always used free themes in the past, and these ones look really good, but I've decided to finally go for a good reliable paid theme that does all the hard work for me.

Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog regarding Chitika, I'm now trying to see how I can get that to work.

Is there a reason you haven't put an RSS button on any of these themes? It would be a nice addition.

David Replied at 6:50 AM on 5 Apr 2009

Good point. I am new to all this, so there are probably a few things that could be brushed up.
