A white color theme with Retro feel. The theme comes with some decent features enhancements, it allows you to add link to your Facebook page, twitter page, Youtube channel, Flickr page. Ofcourse these can be disabled from the Admin Menu of theme.  Theme also comes with beautiful Random header which adds colors to your theme. You can disable random header completely or you can also add your own banner in the header. That customizable header can be used to place advertisement linking to other page or website. You can use that custom header to make special announcement on your forum and on click you can make it to go to detailed thread / page of your forum. This theme also lets you define your custom message in footer copyright.

Other feature of this theme is its inbuilt Google Plus button, it automatically adds GPlus icon on each page near your "Link Tree / Navigation tree ". You can disable this Google Plus button if you don't want to use it, no coding is required to do it, just do it from Admin Panel.

Also, you can show your own custom random banners, just need to replace themes header images with your own. You can define upto five random images. Since this theme is fluid width theme, you can also set its size as per your need, you can set it to fixed width or variable / fluid width which adjust itself as per screen resolution of client / browser window.

All Features of this theme can be found in :

those are some really cool features with the social networking links and the random header.

Ricky:
Thank you Scribs.

Hope to see you around. I am working on more themes with some unique features.

Viviane:
I've just downloaded your theme, and I love it!  But I'm having trouble with the header.  I disabled the random header because I wanted to put my own banner in, but I can't figure out where I'm supposed to put my banner--what folder, that is--to get it to show up.  I put it in the header folder, the theme folder, the images folder, and it won't show up.  Can you help, please?

Thanks!

Viviane

Ricky:
Hi Viviane, thank you very much for liking my theme.

Using own banner is very easy, upload the image somewhere in your server, like yoursite.com/images folder, now link to your image will be : http://yoursite.com/images/yourimage.png , copy it to Admin --> Current theme --> Give location of your custom banner / image:

But full link there ie. http://yoursite.com/images/yourimage.png
