“Gallery”: free WordPress theme – good start for a WP arcade site

Gallery is a free WordPress theme made by Chris Wallace and it’s a free, GPL-compatible gallery-style WordPress child theme built on the Thematic framework.

Gallery

Thematic is a free, open-source, highly extensible, search-engine optimized WordPress Theme Framework featuring 13 widget-ready areas, grid-based layout samples, styling for popular plugins, and a whole community behind it. It’s perfect for beginner bloggers and WordPress development professionals.

The author says Gallery is extremely flexible and can be used as a starting point for many different types of websites: design gallery, book review site, e-commerce storefront (with the appropriate plugins), inspiration gallery, and so much more… maybe such as a WP arcade site?

The theme has recently been updated (version 1.1 is out at the time I am writing) and among its features we can find:

- WordPress 2.7 compatible
- Built on the Thematic framework
- jQuery hover effects
- ‘Save to Delicious’ link
- ‘Tweet This’ link
- Flexible footer widget area
- WP-PostRatings integration
- Contact Form 7 integration
- BuySellAds plugin integration

Since I am not happy about Triqui layout and I am looking for an interesting theme to design my WP arcade site, I am going to make all necessary changes to the theme in order to make it work perfectly with my MochiAds plugin.

    I can’t wait to see your version of it

    i am planning on writing a script to download zip_url, unzip it and use local swf’s

    after that i will modify the theme to view both game, scoreboard, rating and ads etc.

    it would be accelerating to see your theme

    good luck

    When do you think we will see this upgrade to Triqui?

    I really like your blog. I too like Gallery theme, but there is a small modification i’m looking for. I don’t like small 125×125 thumbs in the theme. I want to modify it to bigger thumbs like http://mixcss.com/ I tried editing CSS file of gallery but a misalignment occurs. As you are the expert, can you guide me how to modify that,

    Thanks a lot
