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

May 11, 2009 • WordPress by Emanuele Feronato • 9 Comments

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

    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
