Retro Theme Released

Retro WP Theme

RETRO. Back to a time when mainframes ruled the computing world and amber and green CRT’s were the only access to these beasts. Retro is based on the Sandbox theme with the Blueprint CSS framework added to give it a grid design if one chooses to modify the theme to their liking. Enjoy and as always if you have questions please comment below.

Nice theme … I may use this on my consulting business website.

Did you ever program on a mainframe? I’ve been doing so since 1979… good ol’ COBOL.

Very nice. Tell you what I’d like to see on the comments-forms: black background with the nice green as a single underline … kinda like entry-forms on the old mainframes as well :) Text would be green of course. That would be a nice touch :)

If more definition is needed for the input-boxes, then perhaps a dotted (or solid) border in that nice green … just thinking out loud.

Very nice theme :)

Would there be a problem with the file? I’ve tried many times but couldn’t manage to unzip it.

@Matt – you should be able to download and unzip now. I had a plugin conflict that was messing up the downloads across my site. Please give it another try.

I love this theme Kerry, I am a great fan of old style computers and command promt. Sometimes I tweet via the command promt.

Just digged it up!

Best Regards
