Introducing Modern Clix: A free Wordpress theme

It took me almost a week to simplify this design (see the previous discussion) and test it: I never thought that releasing a Wordpress theme could be so difficult and time consuming.

Modern Clix

Modern Clix, inspired by Charly García’s “Clics Modernos”

So here it is. Modern Clix is a minimal blog theme inspired in the Swiss Style of Design: It sports the trusty Arial/Helvetica pair, an ingenous grid, a generous use of whitespace for better readability and a strong focus in typography.

Download it here (146 KB). Or view a live demo in a real Wordpress installation.

Creating this theme was certainly stressful, but most of all it was real fun, so I’m planning to release more Wordpress themes in the near future. Keeping a balance between aside projects and the daily work is a goal for me in this 2009!

Thanks to Marina Torchiari for all the hard work on beta testing this theme!

No need to thank, it is always a pleasure to have the opportunity to test things that nice!!! I am sure this theme will be a hit.
Congrats!!!

simply awesome and very useable. Thank you a million

I have installed the theme and customized twitter and the header per as your instructions but everything is still as default, any idea on a solution?

sorry about the above everything works perfect lt just needed time before it was refreshed on the site. how stupid of me. Would be possible by any chance to add a home/blog/journal page link on the top along with the pages in order to return to the top page? thank you

buen laburo… ¿cómo se implementa lo de los calificativos para los cd? o esa función no está incluida en esta versión… saludos.

laurent – The theme is easily customizable, you can add a new page in Wordpress to link to the home. The page title is linked, anyway.

Alejandro – Lo de los CDs es una customización muy específica, tuve que simplificar el theme y dejar afuera esa función para poder liberarlo.

Gracias. Felicidades del vuelta.

thank you Rodrigo I’ll give it a try.

Hello Rodrigo, as you can see on my blog I write in Japanese, and portion of the text gets cut off on the right margin, which category of post content do I have to modify in the CSS in order to correct this, thank you very much indeed for helping,

Hi,
when I switch from default dynamic link structure (blog/?p=14) to static(blog/title), there are no images loading in neither the body section or the side bar. Can I fix it ?

thanks

Hey man!
Thanx for the theme…. I’m using it on my new blog and it’s easy to adjust.
Although I have to finetune it a bit to my likings, i’m already quite satisfied.
I see you are a typographic-addict I can recommend the documentary “Helvetica”. Send me a message if you can’t find it.

your theme is really my favourite of them all, but users that access my page seem to get this twitter API window asking to login, I know you can cancel it and close the window but i understand it can beirritating is there a way to turn it off without deactivating the twitter feeds on the asides?
thank you for any hints

Hi, Rodrigo
If I wanted to increase the overall wrapper to 1100px, what should I do? I tried to change the file grid-900.css but with no success.

thanks!

hola, tu tema esta muy bueno… pero me asalta una duda, como es que pones la foto como a la derecha y abajo del menu, puse una foto y me quedo cortada y no ala derecha

saludos y gracias

Hermoso theme al que pienso darle uso.
Una pregunta: Al poner un titulo largo al post (de dos lineas) en la linea superior no aperece completo el texto. Como puedo solucionar esto?.
Saludos.

Hey Rodrigo,

As i am a designer i find very hard a theme that i like from all perspectives. And this is it! I found it! It’s Modern Clix. :)
Thanks for making this theme available for everyone.

I installed the 2.7 theme on wordpress 2.8 and seems to work, although i am not sure how to change twitter account.
Anyway, let me know when you plan to launch a new version of it, i would love to try it!
Is this the new version? http://media1.smashingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/images/type-layouts/experimental/

thanks,
Dumitru

Dumitru, yes it is. To change the Twitter account, please check this post with more info.

Thanks for writing such an elegant theme. I hope you don’t mind that I’ve changed the font-family settings, a little… I’m a little too addicted to serif ‘faces… I hope you don’t think it looks terrible!

Would you please tell me about various language versions of your theme?

Then the new reliase?

Thanks! Great looking theme, one of the best I’ve seen so far. I am currently adapting it to use for a cafe review site here: http://www.frshgrnd.com

Hi, I love your Modern Clix wordpress theme, and am trying to download it for my own personal blog.
I wanted to let you know of an issue there seems to be with the download.
When i download the zip file from your site (ive tried various links), the file downloads however cannot be opened, it shows that the zip file is corrupted (ive made sure its not my PC thats the prob)!
Thanks

Strange. It works right fine here.

I’m having the same problem as LD–the zip file is corrupted.

If you’d be nice enough to email it to me, I’d really appreciate it. Your theme is beautiful.

Thanks!

If this theme supported threaded comments, it would be perfect …

Is there a fix for the titles of my posts getting cut off on the right side if they are longer? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I had the same problem as Tom

Warning: fopen(/home/lilkim/banchanterroir.com/blog/wp-content/themes/modern-clix/style.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/lilkim/banchanterroir.com/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3598

and then it said i had a broken theme – need stylesheets

Hermoso theme, Rodrigo.

Pero igual que otros, no llego a instalar.

mala onda..

Fix for the Warning: fopen(), problem!

I’m no code guy, so I apologize if i explain this wrong.

For some reason, the install created a series of subdirectories: wp-themes/modern-clix/modern-clix/modern-clix…

I just copied all the files from the last directory and copied them to the first. Fix.

Now someone who understands code can fix the problem for real.

Hi Rodrigo, I am trying to upload your beautiful Modern Clix theme, but the upload doesn’t work; I get a message saying the css style sheet is missing. Any suggestions on how to get round this? Thank you.
