Kippis is a very flexible theme.
It features up to three columns. Two sidebars, or one, or no sidebar at all.
You can optionally have both sidebars on the same side of the main content area.
You can enable/disable the sidebars separately, depending on the type of page (regular, single post, page, and gallery).
User defined width. It can be anything, from a few pixels (which would be quite silly) up to thousands.
Support for all smartphones.
All colors are user defined, e.g. the main areas, widgets, headings, links, the menus, and more. No need to edit style.css.
All areas can have user defined fonts. Again, without editing the style.css file.
Custom background images for the body element and the header.
Use your own favicon, if you wish.
Separate settings for mobile devices.
Up to four footer areas (like sidebars, but at the bottom).
Supports two menus that you can put above or below the header and/or footer.
Author pages feature author description, gravatar, number of posts, and more.
Adds two more options, Spam and Delete, to the standard Edit link next to every comment.
Includes a "Featured Post" widget, to show excerpts of posts and pages in the sidebars.
Kippis is currently available in these languages: English, Swedish, Spanish, German, Italian, and French.

You might also want to try the 'Kippis Featured post' widget. 1. A click on the icon at the top left of 'Theme Options' will take you to the Kippis site, where you'll find the manual. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Are there any frequently asked questions? = No, you keep coming up with new ones. :-) == Screenshots == * http://birchware.se/wordpress/wp-content/themes/kippis/screenshot.png * http://birchware.se/wordpress/wp-content/themes/kippis/screenshot-1.jpg Default settings. * http://birchware.se/wordpress/wp-content/themes/kippis/screenshot-2.jpg Changed sidebar widths, and no search box. * http://birchware.se/wordpress/wp-content/themes/kippis/screenshot-3.jpg Changed header image, and both sidebars to the right. * http://birchware.se/wordpress/wp-content/themes/kippis/screenshot-4.jpg Just one sidebar. * http://birchware.se/wordpress/wp-content/themes/kippis/screenshot-5.jpg No sidebars. == Changelog == = 1.14 = * The width of the content area is no longer necessarily dependant of the header image, i.e. you can have a small header image and a wide site, if you wish. * The CSS code was generated at every page load.
