To celebrate the launch of our new site, we’re releasing our own free premium wordpress theme for all to use. The WP Contempo theme is a lightweight, elegant Wordpress theme perfect for almost any application.
Details
The WP Contempo theme is ready for use right out of the box. Just download the file, upload to your themes folder and activate. The only thing you will need to do is edit the logo. A PSD logo source is included in the /images/ folder. You can also replace it with plain text.

Thanks airweb. Now that WP Contempo theme has reached 500 downloads, I will be creating and releasing a new alternate version within the next week.

This is an awesome theme, Thanks for creating and sharing it.
I just wondering is there any way to make the text display the same size in both IE, and firefox though? for some reason the text seems much smaller in Firefox.
Many thanks

Great question Martin. In my Firefox and Internet explorer the text looks pretty much the same size, and I just checked Safari too and it also looks about the same. I’m wondering if maybe your Firefox is displaying the page at less than 100% zoom. You can check by going to view -> zoom, and either zoom in or reset the zoom. Hopefully that will clear it up.

Hi Sam
Thanks for such a speedy and helpful responce..
I just tried resetting the zoom, but it’s still the same, may be my browser though, strangely though it does it on your site also (at least on my comp)
The post content text is fine in both browsers, but the sidebar text in IE is huge, compared to in Firefox.. it’s not a major issue and it doesnt detract from the funcionality of the theme at all, its an awesome theme, but just one of those strange things, and it’s makes it a bit tricker to customise I guess.
I will keep looking into also to see whats happening..
Thanks

Ok I figured out exactly what you’re talking about and it’s a really easy fix. Open up style.css and look about halfway down the page for this code:
#col-right-sm {
font: 1.2em;
}
Delete it completely and it should work fine.
I was in a rush to release this theme and the CSS still needs some cleanup work. I’m going to be releasing an alternate version soon and I’ll get everything fixed at that time and release an update for the original as well.

Hey That worked!.. Thanks Sam:)
yeah, I was just adding some styling to the image align classes etc, but I noticed certain things seem to be displaying differently (as is often the case) in the different browsers, it’s a bit of nightmare with all the different browsers etc.
eg, I added a border to the image-align left and it shows up nicely with the white padding before the border around the imagine, (in firefox)
but in IE, its just a thick grey border, as though its ignoring the padding for some reason.
Getting there though, and that deffo sorted out the sidebar. so Thanks for that, and thanks again for this awesome theme..it will take me a while to get to where I want it so I expect I will download the new release when Im ready to go live.
Gonna spend tonight having a tweak, thanks for the amazing support too.

Hello! We love your theme and want to make it available to our university community on our WPMU site. Since they don’t have access to edit the theme files, I was wondering how can we enable the theme to display the plain text blog title, without showing the WPContempo logo? As administrators, we can edit the theme before we add it to the system, but I don’t quite know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks a bunch!

Hi Michelle,
This will require a little bit of custom coding. I can change it for you and send you an updated copy of the theme. I’ll email you with further details.
