Absynthe ∞
Posted at 1:15 PM on January 5th, 2009
Absynthe is a dark, mysterious theme that utilizes natural textures and surfaces to create a feeling of depth and high contrast. Absynthe utilizes a fully-widgetized sidebar and also has a unique Last.fm footer and Twitter widget design.

This theme utilizes the Last.fm plug-in by Jeroen Smeets (if you don’t have it installed, don’t worry, your site won’t break, it just won’t show the Last.fm stuff) and this theme looks wicked awesome when you use Twitter for WordPress by Ricardo Gonzalez.

Very Cool Theme!
Just noticed when I tried to apply it to a web site that the last.fm footer is no longer working…there was a recent change with the lastfmrecords plugin that it requires and perhaps this is what is causing the issue? the lastfmrecords plugin works in the sidebar widget, but not in the built in footer spot…
just an fyi…if you get this resolved, let me know
thanks

Same problem as matt. The plugin has stopped working in the footer, but still works in the sidebar.
Would be great to get it back.
Am using 1.2 version of the theme. Latest WP and 1.5.3 version of lastfm records.

Help?

Everyone, due to all the requests for updates for this theme and my desire to provide support, I have made quite a few changes and updates to this theme and have posted it on ThemeForest for $15.
I made this decision because I wanted to be able to offer support for the many people using this theme and the best way to do that is to do it commercially.
There is a changelog within this post explaining the updates and a new link to the item on ThemeForest. I understand not all of you will want to pay for a theme you’ve been using for free, and that’s fine too.
I loaded Absynthe 1.5 and it has some issues that I had manually fixed in 1.2. One is the problem with the display of articles on the main page when comments are turned off. The phrase “Comments Off” appears over and beyond the box that is supposed to hold the number of comments when there are comments. I hacked it so that the white comments count box doesn’t appear when comments are turned off on an article.
Another thing I hacked in 1.2 was getting rid of that huge empty space at the bottom when there is no FM plug-in.
I think the other big problem in 1.5 is that the style sheet indents nested unordered lists so deeply that when nested comments are displayed they turn out hugely skinny and vertical.
I’m hoping to get a version of Absynthe that I can run unhacked.
@Kevin I will fix these and re-upload ASAP. Thanks for pointing them out.

Or rather, you saw that lots of people were downloading it for free after Smashing Magazine listed it high up their top 100 free themes for 2009 and decided to make some cash.
Shame.
I’m a web programmer at a web design company. I was working on a client’s site for her music and whatnot and she kept referring to Miley Cyrus’ website [mileycyrus dot com] *shudder* for things such as a gallery. Upon further inspection, I found they’re using a bastardized version of your theme… I hope they payed and agreed not to associate with you… I mean they’ve completely effed it up.
