Description :
Gotham News is a clean and elegant news theme with a focus on creating a blank canvas with a strong structure to display your own personalized news, and broadcast it to the world.
By the way, if you don’t already know Gotham City is the city where Bruce Wayne roams at night assuming the secret identity of one Dark Knight Batman.
Although the fictional city and this theme share a name, there’s no other similarities. The city may have dark alleys and notorious villains but this theme has none of those features. Instead this theme is presented in a sparkling white background with shades of blue and grey. It does look like a very good news theme, there’s so many ways to highlight the news, through featured content, chronological listing, category, archives and most popular posts.
Theme Features:
- Built-in option to center or left-align (view left-aligned demo here) the layout by only clicking one box in the backend;
- Integrated Theme Options (for WordPress) to tweak the layout, colour scheme etc. for the theme;
- Automatic Image Resizer, which is used to dynamically create the thumbnails and featured images;
- Custom Page Templates for Archives, Sitemap & Image Gallery;
- Built-in Gravatar Support for Authors & Comments;
- Integrated Banner Management script to display randomized banner ads of your choice site-wide; and
- Widgetized Sidebars;
- Tabview widget on the sidebar.
What do I think about this theme?
This theme looks nice but it does not look much like a news theme except for the big featured story and several other featured articles. As with most news theme (which always try to cram as much content into the front page), the main page looks slightly congested to me. Besides the featured articles are listed vertically, making the front page a lengthy and too stretched out to my liking. I imagine not many people would scroll all the way down to read all the news unless the site is really interesting. Other than that, this theme is a beauty just like all other themes desinged by WooThemes.
