I will be happy if you admit that you were fooled, but I'll be even happier if you say you've been waiting all along for the real deal. Tags are no longer going to be a part of WordPress 2.2, so I changed my mind and the theme is now available for download. Thank you for your patience. Now I give you Wolfgang Bartelme's "dark" theme.
The theme has been tested on WordPress 2.1.3 with Firefox and Safari, may play well with IE6/7 too. It validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.0, and supports the following plugins:
- flickrRSS
- Gravatar
- Ultimate Tag Warrior
- WP-PageNavi
Download the "dark" theme here (v1.01) Please do NOT link to the file directly!
Already using WordPress 2.3 and waved goodbye to UTW? Check the "svn" folder and you'll know what to do.
Update: A small customization kit is available at Bartelme's site.

Wolfgang Bartelme, who brought you the "Fresh" theme, redesigned his site a couple days ago. This again suggests that we now have a chance to use his last design. So here is his "dark" theme for WordPress.
Tested with Firefox 2 and Safari, dropped support for IE6. Featured:
Download the theme: Link Removed, Happy April Fool!

Updated: Latest version v1.2 and a compact version is available.
A WordPress port of Bartelme's Fresh theme as I promised yesterday, is now here. Actually I had been requested by several of my friends to port it long ago. Since Bartelme now allows everyone to use this old design, I filled my buddies' requests and would like to make the port public.
My demo blog is now ready to serve, you can preview the themes there.
This port validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.0, it is ready for plugins Gravatar and Brian's Latest Comments but NOT Widget-friendly (I dislike Widgets!). I've tested it with Firefox / IE6 / Safari.
There are few items in the sidebar/bottom area but you can walk a dinosaur there as long as you wish to. And you'll probably need to change some settings in the admin center in order to get a neat look.
Please know that the structure and usage of WordPress are pretty different from those of Bartelme's CMS, therefore I thought it would be stupid to make it exactly the same as how his site looked like.
Now you can download the theme (v1.2).
Updated: A compact version with widgets support is available. Download Fresh-Compact (v1.2).
