New Theme - Survival Game

I decided to make a third version of my Bleedin’ Gums Murphy theme with Mirai Nikki’s Gasai Yuno as the focal point. Unlike the original versions, this theme has a fancy pants accent font, a subtle background pattern, and optional grayscale images. Please note that these screenshots do not do the sidebar gif justice. View the live preview to see it in action.

A full list of this theme’s features and installation instructions can be found on the preview page. Message me if you have any questions or comments about the design, and visit my website for more themes!

New Theme - Bleedin’ Gums Murphy

I realize that this is an inopportune time to showcase a new theme, but it’s been so long since I made one that I couldn’t hold it in. Because this is such an inopportune times, apologies in advance if you see this post again tomorrow. But without further ado, for the first time since September, I present to you two new themes! I named it Bleedin’ Gums Murphy because the points remind me of teeth, and for some reason that’s the first thing that came to mind. It’s not particularly fitting. But whatever.

Light: Preview | Code

Theme Features:

  • Customizable accent, font, and background colors
  • Changeable sidebar, including two optional extra links

New Theme - BMO 1.0

I wanted to make a BMO version of my Cornered 2.0 theme since the shape of the layout reminds me of the shape of BMO…sorta. I plan to make a black and white version using a different theme format and a gif from BMO Noire soon, so stay tuned for that!

New Theme - I’m Curious!

I don’t normally attempt the whole “soft and pretty” thing, but I thought I’d give it a try with my new Rectangles! theme as the base. The gif is from the first five seconds of the first episode of Hyouka, hence the title. But since it’s just a flower, non-fans could use it too.

Theme Features:

  • Optional grayscale images
  • Option to hide photo captions
  • Customizable 150x170px sidebar image
  • Option to add up to four custom links

New Theme - Rectangles!

These themes don’t have as many color options as my previous themes for various reasons, but I think the subtle gray color schemes will suit many of you. I will probably be making colored-but-monochromatic versions with more elegant fonts within the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled for those.

Dark Version: Preview | Code
Light Version: Preview | Code

Theme Features:

Installation instructions can be found on the preview page, but feel free to message me with any questions.

P.S. Yes, I expect you to read the theme’s title in Patrick Star’s voice.

New Theme - Bubba

I have been a lean, mean, theme-making machine lately. Even though the colors and images are fully customizable, I made two versions for those of you who want a theme that’s ready to go. The second version was my attempt at manliness since I couldn’t help but put pink in the first version. But CMYK is classic, c’mon.

  • Customizable navigation
  • 130x130px changeable sidebar image
  • Fancy pants link transitions

New Themes - Sting and Ryuk

Now that I have my anime blog, I figure making anime-themed alternatives for my basic themes might be a good way to reach a wider audience. Maybe. I don’t know. IT’S WORTH A SHOT.

Theme updates! Of course, I wouldn’t be Gabi if I didn’t finalize a theme when there’s an error in the code. Sadly, I put the block for photosets in twice. The fix was simple enough, but the Tumblr Theme Garden is poop so the one-click install won’t work until they review the entire theme. So for now, the code will have to be placed manually. Preview | Code Instructions can be found on the preview page. The theme includes over 20 customizable elements, so you can easily change the colors to your liking. You can view an alternate color scheme on my profile.

I realized that the set-up of my two most recent themes is similar to the set-up of one of my favorite layouts from the Myspace days, so I cleaned that ancient puppy up and converted it for Tumblr. Vector and coding and everything by me. Go nuts. Preview | Code

I made a darker version of my Swell theme for those of you who prefer to keep your blog more somber. I mean, I still had to use pink because designs by Gabi without pink are like shiny Pokemon. A.K.A. they exist but you don’t see them very often. But it is grey therefore it is dark. Preview | Code

Yes, I really made a new theme. A good one. Well, I mean, I added more elements (styled answer posts, tags, album covers) this time around, which I think elevates it above my other designs. The heart border looks a little weird with my profile picture, but it should look spiff with most images. I placed it on my own blog, but I can’t seem to get the cufon to work with endless scrolling. So…watch out for that if you use it. I still can’t decide on which element I would prefer. Install & Preview.
