TanTanNoodles: The Theme

2 Comments
09 Apr

I recently got several requests from people wanting to use the TanTanNoodles theme for their own sites. While I never really had any intention of releasing it to the public, I figure I can at the very least just release what I have. This WordPress theme is literally the best I could do with Photoshop at the time, which is not saying much… it’s basically adding some drop shadows here and there. I did try to add some sort of “noodle” motif thing going in the header, but I could never quite figure out how to make it look nice and not amaturish. Better to not say a word than to sound like a fool right? Same idea here… just keep things simple.

If you do want to use this theme, just make sure to set your expectations for “ease of use” to low and be prepared to do a lot of hacking in PHP. Since this theme is something I developed specifically for TanTanNoodles, there’s going to be lots of stuff hard code everywhere. Oh, and there is absolutely zero documentation available, and I don’t think there will be. So basically, you are 100% on your own if you want to use this theme. I have also provided the original Photoshop file, so you can use that to tweak the colors and change the header to say something other than “TanTanNoodles” :)

Information on how you can download the theme to your own computer can be found at this page, or via the “Toolkit” link in the menu.

    Noodles ARE hard to draw. I’ve struggled with that myself at the day job, we ended up just using a square noodle pot instead of actual noodles. Well done for releasing the theme tho!
