The News Theme is one more classic Performancing WordPress theme. The theme intends to mimic the look and feel of a print magazine or newspaper, with paper-like upper and lower edges, which is quite suitable for blogs that want to put forth a newspaper-y type of image (aided by the display of the current date on the masthead).
The color scheme uses subtle shades of grey and blue, with the sidebar standing out with orange tints.
News Theme is a two-column theme with a horizontal navigation bar at the header, and space for details and links at the footer. This gives the site a clean look and feel, with a wide fixed-width main body and a sidebar wide enough to accommodate long link text or banners. The space on the header can also be used for horizontal banners.
The theme was authored by Design Disease in cooperation with Performancing. Support is available at the Performancing theme support forum.
You can see a live preview here.
You can download the theme here.
Update: News Theme has been updated for compatibility with WordPress 2.7 and up. Download the latest version here.

This is a great looking theme! I already downloaded it.
I did notice, though, that the button on the search field is dropped down a few pixels below the actual search field. I am viewing in Safari 3 for Mac.
Nice one! Thanks!

Very nice and clean. Good work! Looks like that image in the post could use a touch of left margin. At my font size the word “performancing” is butting right against the screenshot.

Hello ! The theme is awesome. I put it on my blog but there is problem when I open it with IE – the sidebar does not show properly. Can you suggest a fix? Thanks
That looks pretty cool. Its organized and simple, which I love. I’m thinking about using it, but I’ve already changed my theme three times already. I want to keep the one I have at least for a little while, lol.
Nice. Is it Widget-ready?

I noticed a few issues with this theme when I tried to set it up:
–pages are not displayed on the top row, and when I import code for page titles, they’re all squished together
–subtitle of the blog isn’t shown anywhere
–there’s a login/logout option but no “admin” option
Looks great, though.
looks great theme, please created 3 column theme
