For the past few nights, I’ve been working on a new WordPress theme built upon Sandbox. The Sandbox is essentially a theme for themers since it’s been written up so that it is easy to skin using CSS. As you’ll see, I’ve only had to touch the CSS to create my result which is a testament to how well the Sandbox is coded.
Without further ado, I present to you Midnight:
Screenshots
Installation
To install Midnight, place the sandbox directory into your /wp-content/themes folder. Go into the Presentation section of your WordPress Admin panel and you should see a theme called Sandbox. Click it and your blog’s theme will have changed to Midnight.
Credit
I’d like to give thanks to PBets who graciously allowed me to use his photo “Moonlit Sky” as a background for this theme. I’d also like to thank the authors behind The Sandbox who have created a magnificent theme that can be skinned through CSS. Magnificent markup.
Other Notes
Like The Sandbox, you are free to make any modifications to my design as you wish. However, I request that you leave my name and linkback in the footer. If you have any other questions, contact me.
The theme displays properly under pretty much every browser except IE6. IE6 may display the header graphic weird because I used two PNGs in this theme.
Looks good. DO u have any other ones youve done posted up anywhere?
Unfortunately no Addy, this is my first WordPress theme release

Would this theme work on wordpress.com hosted blogs? Since it runs on the sandbox theme? If so, how would you use it on there?
Mike, I think (keyword is think) you might be able to get away with nearly reproducing this theme on a wordpress.com hosted blog.
According to their FAQ, there looks to be a possibility to edit CSS if you upgrade. However, you’ll need to also find alternate hosting for the graphics included and then edit the CSS to accomodate for the new URLs.
