I’m happy to present to you, “Motion,” a dashing new theme inspired by movement and film. Bursting with style and options, Motion is a clean, colorful, and charismatic new theme.
Motion combines color and clean lines to give your content character without hindering consumption. Aside from great design, the theme has some pretty interesting features. The menu shows both categories and pages, in separate locations, allowing your visitors to choose how they’d like to navigate your site.
There is also a really nice widget area that acts a little bit different than most other widget areas. It’s the “header” widget area – you can use it for intro text, a link to your RSS feed, or anything you want your users to see right away.
Last, but definitely not least, is the footer. It’s big, clean, and widgetized. By default you have Links, Pages, and Archives – but it’s all up to you, customize the footer however you’d like.
Check out Motion on your own WordPress.com blog! Just login and visit Appearance -> Themes
Motion was designed by 85ideas and is available for .org users too.

it’s AWESOME i wanna get it!
Very snazzy and modern. Great layout too. Love it!
woohoo! i love it! its what my blog looks like now. I was looking through the themes and found it – and I was thinking how did I miss this beauty. But now I realised I got it fresh of the press. GREAT!
epic stuff Noel.
Great theme. Would work great with just a plain white background as well
Creative, refreshing, unique
Finally, after all the disappointment with new themes, here is one that I love. Wonderful work! Kudos.
Also second Jabob’s request for the ability to remove the categories from the top. Then, it would be perfect for me.
YA the themes are really cool !!!!!!!!!
Wow!!! very nice theme…Great job buddy
I liked this theme but I wish for more themes in WordPress for photoblogging, maybe you can come up with a few……Thanks!
This is a great theme, but there is a bug using the picture gallery in wordpress. When you go to an attachment page for a picture it only shows the cropped version of your photo, and you can’t click on it to see the full picture. Example here: http://awesomewallpapers.wordpress.com/2010/02/09/nature-wallpaper-set-21/the_sky_above/ Fix that, and its perfect. Also, how do you have the sidebar in the pages too?
Thanks!

Well…. okay.
I like it. Mainly I like the colors, although I don’t really like white text all the time for reading.
Bright lime text on a black background is okay, reminds me of the old green screen monitors I used to use.
This theme looks really good for images, and critiques of images.
I’d probably us it if I were posting lots of images and very little text.
Or videos and a few paragraphs about them.
nighsssse [nice]
well done
how long did it take you to put this together?!
years i guess
all the best
Just want to say “great theme”, thanks
Hi Noel
Thanks for the updates made to Motion. I’ve started using it and it’s fabulous. 🙂
Just another bit of feedback.
The post author is displayed on the front page — but when you navigate to the page of a particular post, there is no author displayed.
Cheers
It’s great to have selection, choices, and WordPress keeps getting better!
Makes me happy to see such good work put into such a fine product that is available to so many. Keep it up!
Nice theme… will give it a try soon
At this level I feel the new theme is better ! I love wordpress too much. Always adding new them with innovating ideas ! keep it up !
Great job buddy 🙂
keep it up
May have to give that profile a whirl, looks pretty cool.
wonderful theme
Nice theme but I like having a header (image).
If I change the theme of my blog, will the widgets and pages still remain intact?

I like this theme, too bad I just changed my theme last week! Otherwise, I would definitely go for this.
Btw, I think it woulod be great if you could design a theme which bloggers can upload their own custom background.
I love this theme! The only problem I have with it is the Tags at the top and the Links at the bottom of the page. I don’t want my Friends and links down there, I’d rather have them on the sidebar. I can’t figure out how to change it though :s
I am in love!!! This is the theme I’ve been waiting for…everything about it is perfect.
JACOB – I have many categories too, but what I’m doing is consolidating them into a few main categories and then related subcategories…when you do that, the category bar at the top of the theme turns into a drop down menu when the mouse hovers over it, allowing readers to see all your subcategories too. Looks very slick and professional!
Thank’s you are a chief
awesome theme! just it doesn’t work with what is about! but i’d use it somewhere else!
I’m diggin the circles.
Oh no! the change you made to make the galleries work in this theme just reverted back. (Probably the wordpress downtime ?) Could you change it back. Here is my original bug post:

i would like to know if there is anyone out there that can assist me in getting my outreach ministry started. i just want to be there for others as Christ is there for us. providing and showing unconditional love. educating others in the matters of the world and the Heart of God.
im using it and i love it but i’m having some issues with Categories. It will only show a few and uncategorized posts are showing up in a category called 18 which i think is from a tag. Also the drop down menu’s aren’t showing all my subcategories.
I figured out the category thing at the top of my blog but I still don’t know how to delete/ edit the links at the bottom of the page 😦 How did you do it on your blog benjammin?
I really love this design. I’d swap to it now if I could figure out how to decrease the varigation in the text background (some of my readers can’t see so well!)
Hi!
I want to know if I can see how many different IP-adresses that have been wisiting my site instead of how many times people clicked on my site?
I hope that you can help me…
Thank you!
