Say hello to our newest theme, Choco. If I had to sum this theme up in just one word, it’d be stylish.
With dark colors and stitched borders Choco will give your site a classy, contemporary feel. It is well-suited for any site but works especially well for journal-style blogs: the traditional two-column layout with a right sidebar frames your stories in familiar—yet beautiful—style.
Choose from three color schemes and further customize the look with your own background, menu, and sidebar widgets. Learn more about Choco on the Theme Showcase.
Designed by CSSMayo, Choco is now available for WordPress.com, and for self-hosted WordPress.org sites, from the WordPress.org Themes Directory.

Awesome, I want to try it. 🙂
Sweet! This theme’s as sweet as chocolate (ha.) Will test it out.
Choco! 🙂 Great theme.
Very nice! In particular the “stitched” border and the various colour schemes. Next time I update the blog I’ll be sure to use this.
I love this theme, awesome!
Awesome, going to give it a try. 😀
Really awesome theme…I like it.
This might be my new theme!!! Thank you for a tasteful yet darker color scheme theme!!!
Very slick. I can’t say that I’d use it though. Its beautiful to look at, but maybe not my style. 😉 Nevertheless, great work!
Looks great and has the right extras!
Awesome! I may try this theme… love the chocolate color of it.
Looks great – seems to have just about everything I wanted!
I like the simplicity. Well done!
I love the color and the simple lines and design.
Woo hoo! Keep those dark themes coming!
Oooooo! I like it! I made the switchover already on one of my blogs! You guys are really hitting it out of the park with these latest updates.
Already tried it, and it FITS perfectly for my blog. :D. Thanks for CSS Mayo who has been workin’ very hard at this theme. Bravo!
Full of style indeed. Nice work!
The stitching has a lovely look. Manly yes, but I like it too!
I absolutely LOVE this! I would switch to it, but when I put in my custom background, I can’t see the page links at the top unless I hover over them 😦 Very beautiful theme.
This theme works best with a dark-colored custom background, a lighter one won’t work as well.
Really cute design! I love the journal feel to it.
Well done, I want to try this theme. 🙂
I think people in Hannover, Germany will like choco[late] too!
Great theme.
Looks cool, like a notebook. I like! 🙂
Beautiful. Not my favorite color schemes (blue), but I still love it. 🙂
Really nice theme! Love the simplicity & the colors!
I’ve been waiting for this theme on wordpress.com for so long.
Very nice, in particular the content area, which pops very cleanly, crisply.
I love the artistic expression of the theme, but you know I love three columns. This is really nice and xnicc was right, it has a great journal feel.
Looks great! Very classy and appealing.
I just like the name. 🙂 But I’ll have to check out the color scheme. I’m still not happy with my layout but nothing else seems to ‘click’ either…
Looks delicious, nice. 🙂
Nice! But I’m happy with the one I have. 😀
Meh, seems sticky.
We’re hoping this one does stick with quite a few WP.com sites. Might not be a great one for a weather blog, though, eh?
Very nice style, awesome colors.
My goodness, it’s beautiful! Probably one of the best in a while. Thank you!
Pretty sweet design, I’ve already switched one of my blogs over to it! I’d give it a full five stars if it had a custom header option.
We looked at adding a Custom Header (it doesn’t have that option in the WP.org version) but decided it wasn’t a great fit for this theme.
Oooh… dark and brooding. Just like my mood of late.
I have a feeling I may have a new theme shortly!
Should be called “Choco & Leather”!
Very attractive and different, which I think will appeal to many. The light writing area with dark background works well. Thanks to all the new themes, I’ve changed my theme so many times in the last months that my readers will think I’m nuts if I change again. I’m quite happy with Duster for now.
Thanks. I’m going to activate this one.
This would be so perfect for me if it had a custom header option!
Hi! Being a chocoholic, myself, this was an offer I could not refuse! It’s now my WordPress theme. Thanks for letting us know about this new option.
Perfect …just what I was looking for! Thank you!
I can definitely see how this theme would benefit some users. Looks good!
Lame, just like Ubuntu. Its hard to get excited about brown.
I’m trying it. I’m liking it. Subtle, yet cool.
Great theme.
Nice. Aside from the skeleton, it looks delicious.
Awesome new theme. Changed my personal blog from Notepad to this and it fits like a glove. It’s a keeper for a long time.
It does look classy. Could be chocolatier.
Wow… It looks like delicious. Hmm.
Oh, I just changed my theme to Duster. Now I want this one, but my readers will think I’m fickle if I change again. Choices, choices….
Gorgeous theme! It’s not too masculine or feminine, and it’s nice and clean.
Definitely considering it for my blog.
Great work! Nice theme!
Oh! Man it is amazing. Love the stitched borders, tags, dark grey scheme. 🙂
I really like it. Not sure if it was work for my blog though- I have used a dark one in the past but it messed up the pages. 😦
Great theme!
Gorgeous theme. I’d be even happier if there was a blue and black (or blue and dark grey) colour scheme option.
This very nice, you needed some chocolate.
That’s a nice looking theme. I’m sure it will be very popular.
Lovely theme, thank you!
Looks “yummy” 🙂 But I’ll stick to my current one.
Very nice! Will definitely try it out.
Makes me crave for chocolate. I like how it’s so elegant and plain.
This is certainly one of the best themes of seen in awhile! (and it is quite difficult to best many of it’s predecessors). I may just have to try it out sometime.
Looks nice.
Good work and great theme. But I can’t use this because I love Twenty Ten… and it is not suitable for a science blog. Well, I should give a try—to check out its features.
Wow, that’s beautiful. 😉 I must try it right away. Thank you for this nice theme.
I like chocolate. Hope WordPress can bring another 3 column theme like I use now.
I might consider it. Brown is one color that never goes out of style, and both genders seem to like it. Even though it is not as exciting as grey and blue or whatever, I find that some people have a hard time reading anything on that color of a background. Keep up the great work with journalism themes…that’s the kind I like!
I love it so much, thank you. :))
Love the new theme! I’ve made the switch.
Very nice! But still love my Twenty Ten!
Mmm chocolate! Good work.
Thanks. It’s awesome..
Very nice. So many themes so little time.
I love the theme, I added the Choco theme to one of my blogs and I love it!
Wow it’s a great theme, I love it. Thanks bro Lance Willett, let’s rock, man.
Love this theme, almost as delicious as it sounds (see what I did there? Huh? Huh? Lol)! I’d love it and would like to eat it (use it) more if it had 2 sidebars. Thanks for the great theme though! Keep up the good work. 🙂
I love chocolate and this theme looks very impressing to me. 😀
Very nice, won’t be using it though, won’t go with my blog theme. 😦
Very nice. This is great for my book review blog.
Very yummy theme.
This actually looks kinda cool, looking dark but sophisticated, it’s what I’m going for in my blog. 🙂
Lovin’ the look of this new theme – I wish you offered it in more colors though! 😕
A little dark… I like it though.
I’m gonna try it out, see how it looks.
P-E-R-F-E-C-T.
Love it!
Nice! I like the color. It would really have to match a certain theme if you wanted it for your blog though….but pretty good design.
Nice. I’d love to see it in pink with lots of love in it.
Gorgeous! I’m about to try this. Thanks WP.
I really like this! Will try it out when I need a new look for my blog! Thanks.
Interesting looking theme. Will have to check out what it looks like in other colors.
Should be called Ubuntu theme, it really reminds me of older versions of Ubuntu Linux.
“Stylish” sums this one up perfectly. Nicely done. *Goes to preview it on her new blog*
