I think you’ll agree this theme has a certain mystique to it. This fun, colorful theme is flexible enough to fit any type of site — it’s simply loaded with options. A long-time favorite for self-hosted sites designed by digitalnature, Mystique is now available in your WordPress.com dashboard.
What doesn’t this theme do? It offers layout choices of one, two, or three columns, six color schemes, four footer widget areas, and support for four post formats. Not to mention built-in links to your favorite social networks in the header, a unique custom widget with quick-switching tabs, and special treatment for a “featured” post at the top of the site.

Wow! Great!
This is very cool. A nice Easter present.
Mind blowing! It’s too beautiful.
This is amazing!
Great theme!
Fantastic. Going ahead to preview my blog on this new theme! Happy Easter, Y’all!!! 🙂
Wow! That’s very … Mystique 😉
I like it. Too bad, that it won’t fit for my plans. But maybe… I will try it in spite of that. 😀
Mystique looks magnifique!
I love the background, but I might go with a less contrasting shade for the area behind the text.
Oh, that is PRETTY! I love how you can tweak the buttons and links, I’ll give it a try in a few weeks, it looks like a blast!
Yes, this one is cool indeed.
Fun, colorful and flexible! What’s not to like?
(Love those post formats; keep ’em coming!)
I like the build in links in the header. Nice!
I admire how you guys keep coming up with new and interesting themes! Keep up the good work!
Really nice theme! I might use this…
Love the social tracking buttons at the top.
Woooo, like it. Just changed my blog to this theme to give it a try.
It is cool… clean and simple-looking. Not confusing. Would be a great theme for great writing; would fit seamlessly and awesomely.
Wow, I like it.
Very nice. I like all the options.
This could be the one that finally gets me to change my theme.
Maybe… 🙂
I like the more dramatic themes. This might be a candidate to replace my Choco Theme.
I will use it.
Cute! Techno looking rainbows. 🙂
Very nice theme… great features! Might try in future.
This theme really looks good. I intend to try it out.
It’s totally hot.
Wow…finally one that I am definitely going to update my 2-yr look with. 🙂 Thanks!
Some really nice features in this one! Thanks.
Great look & feel!
Really great! I’ll use it soon!
Nice! I shall have to try it. I love those theme options, and hope to see more customizable themes in the future. I hope it doesn’t do funky things to my pictures like some other themes do. . .
This may be an answer to my never-ending theme search, honestly. I’ve been looking for a good theme for an adventure/thriller science-fiction/fantasy writing blog for a while, and am not entirely happy with what I’m stuck with now.
Great, I will try this.
LOVE this theme!! Thanks for creating such fun, unique themes for us to use!
Very much like the design of this theme…well done.
WOW! This is one amazing theme!
I plan to switch over this weekend. It looks really good, but I’ll have to give a proper test run before I commit to it.
Love the theme, I’m using it now 😀
As Daft Punk would have described it: Technologic.
Wow, I really really like this one!!!
This looks fun! I love all the options and flexibility. I would like to see more elegant themes with a one column layout like Duster for the front page and blog pages. No side bar, but not full width as in 900+ px and not super skinny as in Day Dream. Bottom widgets of course. With the focus on content.
Love it! THIS may finally be the new theme I’ve been looking for! All I really want right now is a theme where I can customize my own 404 error to send people to the home page…
Great theme, I love the social network icons on the top!
I like the background colors mixed with black.
Thank you for offering such a great theme for free. 🙂 Almost ideal.
WP is the best!
This is a FANTASTIC theme! Changing mine today!
Excuse me whilst I pick my jaw up from the floor. Time to change the blog theme!
I like it. Thanks.
I must admit to being nervous about changing my blog theme — do readers like change or consistency? But I love this theme and may consider it…
Mystique does a lot of things, but I wish that the dates on the posts showed the year. Example: June 21, 2011 or 06-21-2011 rather than what is shows now: Jun 21st. I use it for my self-hosted site.
Hi Emily, Mystique shows the full date (including the year) on single posts underneath the post as “Posted on” [date]; you can change that format from your dashboard in Settings > General under “Date Format.”
Beautiful. Changing after this post. 🙂
The best theme in the world. 😉
Changed to this brilliant theme. Thanks for the excellent work!
I love this.
Great theme!
I have always wanted to use this theme on my WordPress blog! I’m glad that it has finally been added to the collection of available themes to use, what a beauty it is!
It has been a while since I was last that much satisfied with a theme. Finally a great one for a variety of purposes. Custom background and the elegantly placed social media icons do the work. And it seems suitable for an ad website!
Just installed this theme and I adore it! Thank you WordPress! Amazing as usual.
I really like this one!
I’ve used it before on a .org site… and now it’s available for .com users. JUST AMAZING… gracias desde Ciudad de Panamá!
I love it, greetings and thank you very much for this new theme.
Very nice, I like it!! I would use it if Tags were not visible on the front page (I find that aesthetically unpleasant)! 😦 I dont mind seeing tags on the individual post, but I hate seeing them all over the front page.
Looks great! Will check it out, nice work!
Oh, wow, that is pretty snazzy!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Color! Yahoo! Thank you so much for this one!
Yes, thank you much. I love it.
Tested out the single column setting of the theme, look great to showcase photos or as photos blog. The single column / main column setting for this theme is 915 – good to show a 900 x 600 photo! Anyway, I remain stick to Modularity theme, as so far it the only theme that allow to show image size 950 in width!! IMHO – this is the best theme to showcase photography / image, not to compromise the resolution / size of the image.
Still hope there will be a free theme with single/main column with supported width size 1000 or 1100. As today most LCD monitor in width size, thus it shouldn’t be problem for most visitors. It still depend on blog owner – for their preference. 🙂
Conclusion – Mystique is a great theme for me… !
Overall, I love it. I just don’t like the blockquote style… too short or something.
Wonderful theme, I love it!
Phenomenal!
I love it. It will be used on at least two of my blogs if not all three.
Wow, fantastic. It is a must-to-be-applied-now theme!
I love the content area that way I don’t have to scroll so much. Love it!
Awesome! Thanks, man!
Fantastic! Thanks! I wonder how the other color schemes look like.
It’s absolutely beautiful! Thanks!
Wow! The most beautiful free Theme on WordPress.com! 😀 I like all the feature it has.
Great theme!
Gorgeous! The theme for me, thank you!
WOW, marvelous! Thank you.
Really nice!
Now THIS one I like. Clean, clear, and concise. Nice addition.
Beautiful! Thanks for adding themes regularly to WordPress!
I think I’m going to shift to this one!
Love this and took no time in adding this theme to my blog.
Great theme, I love the social network icons on the top!
So cool, wow.
WordPress team, you did it again! the only thing i could complain is that i keep changing themes because you keep on introducing better ones! 😉
This is very pretty, a real spring inspired theme with a lot of color schemes. Nice job!
DEFINITELY mystique… it’s ADORABLE. In a beautiful, nice, pleasant way. It’s very easy to suit anyone. Once again, you’re awesome! 🙂
I’ve been waiting for a fun, colourful theme like this to pop up!
It’s simply superb and useful, thanks a lot.
I will change back to k2 lite and will stick with it, not because I didn’t like this theme.. but still a big blog style and like to be an underground troll.
Beautiful one.
Wow, this is so different from the usual output from the Theme Team! Is it free? Almost looks too good to be true! Haha. Hope you guys keep trying this direction.
Pretty impressive. A clean but spicy one.
I love it, shame though on the actual theme, the post text is different and rather hard to read… that’s incredibly off-putting. Or maybe it’s just not so compatible with Chrome. Otherwise, I love it.
Wow… Really cool!
Cool graphics–I like the sidebar, especially! That sidebar will be useful to all who use it. It would be so easy to scroll through a blog designed like that.
This is beautiful.
This is AWESOME! Finally a good new theme that you don’t have to pay for! 🙂
