  Thanks! Fixed. 🙂

   It has almost everything what I would look for, except too much white space wasted on the top right hand corner. The WP version doesn’t resemble the original at the designer’s demo site. If the header image is not preferred than you could have moved the menus next to the blog title or to the right, like the original.

   Clean and minimalistic theme, looks great!

   Amazing how trends go from this sort of thing to flashy as can be and back again.

   Wow… this is pretty cool. With all the clutter in my life… this is like a breath of fresh air.

   I’ll have to keep this in mind when it’s time to re-design HipsterApproved. Thanks!

   Does this theme work with WordAds?
• Caroline Moore Apr 11th at 6:18 pm

  Yes, it is compatible with under-post ads, and should work with sidebar ads as well. If you run into any problems with it, please don’t hesitate to contact us: http://wordads.co/contact/

   I think this is a lovely theme – nice size fonts, well displayed blockquotes, nice H2, H3, etc. rendering, good framing around images – It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into this.

   Too clean for me; I need a bit of clutter to match my personality 🙂

   Thanks! 🙂

    Hi Caroline,
    I like Truly Minimal and the features it has and will give it a try on my personal blog. Is it too much to ask that future themes could include the ability to change font color of Site Titles and links without having to purchase a $30.00 annually renewable custom design upgrade? I sure hope so because being able to do this on other free hosted blogs like those at Blogger is common and flatly refuse to pay annually just to change them.

  Hi timethief! Thanks, really glad you like Truly Minimal.

  You can change the color of your site title under Appearance -> Header (or in the Customizer), this is the case with most themes. As of right now, there are no plans to include additional custom colors options in future themes, but we appreciate your feedback!

    Pretty.

    I like that theme so much! I’ll be happy to use it in my new blog!

    C. Moore, did you create it? 🙂
• Caroline Moore Apr 12th at 1:11 pm

  So glad you like it! And nope, I can’t take credit for this one, it was designed by FlareThemes.

    Nice work. And full-width without sidebar:-)
17. Admin1 Apr 12th at 12:27 pm

    Not for me, too clean. 🙂

    Truly Minimal. Of course I would recommend it to friends thinking to turn bloggers.
28. Anna Apr 15th at 5:46 pm

    Love it!

    Hi, great theme, I’ve just switched to it on my blog. The only issue is that my front page has now changed from showing excerpts to full posts, is there a way of changing back? I’ve written out custom excerpts for all my posts. Cheers!
• Caroline Moore Apr 16th at 12:52 pm

  Hi Andy! Truly Minimal displays full post content by default. You can add a More Tag to your posts to truncate them. You can read more about this here:

• andywarnock Apr 16th at 6:05 pm

  That’s great, thanks! I thought there must be a way to do it, as there were split posts in the theme example.

    I just activated this new theme and I like it except for some reason when I go to change the title to my title and save it in the
    customize theme window, it doesn’t change the title from ‘Truly Minimal’ to mine. Am I not doing something right?
    Also, I don’t see where I can upload my own Header image. Is this not possible?
• Caroline Moore Apr 16th at 7:33 pm

  Howdy! It sounds like you’re using Truly Minimal on a self-hosted WordPress site, which is different from the WordPress.com version of the theme. You can read more about WordPress.com vs WordPress.org here:

  And you can read more about how to use Truly Minimal on WordPress.com here:

  I hope this clears things up!
