Today I am glad to release my first free wordpress theme – BlakMagik. This was designed for SmashingMagazine readers. The theme has 2 columns and is based on grungy wooden textures and has a cool top menu which includes RSS. The psd source file of the logo has also been included with the package. So feel free to change the logo with yours. This design can be used for any projects and will be useful especially for portfolios.

so nice theme………
I finally found a theme I want and it’s outdated! Are you going to bring BlakMagik up to date?
When is your BlakMagik 2.0 going to be released, Gopal? Hopefully it will include previous/next page links on the blog!!! I love this theme but need to have this essential feature for it to be functional.
this theme is so great !!!
thanks for theme
best free theme.Thansk

Wow, your theme is so great !!!
Amazing, good job guys.
Thank a milion !
hi
really cool looking theme just awesome as like you.pretty thanks for exhibition.
I have a problem with IE (Mozzila is ok).
On each site in one part is always wrote: ,,Can’t find a site” Please if you can help me.
Thank u for sharing, I love these theme
I cant seem to change to logo to the name of my website? The header editor doesn’t change it .please help
thanks fo great theme, i love it
I really liked your theme, and have used it on this blog: http://blogs.asbindia.org/profgrowth
If you click on any of the standards on the right menu, the page opens with a preview without the image on those pages, then if you click on the page title, the entire page with the image appears.
Can we have the entire page appear at the first click directly?
Regards,
Dolphus
Can you tell me if you change something in the code that your site looks good in IE, without: ,,Can’t find site” on each site.
Thx.
First of all: Great theme! I love it, and I think it suits my webpage perfectly. Thank you!
I have one small problem with the footer though; it won’t stick to the bottom of the page! If the page I’m viewing has less content than the sidebar, the footer cuts right through the middle of it.
I’ve tried to google this problem, but the solutions I find doesn’t seem to quite suit this theme – and it doesn’t help that I really suck at php and css and all that stuff
Still can’t figure out the “previous page” link. Is there one? Otherwise, there’s no way for my readers to access older posts.
I love the theme and want to keep it, but this is rather essential.
Thanks for this great theme!
I did add a javascript preloader for the top nav images due to flicker, but I haven’t really had to do much else theme wise.
It really has great colors. The name is quite interesting as well.
Anyways, thanks again : )
I was trying the template but images don´t load anymore, can ou fix it please?? is an amazing theme! ^^ and if you can´t fix it, can you tell us that the theme will not exist anymore? to change it
anyway… thnx!!!!

There seems to be this odd Google Ads bar that causes a big empty space in my posts that I haven’t been able to remove in the code. I found it in the BlakMagik code and removed it yet it’s still there. Any idea what it is and how I can get rid of it? Awesome theme by the way. I love it.
i am having the same issue – removed the adsense script in the single.php file, but white space still there … what was your fix?

Hello Gopal ,
I have visited your site before . You are on my list of ” Top Web Designers ” and will be doing an article on you any minute now
Keep the flames of the imagination burning . Wishing you much future success within all of your life & career endeavors . ( I had no problems whatsoever w/ this theme – btw. And as far as the 2 white boxes located @ the footer to the left and right : The only way to get rid of those is to simply go into the CSS & set the #footer to : repeat -x; ) Take care , will def drop by again
What a stunningly beautiful theme . I am @ present on the Blogger Platform , and had downloaded the theme from a blogger gallery . The only modifications I have made so far are the header ( title ) which simply suits the theme soooo perfectly . The social media icons ( again sooo perfectly , as well as the comment box which came as just a boring blogger contact form – I spruced that up by adding a great background ) the entire theme looks even more uber now

@Johnny and Sixth: you can find a tutorial in my blog http://misaoblog.com about how to fix some BlackMagik problems.
@Johnny: Your solution is good but the problem is: If you change footer color to #0000 then you only see black in footer.
My solution is:
In stylesheet.css find #footer and change value “no-repeat” to “repeat-x”. Save and refresh. Now you can see that 2 white boxes have gone and the footer is still there.:D
Check my blog: http://misaoblog.com for demo.
Misao, thanks for the repeat-x tip . . . those white squares have been bugging me for ages! Cheers, Matt
@Misao: Thanks for that hint, I’ll test it next time, when I watch my blog in high res. =)
@Gopal: I’ve used your template for months. I’m complete satisfied. Thanks a lot.
@All: When the screen displays the search results of my weblog, there are white bars between the results. I’d haven’t changed much — killed only the Google Ad block.
Dou you have any idea how to fix it?
This theme is great! Is there a way to turn pagination on? I tried downloading a couple navigation plugins but none of them seem to work with black magik.
Great theme Gopal!! It’s on the blogger template theme site http://www.btemplates.com However, it doesn’t seem to work. The date shows as “undefined” (three times) and the background image does not show up on Internet Explorer – but it’s fine on Firefox. Any ideas on how to fix it? Here’s my blog with your theme: http://ghbamem.blogspot.com/
I love this very much..!
but sth wrong with my blog..
anyway,thx for your working! =)
Thanks Johnny. I was about to find the part of that with the whites. Instead of digging through it for possibly half an hour, you gave a quick solution. ^_^
As for the theme itself, it’s gorgeous. I voted PD.
Aside from that, I noticed that IE displays certain things differently than in SeaMonkey/Mozilla/FireFox. /sigh Lots of things to do to find these differences in CSS.

Just in case anyone else wants to fix theirs I figured out the issue with my white boxes. In the css file #footer change the “background #eee” to background #0000 that will set it to black and then no more white boxes when you maximize on a high res monitor.

Check the left image which is not matching the theme and also the comment graphics is over the text.
Please help me out. Thanks again for great theme.

I was wondering if there is any chance of getting the .psd files for the images on the left & right of main content?
Thanks,

wow this is a awsome theme the best so far.
But there s a little problem with the archives page template. It is some error on it the background is to black and the sidebar is not shown.
Can you make a fix on this
Thanks in advance.
Great work
Another question . . . are the google ads configurable?
Open index.php and search for class=”entry” below which you can find the adsense code (which is enclosed within the script tag). Just replace the code with yours.
Thank you very much Gopal!
You are a legend
Thanks for the quick response Gopal. I just had a look in the index.php file however because I do not understand php it made little sense.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I am just looking at removing the ‘Designed by’ part from the header and pointing the RSS button to my feed?
Thank you in advance.
Matthew.
I am sorry for the confusion in this regard. The file you need to edit is header.php and not index.php. You may search for the terms “designed by” and “RSS” in the php file and remove/replace them.
I hope this helps
