Twenty Twelve – Dark Child Theme
Zeaks
Here’s a free Twenty Twelve child theme I created based off of the dark color scheme of Twenty Eleven. I’ve adjusted a few of the colors and added a few minor details from the original Twenty Eleven version.
This child theme is wp-PageNavi ready, just install it, disable wp-pagenavi CSS and configure it how you like.
If you notice anything I’ve missed please leave a comment and let me know. Feel free to use it however you like.

Wow Scott! This theme is so sexy! Great jobs with the colors. Looks super clean.
I am not partial to dark themes, I find theme harder to read

I agree, dark websites can be more difficult to read for sometimes. I think part of the reason might be because most websites are light in color and we’re just used to it.
Text is not always the main content on some websites, photoblogs look great using dark color schemes, I’ve seen alot of gaming websites that look great using dark colors too.
I find white text on a black background hurts my eyes, I think I’ll lighten this comment box up a bit.
Yea for blogs with lots of text its hard for me as well but if you post lots of photos or videos dark themes are great!

Great darkness, great details, great work. I really think it looks better than in white.
The potential of 12 is obviously hidden in its descendants.

Hi,
thanks for sharing this. I was really disappointed when I saw that WordPress had dropped the dark option. This helped me a lot. I just changed the link colors to red, as that has always been my colour scheme.
Awesome website theme! Gonna use it for sure!
Nice!
I’ll test this, however, I have one comment. Make your theme extendable in child themes by changing your functions.php to add an “if not function exists”:
if ( ! function_exists ( 'twentytwelve_content_nav' ) ) { function twentytwelve_content_nav( $nav_id ) { ... } }That way a child theme can extend it if needed.
Thanks for a great theme!
Great, thanks so much for sharing!
Thank-you i have been looking to change my site to dark for a few days now! LOL i’m new to wordpress…
Would you be so kind as to tell me how i go about disabling the wp-pagenavi CSS please.
Thanks a ton. You oversimplified the job.
Hi Scott, This is fantastic, thank you very much. One problem, my header bar with the title text remains white, how can I change it?
