Stop fighting WordPress themes
I am not a designer, never been and never will be. Working on the web, however, I have often indulged in the pleasure of pushing pixels around a page.
However, with time the pleasure has turned into frustration, and the real satisfaction is now mainly derived from playing around with data to make it do what I want it to do. The presentation layer has become a burden and I try to avoid it as much as I can.
I have lately been working on a few ideas that need an appropriate design to be implemented. I started my usual trial-and-error method to check what looks nice and what doesn't, and what would complement the content best.
And then I stumbled on Colors of Rainbow a WordPress theme that more or less does it. With a push of the proverbial button - literally. It would only require a couple of tweaks that it would probably take me under an hour to apply.
This time I might fight my pride, let go of control and let those who know best do their thing.

I agree and sometimes I feel just like you… I've fixed this theme and translated into spanish but I still need permission to use it with my hacks as I removed a few links hehehe and changed icons, colors and so… :)
