I’m building two new sites for myself in Drupal and so I spent some time today searching through the different theme contributions on drupal.org to find some new themes for my sites. I settled on these two themes that I have never seen before, and that I reallly really like. They are both very simple Drupal themes yet they have everything I need for my drupal site, including a nice dropdown menu for child pages! Pretty cool! Here are the two themes…both are free of course!

The Wabi Drupal Theme

Key Features

• Midium tone color with brush taste for elegance.
• Recolorable theme (like Garland theme) with color module.
• Many original color schemes are prepared.
• Supports both 2 column and 3 column layout.
• Supports both liquid and fixed width layout. It can be easily switched and configured at the theme setting page

The NewsFlash Drupal Theme
