FAT MARY is a green-like theme for Wordpress. It took it’s name from a friend who was asked to test the theme while i was drawing it and she said: “God! It’s… Fat-like-Mary!“.
To tell you the truth, i ‘ve never met Mary but i hope she ‘ll like it! 
Fat Mary 1.3

from WordPress repositoryDEMO: Fat Mary’s page
Last Update @ 12 March 2009
So this is FatMary’s page where I ‘ll post new releases, fix bugs and make anything to keep Fat Mary round and fat! If you like it or hate it just leave a comment. Support questions can be placed here as comments but, for more detailed answers, please use my Forums instead.
- To begin with, Fat Mary has three columns. The Main column (which includes the main posts, the header and the footer), the Mini sidebar (which is the narrow sidebar) and the Main sidebar (which is the wide sidebar).
- The header and footer area is embeded to the Main column. That means the sidebars start from the very top (next to the header) and may end below the footer (depending on how long the main column is). It’s like having three separate columns.
- The Mini sidebar is in the middle. BUT you can change that and you can make it go on the right side while the Main sidebar will take its place to the middle. Replace float: left; with float: right; which are located in style.css file among these lines:
/* MINI SIDE BAR */
#side-mini {
background: transparent;
width: 180px;
float: left;
/* if u wanna mini sidebar @ right */
/* float: right; */
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
- Mini sidebar has a content width of 120 pixels, more suitable for ads or whatever you wanna put there, while Main sidebar has a content width of 180 pixels. Both of them use widgets and you can drag and drop anything from your widget’s area.
- The main post box has a content width of 460 pixels. Images have a max-width of 440 pixels. You can use the WordPress 2.6.X caption which just makes a border of about 10px around them or a class=”image” (which i prefer) which just adds a 10px border around an image.
- The light green background can be easily changed. Upload your new image background inside images folder and then locate in style.css file the following lines replacing background.jpg with your own:
#wrapper {
background: url('images/background.jpg') repeat center top #EBEEEA;
...
}
- Fat Mary needs the WP-PageNavi plugin of GamerZ. Just install it, activate it and it’s ready to work. A pagenavi-css.css file is included and located inside theme’s folder and that one should be changed in case tou wanna make the page numbers look different.
- For better browsing i ve put tags under pages because i use tags4page plugin of Michelem. I suggest you install it and also put tags in your pages too. If not a page will close normally. That’s something that WP must adopt sometime!
- Fat Mary also uses shadows in images all around and those are .png files. IE6 cannot read them and that’s why there’s a ie6.css file which will make IE6 to read .gif images and present a decent browsing.
Above is a screenshot of what an IE6 user will see against the one below for all other browsers.
Fat Mary theme is tested with FireFox, Opera, Safari, Google Chrome, Iinternet Explorer 6 & 7 with WordPress 2.6 and above. If you find any bug let me know.
Known Bugs: Sometimes a justified list may “move” IE7 right border.
Fat Mary theme for WordPress is licenced under GNU General Public License and that means you can do it whatever you want but do not claim as your own. A link back in the footer is always welcome but not necessary.
ChangeLog
- Version 1.3: PAGED comments (not threaded) support and fixes for WP 2.7.X
- Version 1.2: Comment textarea fix for safari.
- Version 1.1: Tags4Pages not required.
- Version 1.0: First release.
Enjoy!

Love the theme, have one question. Is there any way to insert a logo in the header, rather than the site name?
Other than that, go fat-mary go!
Thanks,
jim

Hi jim,
You can place a logo at the top (as i did) easily. Make an image 400X60 pixel and save it on the web somewhere. Then open the header.php and find these lines:
Then replace with these lines:
If you need to adjust it find #main-head-title at style.css file and change its properties. If you have any difficulties let me know.
I’m glad you like it!

Thank you kindly for your help on the logo placement!

Nice theme for celebrity gossip site or something like movie downloads. Screw driver – it’s awesome!

I am using Fat Mary and have added the NextGen Gallery. The problem is when viewing pix from thumbnails the pix are squashed. I have determined the problem is with the theme by switching themes and it works perfectly. I like Fat Mary and would like to continue using it. What do you suggest fixing. I am not a code writer.
Thanks
PS I would love to use Screwdriver if it had 3 columns.

What is “squashed”? Lol.
Maybe its a max size problem.
Open CSS and put an # in fron of max-width save and try again.
PS: Screwdriver cannot have a third column. At least for 2009.
