vSlider is my original theme for WordPress 1.5+. You are looking at it right now…
I think it looks rather nice and it goes quite easy on the eye. If you also use Gallery2, make sure you check out the vSlider G2 companion theme.

Some highlights

• Cool looking sliding posts (hence the name vertical slider). Just click on the oval symbols on the top right corner of posts to see the effect. Very handy on archive pages to quickly show lots of posts without a lot of space needed. Also useful for reading lower positioned posts without scrolling down.
• Very complete, with custom templates for archives listing, search results, 404 page, list of used plugins and other handy details.
• Built-in random header image – no plugin required.
• Includes JS code to fix many of the problems related to PNG transparency in IE.
• Doesn’t require any WordPress plugins to work properly, but automatically gains a lot of extra functionality “out-of-the-box” (without any configuration) if they are installed and active. Check out the plugins being used at the moment.
• Careful use of CSS, HTML and Javascript to separate content, presentation and behavior – should be good learning material. Oh!… right… but it is only “almost XHTML 1.0” compliant.
• Tested on IE6, FireFox 1.0+ and Opera 8.5. No idea if everything works in other browsers – feedback is most welcome on this!
  Update: I’ve received confirmation that it also works properly in Safari v2.0.2. Thanks Mike!
