Sometimes it sucks to be me. But in a really good way.
Every day, I look at quite a few sites using the Options theme, and almost every day I’m surprised by what people are doing with it.
Why does it suck to be me?
Well, I have to choose only 10 great mods for this post. There are a lot more. We have over 100 posts in the Show off your Options site thread in the forums alone. Trying to narrow it down to 10 is pretty hard work.
The Options theme was made to be skinned, and I’d like to present to you some very cool customizations. You guys and gals have done some great work.

Looking forward to the next showcase
With Project M just around the corner, we’ll have a place that’ll be easier to show off our customizations. I already have a theme showcase page in mind.
Keep the good mods coming. If I’ve missed your site, feel free to drop me a line on the contact page, show off your site on the popular show off your Options site thread, or simply link to it in the comments section of this post.

Wow! Very nice all of them… I like it specially FanDominion, Inside Pigeon Forge, and the beauty bunny.
Great works
Thanks so much for the feature! I’m really chuffed. Blushing even. ^_^
Ohhh my site is here!!!, thank you!.
Your options theme is a diamond in the rough. It’s amazing and this showcase really makes it shine!
Thanks for the inclusion Justin!!!! It was a very cool surprise.

FanDominion has the coolest header image to me.
Not trying to play favorites or anything though. Each site is unique in its own way.

Well, you deserve it. I’ve had your site bookmarked for a while now. Just took me a while to put it up in the showcase.

You’re welcome.
I still wished I could’ve shown off your last design too. If you don’t think you’ll use it anymore, feel free to add it to our list of user-created stylesheets in the forum. Plus, when Project M comes around, I’ll probably have a better section for sharing styles.

Definitely. Some of these people are far better designers than I am. I wouldn’t mind working with a few of them on some projects to be honest.

I liked your site from the moment I saw it. Obviously, it doesn’t even look like the Options theme anymore. Seeing how you utilize the site reminds me that it wasn’t so bad trying to make a one-size-fits-all theme. I think there’s even more potential that hasn’t been utilized in this regard too.
You mean the other design with the flowers at top?
mini
I thought they were trees. It was a bluish-colored layout.
Wow, Justin. I’m honored you included my hubby’s eMag. I designed/manage it and he writes. I feel like such a noob, too. Thanks. I’m looking forward to working on upgrading it this weekend to v1.2. I’m still trying to get the subscription plugin and feature gallery to play nice in IE.
Again, thanks for showcasing us; all these others are so great!
Yes are tree, my english allways so good and I said flowers hahahaha. I do not go to use more this design with the tree and the bluw background. I will prepare for share in the forum the style.
Awesome surprise Justin! These are all great themes. Options is a very easy wordpress theme to customize.
The Beauty Bunny has my vote, love the clean look, makes the header image (which is outstanding) really stand out.
Baby Jane has a cool header image too…
FanDominion, you have my vote – attractively catching: banner
It’s amazing to see such creativeness – fantastic work on all of them and those that are not listed at this time too.
I’m delighted to see my website showcased – many thanks Justin, and many thanks to all using Options for the knowledge sharing and fine inspiration.
My! My site look cool, it will be very pleasantly, if you add binaries.ru to your next mod digest)
Oops, did not see this prior to my previous comment. If you deem it worthy, would like to submit my site for consideration as well Justin.

Great works! Thanks!
I love these.
It’d be nice to get the theme files themselves. Would there be a place to upload your Options theme stylesheets on Project M?
Mine’s just a crappy header. But I lurv your options Theme man!
I love your work, i had originally found you via your Structure theme. This NEW! one (Options) is just as solid. Will use it on an upcoming new blog of mine. Nice!
Missy.
Thanks for sharing the options themes. I love the Baby Jane network style. Is it easy to add this to a website?
I worked on the Pigeon Forge site listed in the showcase and we ended up taking what we learned and implemented it into the hybrid framework and came up with what you can find at the myrtle beach coupons website. We just removed some of the “heavy” stuff such as the slider, images, video, etc to make it load faster which helped search engine crawl rates.
Great job, Justin, through all these years providing awesome themes, frameworks, tips, support, etc!!! THANK YOU!
