Historically we haven’t spent a lot of time covering the photo themes available, but there are times when some hybrid designs are released which fit into the Content Management System category.   One recently example of this is the new Spectrum theme by Woo Themes, a photo theme designed for content rich sites showcasing their content with beautiful imagery. 

The Spectrum theme is packed with 7 widgetized regions and lots of custom woo widgets, like a video player, Flickr and Twitter streams, to customize huge amounts of the theme on the fly.  Here are the features listed with the Spectrum theme:

We were recently made aware of a new theme store from the designer of the Omni Theme.  This new premium theme store is called Mod Themes, and they already have a pretty decent news CMS theme available for purchase.   

Going forward, I would expect several other nice offerings from Mod Themes, as they have also brought in popular WordPress coder Nathan Rice in to work on their theme coding, among others.

The initial news theme release, Breaking News, is a nice design and proves that the website shows a lot of promise.  Here is the information we’ve collected on this new premium news theme:
