Drupal's new default theme, Garland, is one of the many impressive parts of the upcoming 5.0 release, and the rest of the open source community has noticed! While Drupal 5 races towards completion, the folks at Wordpress.com have ported the new Garland theme and Steven Wittens' slick color switching tool for use with Wordpress. While Drupal's complex layout capabilities aren't supported in the ported version, even Wordpress users will be able to enjoy Garland's clean, attractive design.

The Drupal community has enjoyed quite a few ported Wordpress themes over the years. It's great to see that the new visual design in Drupal 5 (not just the architectural improvements) demand attention! Hopefully other open source CMS projects will be able to benefit from the work, too.

Drupal version: Drupal 5.x
