I am glad to introduce you my first free WordPress theme, named AlbinoMouse. A funny name, isn’t it? The appearance of the little white mouse is the reason why I chose the name. The size of the animal symbolizes the minimalist style. Its white fur represents the bright areas of the layout. The glowing red eyes stand for a variable and glowing color. That color will be used for the links and the footer background.
AlbinoMouse was built based on the _s (underscore) Starter Theme. Therefore the structure of AlbinoMouse consists of semantic HTML5. Some CSS3 Styles are on board. Furthermore Font Awesome was integrated, that allows the use of user-friendly icons.
Theme Design
The design of AlbinoMouse is minimalist and contains generous typography. It consists of bright and transparent gray areas. An additional dominant color for links and footer can be defined.
Responsive Theme
AlbinoMouse is a responsive WordPress Theme, suitable for tablets and smartphones. The theme automatically adjusts to the available width.
Browser Compatibility
AlbinoMouse works, because of the use of HTML5 and CSS3, in all modern browsers. Internet Explorer is supported from version 8
Theme Options
Several Theme Options give you the chance to customize and style your Website like you want. You have the possibility to change the color or font for example.
Shortcodes
Shortcodes are another tool to style your content individually. There are shortcodes for splitting the content in different columns or marking special links.
Awesome Icons
The famous Icon Font Awesome was included. You’re able to style the main navigation or lists with a proper icon.

Hi, thank you for a great theme! It’s clean and easy to customize.
thank you so much for this theme! it took so long for me to find something like this!
i’m pretty much a novice when it comes to this stuff, but: is there a way I can reduce the top margin of the main page content? I don’t want it starting so low on the page. I would rather bring it up much closer to the header. I’m not sure which part of the stylesheet I should change.
Any tips appreciated! Thanks again!

Hi meegan
You’re talking about your frontpage, right? You’ve got lot of space, because you don’t show the title.
You could disable the title just on the frontpage with this:
#post-91 .entry-header { display: none; }If you customize any of the original files, it can be overwritten during a theme update. I recommend you to backup your changes or create a Child Theme.
This theme is simple and amazing. Awesome job!
Thank you so much Eric!
Hello,
I’m having trouble changing the color of the actual font. Once I changed the background color the font becomes very hard to see. Otherwise an excellent theme.
Hi: I spent all day trying to find a better responsive theme than ‘Montezuma’ which I’ve been using for quite a while. I found Albino Mouse – fantastic!
Great Theme, it’s my first experience with wordpress. Your Theme is very easy to navigate compared to some others I tried out. Is it possible to change the Font or Menu button colour? Do I need to go through the HTML or CSS? Thanks again for such a nice Theme.
Hi Kirk, log into the backend and switch to the menu appearance. Is AlbinoMouse activated you’ll find find a link is called Theme Options. For those options you don’t need any CSS. Unless you are not satisfied with those options, you have to care about CSS.
Thanks so much, great Theme!!!
