DJ FLush over at Sizlopedia has a great theme, Tigopedia which he's just made recently. This theme is based on Tiga theme but several remarkable enhancements and features are being incorporated into it.
There are few things that I like about this theme. The look of this theme is classy, catchy, it's optimised for adsense (just insert your Adsense pub-ID) and much freedom is given to Wordpress users to change the width of sidebars and middle bar with just a few alterations from Tigopedia admin screen. Here is the list of features available in Tigopedia theme and few screenshots of the theme.
Features:
Tigarator: Tigarator is the new capability of controlling your theme dynamically through a theme admin interface. It is a unique feature in Tiga as well as Tigopedia and can be found under Presentation Tab in Admin Panel
Cleaner code: Though Tiga also had a clean code but Tigopedia’s style code is more cleaner and precise.
Adsense Ready: The theme is fully Adsense ready, providing you the availability to no longer edit Theme files to insert Google Ad blocks. All you have to do is go to theme options (The Tigarator) and enter your Adsense pub-ID.
Link Unit Bar: The Tigarator has a 1-click feature through which you can enable/disable the horizontal 4 ad link unit bar under the header in case you want to put link units in your sidebar.
Gravatar Ready: The theme is gravatar ready. All you need to do is install the Gravatar Plugin and Actiavte it and the function will automatically be parsed by the theme.
Dynamic CSS: The best feature of this theme is that it is not run by style.css instead style.php which is dynamic and lets you change theme color,positioning etc on the flye using Tigarator.
Widget Ready: The theme supports Wordpress Widgets and itself has cool Widgets that you can add/edit using the Sidebar.
3 Column Flexibility: The theme is a 3 column theme with a left sidebar and right bar which are both controlled by sidebar.php (A flexible and easy approach).
Fluid Width: The theme width is fluid all the way down. You can change the size of left sidebar or right sidebar or even can shrink the middle bar content on the fly by using Tigarator.
Web 2.0 Standard Design: The design is eye catching following the Web 2.0 Traditions with more white space, light colors, sans-sarif fonts and big headings.
You can get more details and download this theme from Tigopedia theme.
Me: Most probably I'm using this theme for the next blog ;)

Garry,
If I’m not mistaken you used to use tiga theme some time ago.

Yes, you are right. Tiga is one of my favorites. So seeing this mod is great! I like it. I haven’t installed it just yet, so I am curious if it still has all the original features that were in Tiga.
