A great new theme released to the community. Not highly customizable, but nice use of AJAX. If you are looking for a darker, modern design with support for several plugins built in, this could well be for you.

Sirius Theme
A new theme set with a heavy dose of admin panel control over the theme. Which means a user can customize the look and feel of the theme without having to get “under the hood”. Multiple color schemes, as well as user defined colors for things like links, as well as control over what appears in the sidebar, as well as several built in plugins. Quite the ambitious project, with more to come from the designer.
Fauna Beta 3
Beta 2 introduced some useful new features, but became less stable because of it. Beta 3 is here to fix the stability issues, and add new features. Fauna is now nearly feature complete.
A great theme, that is itching for me to upgrade my personal blog to WP 2.0 and use on, with many many built in features and options. Definitely a great example of what some of the new features in WordPress can produce.
Squible Beta 1
Now out of beta, with many enhancements, as well as only be 2.0 compatible. Removal of tables, changes in the Flickr support, an options page to configure the main page, and many more features fixed/added.
For those not familiar with Squible, it’s a theme along the lines of K2, with many built in functions. A different approach in design as well, as it eschews the standard sidebar feature, rather has a more modular design. All of which combine to bring a different approach to using WordPress, and blogging in general.
runPHP Plugin for WordPress
Finally an update to one of the plugins that allow php in pages. Granted, creating a custom page template isn’t the most difficult, but to new users it can be daunting. Thus an update to one that works in 2.0 will be good to news to recent upgraders and new users.
Obligitory “I’ve updated to 2.0″ Post
Finally got around to gather together all the 2.0 versions of the plugins used on WPStation, and went through the upgrade process. Did accidentally delete one subdirectory that I forgot that was there, otherwise, only real issue was some permissions problems with themes, and not being able to see a page template when creating a new page. So if anything looks out of place or broken Contact me with details. It will be greatly appreciated.
Fauna Beta 2
Fauna
Update to one of the sleeker themes available recently, added an options page with 3 bundled headers, and support for WP 2.0. Definitely worth a look.

Believe and So Fresh Themes
Chris Davis
Sending out holiday gifts of his themes Believe and So Fresh. 2.0 themes only, with Believe still a slight work in progress according to the author. So Fresh was Chris’s previous theme, and was consistently asked for it, so he’s been gracious enough to package it up and offer it to the community.
WordPress Flickr Post Bar
tan tan noodles (v.2)
Updates his plugin to work with WP 2.0, as well as a few other enhancements. Plugin in essences provides recent flickr images in your admin area, so adding those recent images to posts is simplified. Inspired by Flock’s TopBar feature.
