Unlike the WordPress Theme, the BBPress Theme is not a ‘premium’ content theme, and is offered for free. It is a three column theme but because of the slight limitations of BBPress, doesn’t have an admin backend and so can’t be configured as easily or widely as the WordPress Theme.

Nevertheless it’s a nice solid theme and is easy to use. The normal procedures apply when downloading and installing it. Try for yourself and grab it from the release page: Ikon BBPress Theme.

There is an administration backend that lets you set various options, such as whether comments show, if the blog has (and shows) sticky posts, the animated header, tags and so on.

This theme also has an accompanying BBPress theme that will be released shortly. This is aesthetically the same as the Ikon WordPress Theme but there are no options to set sidebars, it is set to have the two sidebars on either side of the content column.

In the near future there will also be an Ikon Admin Theme, to be packaged with the WordPress Theme and BBPress Theme.

So take a look at the Ikon WordPress Theme and see if your blog would look good with it!
