Elemental Earth2 is included in Elemental as a bonus color, but we decided to give it away free. Based on the same style as the other colors in Elemental, the brown gradient and ruffled leaf graphics of the Elemental Earth2 theme compliment the other colors…but make this theme bold enough to stand on its own.

Feel free to use it in your own presentations or give it away. We simply ask that you not sell it release it in any modified or unmodified form as your own work.

UPDATE: If the installer gave you an error, the theme most likely installed correctly. We left a script in the installer that is looking for a demo file that isn’t included in this theme, so while you’ll get an error, it will still install. A new version has been posted now, so the error has been fixed.

Also included is a demo file, complete with notes on how the effect or look was created. Elemental was built and priced so that Keynote users in any budget can add a little color to their presentations.

Notice: If you purchase one of our 08 themes after today, they are already updated, so you do not need to run these updaters.

We’ve got more changes coming, and you can see some parts aren’t finished (like the ad block on the right side of the page). Our freebies section is still a work in progress, mostly because there aren’t any really good download managers for WordPress. We’re trying to decide if we should just make freebies a category and link to a category page, or actually install a download manager and try to get it looking nice.

Feel free to post comments, but be nice We chose a premade theme, and the wood grain just seemed to go well with the whole “Keynote’s logo is a wooden podium” feel. If there was a page you liked that has been removed, comment on it here. We do plan to put up some of the old stuff (redone of course) but much of the old reviews and tips were REALLY old. The support area is being moved to our parent site (www.thepeatgroup.com) since that’s where the theme store resides. It should make things easier for people purchasing themes.

Anyway, have a look around and tell us what you think!

Creating and editing lectures has never been easier. And now even the included timeline slides can be changed without editing the Master slide. You can move, resize or recolor the timeline bar any time you want.

PowerBlue 08 also includes more extras, an updated demo project and even more tutorials.

The Basic PowerBlue package includes 32 Master slides in both Palatino and HelveticaNeue, plus a set of alternate Masters with different Title treatments (for a total of 4 theme files). As with all KeynoteUser.com themes, there are loads of included extras (even a mini button making system), a full demo presentation file and several detailed tutorials. Also included is an advanced tutorial that explains how to replace the entire color scheme of the theme, allowing the user to create a completely new theme based on the current layouts.

The Full PowerBlue adds to the standard package a special PowerBlue Lecture theme (in both Palatino and HelveticaNeue), complete with editable running headers and footers on each Master slide. These can be easily edited to place lecture or class titles, so they don’t have to be added to each slide. In addition to the editable headers and footers, PowerBlue Lecture includes special Section slides, with special Title treatments, and even horizontal timeline layouts for creating custom timelines. Also included are timeline extras, a fill full of alternate header and footer treatments, and a detailed tutorial on how to use the Lecture theme.

PowerBlue is available for immediate download for $19.95 (Basic) or $26.95 (Full). More information is available at the PowerBlue product page

Candy 2 is nearly twice the size of Candy 1 and includes a totally new theme called Candy Blue. Based on the same feel, but sporting a new blue gradient look, you can now mix and match two looks in one presentation. or drop the stripes all together and go for blue alone. Also included are pages and pages of extras, including scalable/fillable/strokable objects that can’t can’t be created inside Keynote. We managed to get them in there for you, and we’ve given you a huge assortment to play with.

You’ll also find things like pulsing capsule buttons, animated objects, modifyable capsules (make them any shape you want) several button styles, chart overlays (give your pie charts a 3d look) and many other objects. We even managed to create a strokable/fillable version of our signature “little guy” so you can make him any color you like, or even outline if you want. Just to sweeten the package we included a countdown break timer that counts down from 10 minutes and then reminds your audience to return to their seats.

Also included is a custom photo slide creation system called Candy Machine. Pick a “blank” layout, then pick a cutout style and drop them into your presentation. Move the cutout around to your liking and cover up the seams with masking pieces.

Candy 2 can be purchased and downloaded from KeynoteUser.com for $26.95. Upgrades for Candy 1 owners are just $10.00.
