Scroller, my first Wordpress theme. I was a little anxious about releasing this one due to its unorthodox design, but finally gathered the courage to put it out there.
Is it Un Theme Diferente? yes; is it the holy grail of usability? Not! will it be adopted by the masses? I don't know. Regardless, it was definitely a fun theme to create.

Like you said, definitely a different theme in comparison to the usual fare, but some really, really cool ideas. I like the different tabs.

Comment headers don't show up properly in teh phawks browzer. It also doesn't validate, due to an anchor tag being closed without being opened.
I also don't like the fact that it doesn't sit neatly in one maximized window. I wouldn't mind scrolling through all those tiny boxes if I didn't have to scroll the whole window too.
Also, your link to the ozone color just brings me to the brown version again.
Besides that, it's neat. I find that a layout with several scrollable boxes on one page makes me more efficient (i'm a click-happy windows user, not a keyboard-only linux zealot) than a tabbed interface alone. This combination of the two seems better for me than either one on it's own.
It seems like an accessibility nightmare, but the usability, in my narrow view, seems like a huge increase over the boring 2 to 3 column layouts we see everywhere. Bravo for innovation.

I guess the concept is intresting, but it seems to me usability is something wrong as you told.
Although it is based also on a user, it is likely to become an interesting blog site. Nice work!

I certainly agree with the comment that both colours combined is better than either one alone.
Tabs are definitely a good move, but certainly some more time needs to be spent on implementing the code better.
Despite all of this, it's very good indeed.

Thanks for all the great feedback and catching some of the bugs. I will have to incorporate some of these ideas in the next version.
