Glype Designs

MintSwirl theme screenshot

MintSwirl is a single column design by growldesign.co.uk and ported to glype by this site. Growldesign has handled the difficult colors of dark blue and green well to create a beautiful design that will make your website stand out from the rest.

In addition to porting this theme to glype I have created a styled URL bar in the glype version of this theme. There are also two buttons next to the URL bar including an options button that toggles the display of the options checkboxes

Terrafirma is a design by node thirty three designs that I have ported to glype. This design makes clever use of small images and CSS to make a beautiful yet fast loading design.

In addition to a left side main content area, Terrafirma also has a right sidebar that you can use for links to your network sites or a skyscraper ad. The theme also has a horizontal navigation bar for ad links or links to sub pages. The main colors of the theme are white background, black text and orange links.

Pristine design screenshot

Pristine is a minimalistic template designed my Matt Dibbs and ported to glype by this site.

It is a very clean and simple design that makes it easy for the proxy webmaster to blend in the advertisements. Experienced proxy webmasters will tell you that simple designs often deliver the highest click through rate.

The main colours of this theme are white and red. The headings and links are red, the text black and the background white. Red links means that you can also have red colored titles in adsense ads. As I have previously pointed out red links on white with black text are high CTR colours.

Paper proxy is another open source glype proxy design by glypedesigns.com . This design looks like a piece of stained old parchment with shades of brown as the predominant colours.

Every template on this site comes with a file called the config.php file that allows you to customize the theme. Technically adept webmasters can manually edit this file to add their own adsense code, change site description etc. and generally customize the theme. However it is a php file that a lot of proxy webmasters find difficult to modify. To make it easier for a proxy webmaster to use one of the themes on this site I have created a glype theme customyzer tool.
