Shape 5 have released a new theme and it is nice. It is nice because, well, it is a Joomla theme and sort of that is all it is.

Don't get me wrong, that isn't a bad thing. I think it is a good thing - sometimes, you just want a theme to make Joomla work and look good and this theme does it. It really does.

It isn't just the module positions or the rotating backgrounds - it is the design and functionality.

The most noticeable aspect of the Pantheon theme is the transparency, and the use of background images. This theme is completely transparent and allows you to set one or multiple background images in a rotating effect. This is also optional, so if you don't want it you don't have to have it?
