10 Awesome Masks to Transform a Plain Looking WordPress Theme

The WordPress theme industry is packed with highly functional themes. Talk about responsive design, custom headers, page templates and powerful theme options, it is no longer tough to find a theme that fulfill your functional requirements. However, most of the feature-packed themes tend to look plain and basic in graphic design.

With the mask idea, a theme can be transformed into an attractive design without sacrificing all the functionality inherent in the theme.

To demonstrate the concept of a theme mask, we take the Meeta theme as an example. As you see, the original design is simple. By masking it with nice images in the header, background and footer, the results can be stunning as shown in the examples below.
