Gillion is a brand new WordPress theme for blogs and magazine sites. It was developed by the Shufflehound author with a responsive layout so that your website will display the same on any screen size device.
Gillion has twelve demos ready to be imported for a fast start of a fashion, food, tech, or lifestyle website. The Post layouts are a great way to add style to your pages by using an adaptive grid, plain grid, mixed, or a range of other options to bring your content to life. It also has custom slider layouts like carousel, boxed, full width, fancy and mosaic.
In the WP dashboard, you can find the Gillion Admin Panel that helps you control, update, change and modify many of the elements of the theme without any coding knowledge.
Gillion comes bundled with the premium Visual Composer page builder plugin and is compatible with the MailChimp plugin.

I don’t like it much because of the lack of control, common elements and widgets,etc. Newspaper 9 combined with the Gillion’s UI would be the best match as newspaper 9 has got pretty much everything one needs to customize it but UI is not extraordinary like Gillion and Salient. But still newspaper 9 is my first priority.
