Stripefolio is a free clean WordPress theme by Synved esigned to function both as a readable blog and website as well as a fullscreen portfolio showcase for designers, painters, artists, photographers, etc.
The portfolio gallery is shown in a stripe at the bottom of the page that becomes opaque/visible only when moving the mouse over it. This also causes the website content to nicely and smoothly slide out of view and leave the entire browser view empty for larger versions of the gallery images to show up in an outstanding full screen mode.
