Something with the Gabbly chat widget?
Umm.. the one Dario suggested is not a wordpress theme, it’s a social news website. I’m pretty sure you wordpresarios are smart enough to figure that one out though.
I would like to see a theme specifically designed for multi-author blogs. call me selfish (I have one) but it would be cool with options to make posts more personal.. For example with authors avatars on the posts, integrated post/author search etc.
– How about widgeting Fauna?
– How about a dark theme, black with light fonts? – Other than Hemingway, same style, but a 2 column theme ya know?
I would like something featuring chocolate brown with other color options. Maybe something featuring chocolate candy might be nice too.

Hope that some of these themes get included. Thanks! Great job ,guys!
I would like fSpring or fHeaven.
http://www.fahlstad.se/themes/
Please?
A few themes which are suitable for BUSINESS or CORPORATE would be fine.
something clean based on art.
white background. colors, pencils, crayons, color pencils, paint brushes or someone writing on the header.
I’d like to see the current (and future) Templates with a 3 column option (where possible) in addition to the 2 column layouts that dominate the options.
Something based on literature for book/reader blogs: featuring books, paper, quills. Nice graphics and fonts.
I agree a 3 column option with more of a modern feel. With some of the templates there aren’t color options more color options per design.
cheers
1. A few music themes – old classical, jazzy, rock ‘n roll, progressive, metal — whatever…
2. Something good for science — ex. space, DNA bio, physics, numbers etc.
3. Some medieval themes – ex. knights & dragons, castles, old ships…
4. Hi-tech – ex. iPodish, bits & bytes, nano-tech
5. Military – ex. soldiers, tanks, jet fighters, operations theater maps, symbols, squadron patches…
5. Religious – ex. celtic script pages, symbologies, dove, cross, 2nd coming etc.
Thanx
Perhaps some more three-column styles?
A theme which is suitable for photoblogging would be fine.
I left 2 comments with a link for two themes but my comments weren’t posted.
Something like Contempt,professional looking.
I’d like to see something based on comic books too… and I also agree with aishel, three column styles are cool
One word: Customizable
Any three-column, custom-header-image theme. You must understand, for blogs with many links, three-column themese are absolutely important. And considering the demand, there is a very meagre number of themse: One.
Freshy FTW!
Failing that, A really, really customizable theme would be nice.
Full page blog layouts! Why buy a 19″ screen and have to scroll down 50 times to read a post? I know people see narrower is “easier on the eye”, but for those of us who have a lot to say…wider or manipulatable widths! I like my current “Shocking Blue Green”, but it’s about the only option you guys offer.
When you revise, add descriptions or change the preview so that we know how wide the margins are without having to instal and preview every single one to find the right “size” margins. It’s very hard to tell from the previews.
Is it possible to also ask for a theme upgrade? It would be nice to have Green Marinée upgraded to latest version, 1.0.1. It has some issues fixed (among the others the green border around smilies). Here is the link:
Green Marinée 1.0.1
http://e-lusion.com/greenmarinee/
Thanks
Full paged themes for posts with greater widths. And preview panes revised on the existing that give a better idea of margins. I bought a 21″ screen and have to SCROLL a million times to read a long post. Kind of annoying to me (I know they say smaller margins are easier on the eyes, but I wasn’t polled I don’t guess!)
I really like that Origami theme. Something like that, but it must be widget friendly and have personalized headers….
Check out Origami for WordPress 2.0 at http://www.leevigraham.com/. This is BRILLIANT and the customization options on top provide the reader with more power.
Widths as percentages of the screen estate instead of fixed. No need for the blank space on either side of the content.
Someone above said a Mac OSX looking theme. Sleek icons, sleek interface.. very clean. That would be ideal. I think that would be very nice. To keep my interest in the theme spree, I suggest a surprise Saturday morning to see let’s say five new themes unveiled.
Just get custom header for default theme huh
I agree with aishel etc. More 3 column themes pllease, with custom header.
anaconda, and some good three-column themes, please.
I’m a big fan of the minimalistic look of the themes at plaintxt.org, especially blog.txt (which is also the theme used by the site itself).
Barthelme also comes from this site.
Striped Plus
would make life easier for some of us.
Hi,
What I am really missing are more choices in themes with a feminine look. Nice, tasteful, not too flashy, but just feminine.
You could just allow Kubrick to have custom headers.
I also agree that K2 would be great. It looks so clean and fresh. I have been suggesting this for months.
😎
Bossa by Pu!
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/538/dark-header-15/
Please 🙂
sum thing, in full size, 1024size please, i hate the small ones!
More 3 column themes. (I have too many categories and keep those seperate)
Origami (http://www.leevigraham.com) is stunning.
Pink! or…
Something girly without being fit for a teenager–think sex in the city, project runway, audrey hepburn…
ChaoticSoul, please?
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/134/chaoticsoul-10/
As long as it’s not blue and has an option for inserting images into the header I’m good.
Anita Marie
some http://www.thoughtmechanics.com/templates/ wouldnt hurt
Would love to see “Coffee Cup” from Alex King’s web page: http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/theme_browser.php
Another vote forBarthelme here.
Ihave begged for it 3 times I will do so again please please please please please Put China Red as an option !!!!!! I love you guys and think you are doing a great job .Please please please !!!
Of course something ultraminimalistic, clean and neat, always white -in order not to bore o fatige aour eyes-… something elemental, as i said:
U L T R A M I N I M A L I S T I C !!!!!!!!
I wouldn’t mind seeing blog.txt either.
http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/blogtxt/
modern, three columns
Would love “Juicy” from Alex King’s web page: http://www.alexking.org/software/wordpress/theme_browser.php
All from http://www.thoughtmechanics.com/
This guys made a great work!
My vote goes to True Blue or Binary Blue. Either or, but True is just the icing on the cake in terms of looks and functionality.
Well, can’t think of a specific theme I’d like to see, but I would suggest the WordPress team to update and add new themes periodically, like every two months or something like that.
Themes whose banner and widgets can be modified are really good.
Borderline Chaos 1.9 by Marianne. It is such a simple and yet colorful theme.
OMG OMG OMG Vistered Little 1.6 This one I beg!!
Oh, I just found a really cool one I’d like to see here at wordpress!!!!
“Into The Light”
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/887/into-the-light/
I like the ones on Vox that are skylines of various cities. I’d love that, but only if you include Boston. 😉
I’d loove to see an update of Fauna!!! PLEASE! 😀
I clicked on each link from every single request (just about!) and these are the themes I liked just as well:
Tree **
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=890
Easy White **
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=877
Easy Black **
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/820/easy-v4/
Chaotic Soul
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/134/chaoticsoul-10/
http://www.brajeshwar.com/archives/2006/08/nishita-another-free-photo-blog-wordpress-theme/
http://www.fahlstad.se/dev/
I think we’d like to see new themes that are simple and clean with either a white background or black background; stylishly chic-feminine themes; and of course, flexible, customizable themes.
Thanks for asking… you guys are awesome!
** Pretty Please!
Anything that has more than one sidebar. Just as long as it can all fit the screen and not overlap. But these look cool:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/899/sweetbuzz-pink-10/
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/1-column/763/slined-mod-20author-dandyna/
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/809/nuberu-10/
Something like snapshot tequila on blogger: activeanguish.blogspot.com or minima black.
I’d like to see some of the minimalist ones like hemmingway and so on have customised sidebars/bottom bars.
I’d also like to see an option to have Blogrolls on a separate page- like links.
And I agree with Alison about the cityscapes on Vox. I especially like the three column theme I have with different customisable colours- vishy.vox.com
I have heaps of blogs on other services while I check out their features and get new ideas for my WordPress site. I still prefer wordpress, it’s brilliant. Keep up the good work!
How about my theme? http://avalonstar.com/2006/03/22/introducing-chaoticsoul/ :p
Anyway, please only post themes that are available to the public. We’re not out to take designs from other sites that have not been released for public use. Thanks. 🙂
many themes have a similar style – my favorite themes are the ones I can personalize.
i also really think a theme that’s readable but stylish is important, as well as a larger one. the prettiest ones are so skinny, i feel weird about all that wasted space on one side of the screen.
if this just revealed that i am not a savvy web user — oops.
oh and also…not everyone loves blue!! I have seen themes that i really think can work, but everything has some kind of blue in it – oh for gods sake!! don’t be an anti-blue-hater.
hmm…something cute…? With a pawprint theme, maybe? *grinwink*
~TC
something elegant, black & white – perhaps kinda like a newspaper??
I love all your themes, cant wait to see some new ones,
but please DO NOT DELETE THE OLD ONES, they’re really cool too.
I love my blog, if anything happend to the theme, then I’d cry,. and my fans would too 😦
I really like this one… it is for all those Hemingway lovers… or am I the only one who like that theme… anyway here it is:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/1-column/499/japanese-cherry-blossom-10/
Black and pink with a distincy Japanese feel… the comments graduated from a light pink to the hottest pink the further you scroll down.
I think it has widgets which Hemingway does not have any…
Another one that is inspired by the Hemingway theme is this one:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/1-column/929/d3s1gn-4uck-1/
It has more of a rustic feel to it.
Another one based on Hemingway which I really like and is modern is this one:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/754/ultraminima-v-102/
Thanks guys

I would love Vistered Little by Nik Iliadis from scarylittlemonkey.com. It’s a great theme because it allows for customizability on the user’s end, as well as looking cool. That coupled with some nice backgrounds for the theme would be great!
similar to Benevolence 1.0, Ambiru 1.0, Emire 1.0, Hemingway 0.1 ALPHA, Green Marinée 1.0, Jentri 1.0, Treba 1.0, and White as Milk, would be great 😉
and another thing is font type and size 😉
I really like – http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/385/starburst/ – but having said that, I’m really picky about being able to use custom headers and play with sidebar widgets and such and such.
😉
I like Rubric 1.0, but the sidebar isn’t too friendly. An improved version of it would be great!
I agree with tekoda about not deleting any of the old/current themes (please don’t!). But new additions are definitely welcome.
A simple theme with lots of options would be good. The standard white centre body, but with a palette-choice of surrounding colour (black as default) and uploadable tiled image option, along with customizable header (similar to the ‘Neat!’ and ‘Benevolence’ themes), font/colour options in navbar, and widget options. Also, it would be great to have the choice of making a blog’s pages not show up in the navbar so that other pages linked to one page don’t appear like an open drop-down menu in the navbar and make it look cluttered.
The more flexible and ‘personalizeable’, the better!
1. Please let all the themes have the “Edit” feature for the authors when they have logged in.
2. Please let all the themes have the ability to show the couple of lines we write “about” the blog in the header.
3. Please allow some simple amount of customization with themes just like “Regulus”.
WordPress rocks. Both .com and .org
I believe it is still in the growth stage, just like all FREE (freebie + freedom) technologies.
Something Regulus Style?
What about a vote?? Let the user pick the top 3 themes? And then that determines the “winner”.
I wanna see them too.
I’d like to see a comic book theme too…
Hmmm, actually I’d love to be able to put an image on my classic wordpress header, just as it is. just be able to change teh image. that would be beautiful 😀
raibow colors in a theme and a white or very light blue or light pink background!
my theme is perfect i guess, thank you.. if you’re asking about the look..
but features, to prevent someone post with my name cuz it happened, they used my name and my email to post a comment and of course my blog url.. nothing tells them that they are not authorised..
u rule guys, thanks
Hi guys.
I was thinking about your paid CSS upgraid and your sandbox theme and i thought it would be cool if you made some of the CSS avaliable as free sliders (color on some of the divs, maybe positioning etc) but save only the best CSS features for the paid upgrade. That might encourage people to buy the paid upgrade too.
By the way, I have made a google widget for wordpress. It’s got loads of bugs at the moment, but I’m going to upgrade it.

Something customizable would be great, like Regulus. Thank you!
@avuee
Voting would be a good idea.
I’m looking forward to see some really cool fresh themes :-).
Something with two colomns.
😉
It would be great if we have the following themes..
1. Emire 1.0
2. Butterfly
3. Gunmetal
Thanks so much..
This may have been covered by now but how about a themethat alows blogrolling?
http://www.cinexl.net/blog/http://openswitch.org/
I would like a white simple one, but with the possibility of having my own picture/logo on top, and also links to my pages. Less space between the links in the blogroll than I get in Simpla.
I need the theme: ChaoticSoul , Foliage Mod , Angelical or . into the light
Plz publish one of it.
As long as it was two collums well made and looking nice I’ll go for any theme (I specially like the comics (sin city style) and the silver/red suggestions)
I second the motion for True Blue. (http://stevelam.org/projects/trueblue/)
updated fauna (i know it’s not finished, but beta 1 is sooooo old)
http://noscope.com/fauna
tarski – another heavily customizable, and gorgeous theme
http://tarskitheme.com/
and any of scott’s themes (i personally love blog.txt, but i see a lot of love for barthalme in this thread already, and that would work for me too)
http://plaintxt.org
I’d Love to see some of Eris Free’s (http://erisfree.com/) Themes on wordpress! Persnickety, Just Dashing, and Faintly Victorian esspecialy. 😀 with 2 and 3 column options very versital.
Some Eris Free (http://www.erisfree.com/d2/apart.php) Themes would be awesome.
Spacificly:
Persnickety
Just Dashing
Fava Beans and a Nice Chianti
Faintly Victorian
They’re all customizable by a 2 or three column option as well as what side you’d want your smaller column on if its two 😀
Some darker and more earthy themes too please (black and green). All this white no matter how pretty and useful it is gets boring and hurts the eyes after a while.
I’d like to see sports-related themes, with football and basketball and baseball players on different ones, so sports bloggers like myself can use the theme associated with the sport they cover.
Uh, just forgot to mention:
Next stable release of Hemingway 0.1 ALPHA! Without an ALPHA! How about Hemingway 1.0 FINAL? And how about “White’n’Black” instead of “Black’n’White” … 😉
wow! i was waiting for this 😀
these are three wonderful themes for wordpress:
1. Liquid Fluid Solution: http://www.anieto2k.com/mis-themes/fluid-solution-un-theme-liquido-muy-elegante/
2. Black Minimalism: http://www.cinexl.net/blog/?p=63
3. I HAEV STYLE TO: http://www.anieto2k.com/mis-themes/i-haev-style-modificacion/
i also agree with this one: http://www.jide.fr/english/downloads/template-freshy-wordpress/
greetings!
More choices with two sidebars.
Smooth Dirt: http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/782/smooth-dirt-10/
