    How about a Kubrick-looking theme that stretches to page width? The default theme is nice, but it’s very skinny at high (1200×800 and above) resolutions. Something wider, yet aesthetic, would be nice.

  2. that girl again's avatar that girl again Sep 9th at 5:17 pm

    As regards feminine themes: Gail Dela Cruz’s stuff is pretty without being teenagerish, and the Rounded themes are both funky and floral. Naturally something Moxie-esque would be fantastic, but you’d have trouble finding it for free.

  3. comunicatestesso's avatar comunicati Sep 9th at 5:33 pm

    Hi staff!
    I’d like some themes divided into cathegories, such as: cinema, cartoons, places in the world, animals, cultures…

    Then, I’d like if it colud be possible to personalize the colors of the theme choosed, with the possibility to insert pictures into the theme…

    don’t know if this is too much… but these are my whishes for the future! ;P

    thank you

    I like the -WordPress Default- theme.
    Only thing is the background, i like to see it black, and keep all things like it is now.
    That will do, just turn it black…

    Or try to amaze me more and put another black theme for all of us, but the more -WordPress Default- look alike in features the better.

  10. Barbara Harper's avatar Barbara H. Sep 9th at 11:03 pm

    I’d love to see a few more feminine choices particularly something with soft pink roses. 🙂

  11. butchjax's avatar butchjax Sep 9th at 11:23 pm

    I love Andreas09 as a theme. I just wish there were different color options. Maybe if we had the option to make our own color themes, within reason of course, that would be nice.

  12. lqz's avatar lqz Sep 9th at 11:26 pm

    Call me bias but I would mind seeing this one added.

    Sorry about the miss post under the Custom Header Improvements post.

    really i wish a theme like frankestein, where you can take parts from another themes and put them, so we can do a really diferent blog, i f you do that you gonna have migrations from blogger…this is a very good suggest

    There is no particular theme I have in mind, but I’d love to have some more designs available that use three columns (main text area + 2 sidebar columns) instead of just two.

  25. timethief's avatar timethief Sep 10th at 10:29 pm

    I’m asking that before you take only these responses into consideration that you also use the search box on the support forum and the ideas forum. The reason I’m making this request is that I have observed most folks contributing to this thread are not volunteering on the forum and maybe completely unaware of the consensus that has been reached there.

    Regardless of the theme in question, aside from the subjective ‘not-being-ugly’ the non-negotiable features are:

    1. widgets (duh)
    2. next/prev post links
    3. sidebar in single post view
    4. commentable page template
    5. custom header image
    6. ‘wide enough’ content column (to accomodate images of 500 pixel widths)
    7. bullet for lists
    8. fat footers with widgets
    9. a special widget for the most popular posts or at the very least an icon
    10. search boxes with “auto fill” and rss subscribing links
    11. the capacity to change font sizes
    12. attention getting dark coloured or highlighted links that do not fade into the background
    13. sidebars that can be moved either to the left or right (everyone is not right handed)
    14. an option to not send pingbacks to your own blog
    15. make the number of recent comments in the widget user-configurable
    16. hard code a header to the forums on all themes suggesting to visitors that if they have an offsite blog, they need to be over in WP.org land
    17. ensure all themes have Previous/ Next links on their single.php page so readers don’t have to keep using their back buttons
    18. some themes with a width of more than 450
    19. Google and Yahoo Sitemap verification
    20.

  26. timethief's avatar timethief Sep 10th at 10:44 pm

    Excuse me for submitting again but I see some errors and duplications in the post I just made.As all these comments are moderated I’m going to start from scratch again and ask that you kill my first submission immediately above this one and forgive me for the inconvenience caused by my vision problem. Here we go again.

    Regardless of the theme in question, aside from the subjective ‘not-being-ugly’ and ‘not being another K2 theme” the non-negotiable features are:

    1. widgets on all thmes

    17. Google and Yahoo Sitemap verification
    18. more widgets (ie coComment, Weather, etc.) It seems like we’re OK with Javascripts as long as the user input for them is just text strings since we’re doing this on the Flickr one
    19. a link to the WHOIS lookup over on DNSStuff.com
    20. the capacity for the person making comments to edit them like we can in the forum *lol*

    Although your post is clearly aimed at a “name the themes” type of response I think it would be unfair to those who have sent in feedbacka and who are are patiently waiting for themes like fauna beta 5 to see any of the themes suggested here added before their requests are met.

    Thanks, in advance for providing these theme features along with the themes that are introduced.

    Sincerely, tt.

  27. blogfrontier's avatar blogfrontier Sep 11th at 2:58 am

    Actually my two favorites are Jakarta (and Andreas (http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/704/wp-andreas01-12/). Both are very clean, highly-functional styles but neither one is exactly what I want. So I find myself trying to tweak and tweak the code. Since I’m new to WordPress and to PHP, this is a bit of a challenge.

    I understand that the author of Jakarta has now switched to using Joombla for content management. Too bad for us.

    I think that the “Nautica05” template is the best I have ever seen.
    What’s your opinion?

    I hope that the webmasters will install it!

  36. Lisa Mighton's avatar lmighton Sep 12th at 5:31 am

    Hi

    Currently I think there is only one theme with three columns (main body text, and a column sidebar down either side). I would like to see choices of a few different themes with this layout – three columns.

    Also, I would love it if there was a feature on a bunch of the themes that allowed you to check an on/off box for whether you want a blog subtitle enabled.

    I really love the new Pressbox theme, but I need a subtitle – not available with this theme at the moment

  37. Loger's avatar Loger Sep 12th at 3:50 pm

    I would LOVE to see WP-Andreas01 by Andreas Viklund here!! I think it is a brilliant and sweet little theme, simple and very useful. And I love the fact that the blog part has two sidebars, while pages only have one sidebar. Not to forget, Andreas is a nice guy and WP-Andreas01 is one of the most popular themes on the official theme viewer site…. 🙂

    Here is the link: http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/704/wp-andreas01-12/

  38. 0xCAFE's avatar Babalou Sep 12th at 7:10 pm

    It’s not really a new theme request, but rather translating current theme to French.

    For example, some themes shows “Posted in” while they should say “Posté dans”. A few themes are OK, but not all of them.

  39. Jason's avatar jasonintx Sep 13th at 4:16 am

    I agree with the others that it would be nice to change the default font size/color of themes. Most are too small.

    Wow, I just checked out K2. It’s so much more than a plain ‘ol theme with the AJAX features and sub-styles. If K2 was added to wordpress.com would the K2 styles be available for us to choose?
