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.
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.
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
A Windows Vista based theme?

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.
I’d love to see a few more feminine choices particularly something with soft pink roses. 🙂
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.
Call me bias but I would mind seeing this one added.
Sorry about the miss post under the Custom Header Improvements post.
Plain Vanilla is a simple classic one that I’d really like to see up for choice.
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
I would absolutly love it if my Red is Nice theme were added to WordPress. It supports widgets and all that nice stuff.
It’s available on my blog : http://winnopeg.com/themes/redisnice
Thanks. 🙂
If I’m in time, what about Ginseng Coffee?
http://www.jtkconsulting.com/GinsengCoffee/
HI, i’d Like Custom Header Image in the default theme. I’ve done this request in the forum too, and even in the FeedBack..
I’ll wait faithfully!
i’d like »white as milk« to have an optional header image, that would be nice.
more goth! more goth!
Hi, Id like a template something like this :
http://templates.arcsin.se/Transparentia/
Thanks 😀
Connections Reloaded
. It is a revamped version of Connections. Very nice indeed.
my options
Qwilm! 0.3
Vistered Little 1.6
ChaoticSoul 1.0
Water 1.1
in the descending order….
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.
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.
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
2. next/prev post links
3. sidebar in single post view

16. hard code headers 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. 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.
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.
equiX
, one theme to rule them all 😀
Best theme ever!
Something for Nurses
Some with a wallpaper background image
More girlie, pretty themes PLEASE, PLEASE!!
Cats, maybe with some paw prints
Something where we can write in different colors and different fonts and font sizes.
Thanks a bunch!
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!
Thanx a lot!
Yes i would like to see totally black theme with header changing option. like http://www.q8pictures.com
I would this one with columns on the right. It woul be just the thing. Or any other simple white template with to columns on the right. U guys are great.
Unsleepable or Qwilm! 0.3, please… =/
K2, without any doubts!
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
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/
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.
I agree with the others that it would be nice to change the default font size/color of themes. Most are too small.
Blue Moon please!
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=479
Chameleon and Andreas06 from webgazette.co.uk
to the dozen or so motions to my suggestion… GO GO K2! XD
How about Bosco, it’s Widget Friendly…
http://www.solostream.com/2006/07/22/wordpress-theme-bosco-10-widgets/
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?
http://k2.stikipad.com/docs/show/K2+Styles+and+Mods
ANYTHING NOT FIXED WITH! Please. Even just modifying current themes to work on % rather than px would be great.
I love AdaptVint 1.0 (download 237). Simple but beautiful.
(sorry if this is double posting)
Erisfree themes please!
http://www.erisfree.com/d2/apart.php
Something based on Panic! At the disco!
We are using this blog to track our wedding planning. It would be great to have a theme for this! Something simple, not too cheesy! The sidebars could be labeled for wedding type things like: hotels, local info, registry links, etc.
I’d love to see themes with hierarchical categories. For now, only about 4 themes from 41 have this feature 😦
I would love it if there was some sort of indicator as to which theams had a custom header. And please dont get rid of old themes, maybe you could have a second page of “not so cool” themes.
Would be great to have anything by http://5thirtyone.com/
Either http://5thirtyone.com/5thirtyonev2 or http://5thirtyone.com/foliage
Great job!
Please, add this theme:
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/2-columns/701/vistered-little-1/
Here’s my votes:

Glued Ideas, Subtle
This is an absolutetly exquisite Presentation style!
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/747/glued-ideas-subtle-01/
No specific theme in mind, but I’d really like a clean, neutral-colored three-column theme with a customizable header image.
I like a theme which has SMALLER default fonts, and SMALLER frames… and with a header of course 😀 thank you
Another vote for tarski – http://tarskitheme.com/
Id move my wordpress.org main blog to wordpress.com if tarski was available. 🙂
I would love to see “Foliage mod 1.02” here! It’s very cool and dynamic I think! 8)
http://themes.wordpress.net/testrun/?wptheme=343
Japanese Cherry Blossom. Please?
I adore the Mtplog Theme. It was an old predefined theme of plog, I suppose.
I haven’t found a better download site:
http://and3rs.an.funpic.de/templates/mtplog/
Thank you!
something simple… clear… few colors… and CUSTOMIZABLE!!!
WP.com needs some more 3-column themes like these :
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/977/kubrick-revamped-10/
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/871/cordobo-green-park-09-beta-09/
http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/849/3k2redux-klein/
Menco, that cordobo green is awesome! I agree, that should be included.
How about
Ocean Mist 1.0
and
Mistylook 2.0 ?
I like those themes and hope they will be added. Thanks 🙂
