  No you are limited to the themes listed under appearance > themes. If you have CSS editing experience, you can, with the paid CSS upgrade, stylize the look of the themes here, and with the Sandbox theme, it is virtually wide open and it is amazing what can be done with it. You cannot however change the underlying functionality of a theme with the CSS upgrade.
