If you could change one thing about your theme, what would it be?
-
To all themes: the background image can now be left, right and center. but it is always at the top of the website. I would like it if I could also choose up, center or down in the vertical direction.
I think that this is not difficult to make?
-
The two themes I find myself rotating between are Enterprise and zBench. The common change I would like to see made between the two is the ability to change the color of the top menus. I feel like the default black makes it tough to find a good color combination for things.

hi
i’m using Motion by 85ideas. the only thing i want is to get everything in dutch now i still
have english and dutch

I use Bueno and would LOVE an option to be able to TURN OFF the all caps in the title and the tagline. Seems an odd choice to force caps when you could simply just type in all caps instead.
Would also be interested to have pixel control over the width of my page.

On my second blog I use Vigilance. Would love the Header to be customisable to look more like TwentyTen. Picture crisper, Blog heading above picture, tag above picture. Everything else is great.

Prior to the ability to create a custom menu (which I added last weekend and LOVE!), I would have had a couple suggestions. The custom menu answered many of my needs for my K2 theme, one of which is that my blog page is not listed in my Pages widget and I can’t make that happen, and I wanted direct navigation ability.
I had designed my header to *make invisible* the top tabs –a bit clunky for me– so the word “blog” was not visible up there, and relied on the Pages widget in the sidebar for navigation. I had decided to re-design my header to the top tabs were aesthetically appealing to me, and came across the custom menu. Perfect timing, WP! Many great things to say about the custom menu, and it solved several frustrations for me.
Thanks for asking and thank you for continuing to improve our themes.

I use Elegant Grunge, and the only thing I would change, is to make the “comment” link next to every post, bigger or bold style. It’s tiny and it doesn’t stands out as I would like it to do it. Friends that visit my blog tell me the same.
Happy new year from Spain, and keep on with the good work here in wordpress, I’m an ex-windows-live-spaces and I really appreciate to have migrated my blog here. (sorry if I made some mistakes in english!)
thanks! -
It’s Ok but If possible I maybe had liked to have poss. to make a kind of “Banner” around the Post Titel…
-
Actually, there are a few improvements I would like see with regards to ELEGANT GRUNGE, which I just activated this year:
1. The Links ought to be bulleted in some form. I have to capitalise the first word of each post heading to make, say, Top Posts more visible.
2. The Twitter handles are not highlighted in the Sidebar widget as they should be.
3. I support another commenter who said that the default black of the header does not permit me to colour the text of the blog title brown, the characteristic colour of the Woodshed Group of blogs that includes Woodshed Entertainment.Otherwise, I always go gaga over each theme I choose. No worries there.

I use Rubric, the cleanest flexible-width theme that has a custom header picture.
1) I would like for the tag pointers at the top of each post to point to the other articles in my blog that have the same tag (as the tag cloud does, for example), not uselessly off to the wordpress.com/tag/ pages.
2) It would be nice to be able to put a wider picture in the Rubric header, but that is less important.
3) I find the different header picture aspect ratios a problem for changing themes. Having to create a new picture for each theme is a problem, and many of the themes have ridiculously wide headers (or rather, too high an aspect ratio: they’d be fine if they were a bit taller). Rubric, which is otherwise my favorite of the blog formats, needs a wider picture.

Would love if ChaoticSoul had Next Post and Previous Post links. I think this as an option would be great for EVERY theme (maybe even with setting options for whether they display above post/below post/at all).
-
I use Beuno. I would love it if you could hide the header so that you could use a custom header by itself instead. Also, for the default title – it would be great if you could have the option of having your blog title be in upper and lower case instead of just caps.

I’m new to WordPress and after searching through all of the available themes, I found one I like, but found another that I love on wordpress themes base (don’t know if it’s actually associated with wordpress). I would like the ability to be able to upload my own theme, which I thought would be as easy as uploading a photo, but I’ve been told it isn’t.
-
Oulipo – Perhaps the header is not tall enough and I’m pretty sure it is not adjustable. Subscribers wonder why the rest of my photo up there is inaccessible. I love the way this theme scrolls, though, so I put up with the fact that it is hard to find a photo that fits that dimension.
I’m so new, though, I wonder if it is just my own mistake and I could be perfectly happy if only I could figure out everything at once.
-
Three, not one :
The ability to change the width of the columns easily.
The ability to change the fonts of easily without the TypeKit which is very un-user friendly.
The headers are a constant irritation across all the themes. Need the option to put your own header in and customise as you require with the wording being placed as you require. Very inflexible so far.

Cooler RSS feed icons. There are millions available for free, why can’t we have some options.
-
If I could change one thing on Pilcrow, (ideally to all themes) it would be to add a custom widget to make a compact icon bar with “Subscribe to RSS, “Follow Me on Twitter”, “Friend Me on Facebook” etc., icons with rollover text. (This would be similar to the existing “Share this” icon bar below blog entries letting visitors share with people in THEIR networks.)
At present, WordPress.com users, including me, all have to individually add Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc., icons to our Media folders and then use HTML to put them in a text widget. If there were a custom icon bar with one set of icons, available to all users, it would save WordPress oodles of Media space on your servers….
Thanks for asking my opinion!X (A Happy WordPress.com User)

I am using the Titan theme and can NOT figure out how to add a graphic to replace the generic text in the header. Is there any way I can do this? I love my theme otherwise, but not graphically pleasing at the top :(
-
I would love when people comment on a post that they do not have to check the box to receive notification of replies. I would like to set that the box is automatically checked by default. It is easy to click Submit when commenting before checking the box. They then have to keep checking back to the blog for replies. Bummer.

Twenty Ten: The one thing I want to change is to remove the entry-author-info panel below every post. I am my blog’s only author! It makes no sense to have this panel when there are no other authors, and I already have an About page to tell readers who I am.
Blockquotes are another fault in Twenty Ten, as willcookson mentioned above. I can work around this by changing the HTML, but it is laborious.
And the black bar above the header image was annoying. The design would have been more flexible if that black bar had been part of the image, allowing blog owners to decide for themselves whether to keep it.
