If you could change one thing about your theme, what would it be?

    For Under the Influence, I want it to have the option to change the background. And when I do change it, I want the background to be see-through. Thanks.

    To be able to apply a chat widget from other sites for visitors can chat with each other and also to be able to add music widgets from other sites or if one could be made on wordpress.com that would be great!

  • Reminder to please include the name of your theme; it can be found in the footer of your site or in your Dashboard under Appearance → Themes.

    I like the double-wide feature wizard in the 2 sidebar option for Coraline,
    this is great for tag clouds !!! /;^)

    I wish I could have that option in the Twenty-Ten theme as well.
    The drop-down sub-page menu under the header image is neat !

    Keep up the good work, WP is awesome .. /;^)

    I’d love the option to build my own theme, as I addressed in my thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-builder-suggestion?replies=1

    @chrisgiuliano
    As a matter of curiosity, how much $ are you willing to pay to do that?

    Well, considering blogger and tumblr both offer that service for free, that would be ideal, but the custom CSS upgrade is $15 per year, that’s not too bad. The only thing is that nobody knows CSS. This idea would not only help out a lot of wordpress users, but also bring wordpress itself a lot more money. It’s a win-win

    I’m not into paying for the priviledge ot creating my own theme. I’m also not into paying for a CSS upgrade and editing a stylesheet either. But if you are then that’s cool. Without doubt wordpress.com is determined to market products to end users as it’s a business and that’s what businesses do.

    I have WP on my own server for when I want to write my own themes, edit my style sheets, and do those fancy things. When I want to publish my content easily, and with up-to-date hardware & software, that has cloud-availability . . . I use wordpress.com ..
    For that convenience, I’ll do without my custom tweaks… (oh yeah, it IS free also ..)

    Now when a client wants these features, AND custom things like themes and CSS – they know it will cost, AND that is part of their business model. Such is life … /;^)

    I use the Kubrick theme; the clean and simple design is a great layout for my blogs, which include lots of artwork. It’s perfect except that (since you asked) it would be a huge help to not lose the sidebar when a visitor clicks on an individual post. Many of my visitors come from other sites that have linked to me, and when those sites link to an individual post, my visitors often don’t spot the sidebar, where there’s info I need for them to see. I’ve been considering switching to wordpress.org in order to have the flexibility to remedy this, but it seems like an overly involved solution to a fairly simple issue.

    Thanks!

    I LOVE my blog (which I just set up two days ago!). I’ve created my blog as an online version of my teaching portfolio. I am using Oulipo, which I like for its light, clean and uncluttered look, which allows visitors to the site to focus on the text. The fact that many “social” features, like the blog roll, tags, etc., are omitted from this theme adds to the professional look I wanted for this project. My ONLY complaint is that there is a no option to keep the left side-bar from being static. Though it’s not a problem on my screen, those with smaller monitors cannot see the menu options at the bottom of the page. I’ll just have to hope that no administrators or HR recruiters view the site on a mini laptop!

    So new to WP I’m clue less but would like to add photo metadata to what I post in Chaos Theory. Started with Duotone then switched to Monotone and lost Metadata I had. Can’t figure out how to restore it. Is it even possible with Chaos Theory?

    Would love it if someone went to my blog and gave me a tip or two to help me get up and running.

    I’d like the ability to adjust how wide the text box is. As it is now, some of my pictures overlap the sidebar, which I don’t care for at all. But there’s so much wasted space in the margins. If I could make those narrower, I could have a nicer looking content area.

    I’d like to see ability to change fill, border and font colors for TABS. This also applies to other TAB templates that I have tried as some are hard to distinguish from the background. I’m using Digg 3 Column and have noticed others would also like to change fill color of the tabs for Digg 3.

    I would love an option to really disable comments for some pages /posts.
    At the moment it can be done, but there will still be a “Leave a comment” text “Comments Closed” “no comments” text etc.
    This looks unprofessionell.
    I use wordpress to setup websites for business customers.
    Wordpress would become a real nicem more general purpose CMS this way.
    At the moment we had to hack the CSS (not showing the divs at all) to get rid of the unwanted “comment” stuff.

    I really like the way TwentTen is printing its content. A print.css should be with every theme!

  • Unknown's avatar

    I use Oulipo and I love it! The only thing I wish I could change it moving the comments to the bottom of the post. I write my blog to an audience and I would like to make it as easy as possible for them to contribute.
