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

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am an actual Structure addict but what I’d really really really like for the Structure theme is :
    Could the integrated search become an option that you could remove if you put an image in the header ? (and then use the widget). In the same way you can hide the text in the header, it would be great because very useful to be able to hide the search function in the header and implement the search widget.
    In fact, a lot of Structure sites I visited have the same visibility issue of the search function area than mine and it may not fit the picture we would like to put in the header.
    Thanks in advance if you decide to implement this…

    Pool theme.
    I’d like customizable column widths. Even expanding the main column width by 100px would be awesome.

    I use Coraline. I’d like to be able to change the column margins.

    If I could ask one improvement of every theme I have ever had, it is to allow me to choose NOT to display Page links prominently, especially in the Header area. I don’t want my Pages up there! But I want to have Pages. It’s a bit of a problem. If there is any way to have Pages and not have Page Links thrust in my face at the top of my theme (I use Elegant Grunge currently) I would love it.

    Theme: Misty Look

    Good morning from Germany :)

    I’d very much like to have a different color for the comments links – it’s so bad to see by now. I’m helping myself with

    <font color=”#8b0000″> </font>

    but I don’t really like to do this for every link in an answer to a comment neither do my commentators.

    Would you please be so kind to think it over?

    Best regards
    Vera

    I use Inuit for one of my blogs and I love the layout of the thing, but I really, really need a custom header. I’m having to do a makeshift version using the widget area at the top, but that means I have to turn off my blog’s name in the general settings and anyone subscribing gets a blank [] when the email comes to them.

    I use the theme Twenty Ten. I find it superb and I would find it again better if it could propose other models for the pages. For example, not to have on all pages the same widgets.
    I am very satisfied and I thank the team.

    Hi, I would like WordPress to manage blogs using more than one language. Now I’m using categories to publish my posts in arabic, french & english.

    Another thing, I tried the new SlideShow it’s working great but it would be even better if I was able to exclude some photos from a gallery and, if I could be able to use in a post, a gallery from another post : if you have the 2 post about the same subject, each in a different language (say french / english), and you want to use SlideShow, you would have to upload the same set of pictures twice, once for each post.

    Yep,

    For the theme greysed, i would like to change the image background of the blog !!!
    Sry for my poor english !!

    I’ll join the chorus for some minimal flexibility in font choices within the themes. I’d switch themes to some others I like better, but for the fonts.

    Custom background for Under the Influence theme, please…

    I use Twenty Ten and love it, but would really love the option for a left side-bar widget area. Please! It is a great theme for managing a course.

    Oh, and to have a second widget for links – one for each sidebar, so that we can create different sets of links. Thank-you!

    Can I suggest TWO things? 1) I wish the tabs on my custom menu didn’t bleed over into my top border image…thus allowing me to only use 1-2 custom menus when I’d really like to use several and 2) I wish there wasn’t a red border around all the images I place at the top of my posts! (Ocean Mist theme)

    Using Spectrum and wish I could control font options/color for Blog Title and secondary tag line below the title.

    Default font color doesn’t show up well against the header graphic.

    Also wish I could control font size across the blog. In Spectrum, font is too large.

    I am using the theme Spectrum. The one thing I would like to change is the ability to add a referral to the Home page at the top of the page where all other pages are clickable. Right now I don’t know how a visitor can return to the Home page where all postst are once they have clicked at another page at the top right hand corner of the blog. Hope I am making sense…. Am slightly computer technically challenged… ehum :)
    So, maybe I am missing something, then I would be grateful if you can share what…?
    I solved it my making a link in my right hand side bar.
    Thanks for the possibilty of having a free blog, I love my theme!!
