can we have this theme?
I hope to see one with bigger customizable blog image header, best if its a theme with dark color. I managed to find something like this -
The “blue-black” theme on WordPress.org is simple, clean, and consistent with the general WordPress look yet has a more professional feel. I have spent quite a bit of time sifting through the available themes and can’t seem to find one that is nearly as appealing. If this theme could be added to the available themes repository, I feel that it would be extremely popular (it was only uploaded last week and has already had more than 2,500 downloads)

I really like this theme. It’s got great organization.

Hi. I am doing a free site for a charity and they would also like a blog, so I suggested that they use wordpress.com. The theme I would like to use is not available for WordPress.com blogs, but it is listed in the WordPress Theme Gallery here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/graveyard-shift
However, I would prefer the dark blue variation of the theme found here:
http://semlabs.co.uk/journal/free-fluid-wordpress-themes-and-css-templates
as those are the same colours for the site I am making.
The reason, I would like this theme is because the blog will be for a child’s eyesight charity and this is the only theme I can find that has a text resizing function. See here for the demo:

Thanks in advanced if this can be added.

It’s the GNU General Public License. Any theme used on WordPress.Com must be licensed under the GPL, which you can find among the themes files, if no where else (if there isn’t a GPL doc, it’s not licensed under that). The GPL licenses the user to use software (in this case, the theme files) in any way the user wants, including making and sharing any changes.
Reiterating an above comment, getting the rest of Scott Wallick’s ingenious themes up would be a Very Good Thing. And they are all GPL.

I call for at least one serious photoblog theme (for example one of the 26 photoblog themes listed here: http://www.bloged.it/?p=60, I suggest Grain Theme, it’s the #5) and for at least one serious magazine style theme (there are tons of mag-style themes around…).
Thank you. -
I also covet the Ocean Mist 2.0 theme http://www.tenbytwenty.com/products/wordpress-themes/ocean-mist-20

There are good themes at WordPress.com my personal choice is DePo Masthead, Spring Loaded, Journalist, and P2, K2 and many i forgot.
Well guys suggest the themes you would like to have at wordpress.com. i would go in for Cleanr by Chandra Maharzan, Thematic by Ian Stewart, and Hybrid by Justin Tadlock. -
I love WordPress.com, but I don’t use my blog because I can’t stand the theme selection and although customizable in some cases, none are customizable enough. I’d love to have the cash to dish out and go about becoming a wordpress.org member and being able to download some of the themes from there, but this isn’t something that will happen anytime soon.
If you don’t want to allow your .com users to be able to download .org and upload themes themselves, you should make the themes you do add much more customizable. Take Livejournal for example, the code can be edited so that you are capable of making your site a little more “you”, I guess.
Anyway, that’s just my two cents.

This is offered just to give everyone a little more information as to why certain things are not allowed here, such as uploading themes or editing themes.
We cannot add themes found on the internet here at wordpress.COM because they will not work as they are on this special, modified, multi-user version of wordpress.
Themes used here at wordpress.COM have to be edited for security issues and modified so that they will work on this multi-user version of wordpress, and within the restrictions here.
We cannot edit the underlying theme files here at wordpress.COM because this is a multi-user platform which means we all share the same underlying theme and wordpress files. Any change by one person would change it for everyone using that theme.

I’ll add one more thing on modifying themes: The themes for wordpress (self-hosted or here at .COM) are not written in HTML. They are written in PHP script and while there may be a fair number of people out there capable of editing or writing in HTML, there are probably only 1 in 1000 of those people that can properly edit and write PHP script without causing crashes or security issues. A mistake in PHP script can open up security holes big enough to drive a truck through, and that could jeopardize all blogs hosted here. Many of the big presences on the web, facebook, myspace, blogger, constantly have to fight the battle against bad HTML and script, and many of them have been brought down by bad script or coding.

i don’t know much about wordpress.com but are they using MU version like you (thesacredpath) said we all share the same underlying theme and wordpress files. Any change by one person would change it for everyone using that theme.
but worse still blogger has its templates and anyone can use new template from 3rd parties but there are restrictions at blogger too but not the kind as here
