    I would like to request Durable WordPress Theme v0.2.1. This is the final version of Durable that there will be no newer versions.

    Durable puts site users in control of page colors, allowing them to create their own personal themes for the site. Each element of the page is editable in real time; the user can select the colors for backgrounds, text and links.

    Administrators of the site can go a little further. Their color choices can either be saved as a personal theme, or saved as the site’s new theme so that all users will see their color selections.

    The color selection is done via the “Options” menu, visible in the menu bar of every page, and colors update as soon as they’re selected thanks to the very cool ColorMod color selector.
    Durable’s Features

    * On the fly color scheme editing for you and your users.
    * Live AJAX search for archives accessible on any page
    * Drop-down menu sections for Archives, Pages, Links and Search, removing the clutter and giving more space for your articles.
    * Dedicated archives page showing a “tag cloud” for Months and Tags/Categories.
    * Fluid design, meaning users with larger monitors will benefit from extended reading space.
    * The following admin options via the WordPress administrator interface;
    o Switching between the “Torn Page” effect or solid colors for page sections
    o Text alignment of articles (left or justified)
    o Number of posts to show on front page (3, 5, 7 or 9)
    o Switching color changing on or off

    Get it here: http://www.blazenewmedia.com/projects/durable
    And add it to wordpress.com please.

    Thanks a lot!

    This looks like an interesting. It would have to be re-coded for wpMU but if so I do believe it will attract a following due to it’s built-in versatility.

    Unfortunately, Durable sounds a little too complex to be suitable for wordpress.com. You have to remember that we’re running on a different version of wordpress, and all this AJAX stuff tends to be incompatible with the setup here.

    If there are enough requests then staff might install a ‘lite’ version which looks like Durable even if it doesn’t have the extra functionality you describe, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

    Thanks for entering the dialogue wank. I appreciate it because as you know I’m not at all technical. So from what you are saying it doesn’t seem to me that it would be worthwhile to expend staff time on re-coding a theme that just mimics Durable but doesn’t deliver the functionality. Thus it seems the best bet for those who want this theme will probably be to self host or to get a web host and download the theme from wordpress.org.

    well, you would have thought that about k2, as well. ;) but yes, themes like durable make hosting your own blog worthwhile.
