New Theme: Bueno
Bueno is a stylish and fun theme featuring a custom header, custom background, and multiple fresh color schemes.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Bueno’s rainbow of alternate color schemes, default dotted background pattern, and fun chunky typefaces make this a great theme for any type of blog. The optional custom header and custom background features will help you customize this design and really make it your own.
And Bueno has lots of other nice little touches—things like featured images, custom widgets, custom page templates, and drop-down menus.
Bueno is available today from your dashboard in Appearance→Themes and, for self-hosted WordPress.org users, from WooThemes.

Very nice theme.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Nothing special for the UK elections today … oh no wait, it has multiple colour schemes. Change your colour scheme to match your party!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
Ooooh, very good.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Very cool. I was just admiring this theme the other day, and thinking that, design-wise, it’s one of Woo Themes’ best offerings, even though it’s free.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Hey—that’s a good-looking theme. Again … I will try it out, and say “thanks! looks wonderful”—so much fun to have all these new themes rolling out … keep up the good work!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Not good. Why are the WordPress themes so similar to one another? People can’t think different?
May 6th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Sorry this theme didn’t make the cut for you, Shaikul, but we’re continuing to launch more and more themes and I hope we can find the perfect theme for you. If you have any ideas for more unique themes you’d like to see on WordPress.com we’d love to hear from you in our ideas forum.

I might like this one…
May 6th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
I really like this one!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
I love it!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
I love these! Thanks!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Very cool!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Nice. I like it.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
Can you upload your own background image and choose a solid background color without the dot pattern?
May 6th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Yep. With Bueno activated, visit the Background page under your Appearance menu.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
This is one that makes me think about changing the theme on my blog! Love it!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
You guys are really rocking
Wah!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
Nice theme, I like it.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
I love this one
Might have to try it out!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
This is awesome! If I didn’t just change my theme to another awesome one this would be the one!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Nevermind – the pictures are a bit small … any theme that’s great for large photos? I’m using neutra right now and I love the line spacing and focus on photos, just not too fond of the color scheme and lack of header … tips?
Oh, and thanks for keeping them coming!
May 6th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Awesome, will try it on my blog
May 6th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
I like it. Thanks for sharing. ^^
May 6th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
THIS IS THE THEME I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!
Thank you. This is a beauty
You guys are doing awesome with all these new themes.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
How do you get the Custom Page Templates? This theme would be great if I could just make the writing area wider and alter the font used in the header. Sigh.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
The Custom Page Templates are available from the Attributes module when creating or editing a Page. And if you’re comfortable editing CSS, you can alter the header fonts using our Custom CSS upgrade. I hope that helps, Technogram.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
I love this one too. I love so many of the themes that it just makes me want to create more blogs!
May 6th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
I really like this theme, and have applied this to my blog already! I am having fun playing around with the settings … thanks for this lovely theme.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
Ian, would it be possible for you guys to make numbered comments available on all themes? I understand the supposed conflict with threaded comments, but you can make it an either/or. I am severely limited theme-wise by the fact that I cannot use 99% of the themes, since I MUST have numbered comments, but I don’t use threaded comments. Thanks for all your hard work.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Good suggestion, Greenbaggins. We’ll take it under consideration.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
Wow, amazing!
May 6th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
This is … muy bueno!!! Love it. Thanks so much once again for letting us go “shopping” amongst all the new themes. This one is very cool!
May 6th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Not bad!
May 6th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Hats off to you and your Theme Team, for are providing these beautiful new themes to us WordPress.com bloggers. You are expanding choices and that means greater satisfaction as more and more of us can locate a theme that best frames our content, and then customize it to suit. The features unique to each one demonstrate the creativity and diversity of the designers in the open source community, and we finally see the possibility of a level playing field between WordPress.com bloggers and WordPress.org bloggers when it comes to theme selection.
Thanks so much for meeting and exceeding our expectations. And, thumbs up for including the Featured Image section in the support documentation.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
It’s a beauty! Each time a new theme comes out, I waiver in my fidelity to my current theme of choice. I’m a sucker for custom headers, though, so this one might not be perfect for me…
May 6th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Ah! But Bueno does use the custom header option! The default setting is to have no header image, though. You can change that by uploading a new image on the Header page under the Appearance menu.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
This theme is so cute, I love it! I just applied it to the blog I have up. I love all of the options.
Thank you, Theme Team!
May 6th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Love it. I’ve already changed!
May 6th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Wooow … so cool.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
WooThemes is my favorite. Thank you. I hope there will be more WooThemes in WordPress.com.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Amazing. This one looks special.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
Really nice!
May 6th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
This looks pretty darn cool. Thanks!
May 6th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
Stop adding so many cool themes. I’m always changing them.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
This is really, really, really, very nice … with so many different color schemes too!
Thanks a lot!! Thumbs up!!!
May 6th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Nice theme. But the content column is too narrow for me.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
It’s perfect!
May 6th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
This is a stunning range of intelligent themes. Credits to all involved. Just off to try the new kid on the block.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
This one is nice but I’m more into white and gray. Very simple, no background, and minimal (since I post A LOT of pictures) but with the right composition for a blog.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
Nice! a lot of new ones lately. Keep up the good work! Thanks.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
COOL! I love this one!!! Now I have too many themes I would like to try out.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
I like it. But I’m lazy. I need to find the perfect day for change.
Is there the Bippity Boppity Boo change option?
May 6th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
No, but there is the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious theme previewer that lets you check out how your blog will look with a different theme.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
This is a really good new template. It has a lot of the characteristics I’ve been looking for.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
Another great theme.
I love the style of it and the fact that it allows custom headers.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
Muy Bueno new theme! I like that it has several featured posts on the side. I also like the lighter back ground. I know black is popular but find it hard to read without my glasses. Fearless fly. I’m helpless without my glasses,
May 6th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Good! I will click on the magic wand … oops … on the previewer!
May 6th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Awesome Theme! hope you guys can make some dark themes.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Guys.. there are few bloggers like me who use words more than images. Please consider.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
Never seen a decent theme since I’ve been registered here. Will you guys ever make something worthy of attention?
May 6th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
We’d love to hear your theme suggestions in our ideas forum, Serg. Let us know what grabs your attention!
May 6th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
It seems interesting.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Handsome looking! I’m giving it a try to see it it works for me or not!:) Booyaaaa
May 6th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
NICE!!! Couldn’t be any better! Just the theme I’ve wanted on WordPress for sooo long. Thanks!
May 6th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Responding to Shaikul Akbar N:
It doesn’t matter how nifty the blog theme is, if you’ve got no content.
I’ve found that you can do a lot just with a few HTML widgets. Also, people should check out their theme options under Appearance in the control panel. Finally, if you’re willing to pay for your blog, tweaking the CSS can really help your blog’s appearance.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Congrats on yet another theme. This one is adorable! I may consider using it.
Yay for the theme team!
May 6th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
I absolutely LOVE IT!!! And it’s all mine now!!
May 6th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
What I really need is a simple, plain, modest, GALLERY for fine art prints. IS THERE a theme that has that, and is customizable so I can leave out most of the “really cool” gobbledegook?
May 6th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Oh wow. Installing right away.
May 6th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
I think its a nice theme, Congrats!
May 6th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Woah. I love this theme. Changing NOW.
May 6th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
This theme is AWESOME. Keep up the good work of givin’ new themes … but also give some new widgets … it will help more than a theme.
May 6th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
The efforts at WordPress to give more and more options are well appreciated. You guys are giving so so many options and all for free. The present theme is also good, more so for a blog having multiple contributors. The only irritant is the background.
May 6th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
Perfect! I’ll use it this whole summer!!!!
May 6th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
I love this one, I love this one, I love this one … except for “Chunky.” Seriously, this is so close to my perfect theme except for “Chunky” which is gross in my world. The titles in my nav bar won’t fit on one line because…it’s too chunky. Oh well, I am still going to play with it just in case I can eventually adapt to chunky. I hope it has an archive template … that’s so useful and important.
Here’s a suggestion. The wonderful WordPress team is coming out with so many cool new themes with more customization options. How about some options for Font customization. Even if we can’t have a whole font palette, how about two? One serif, one non serif for example.
Gosh if there were only a way to go No chunky, I would be a happy monkey.
Thanks again theme team, you are awesome.
May 6th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
I want a new photo theme!
May 6th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
I love it, changed my blog over right away! I would like to see a few more themes that are wider than 600 pixels, though. 1024 is the default screen size now, right?
May 6th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
Also, can you only have five featured posts?
May 6th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
That is correct. The Bueno Featured Posts widget shows your five most recent posts in the tag of your choice.
May 6th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
Please, please, please do something similar with THREE columns! Thanks.
