New Theme: Bueno
May 6, 2010
Bueno is a stylish and fun theme featuring a custom header, custom background, and multiple fresh color schemes.
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.

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.
LikeLike
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.

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.

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.

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…
LikeLike
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.

Aloha Theme Teamers. I have to say I keep looking as your new themes unroll. There are some great features in each. I’m still on Twenty Ten although tempted to try others and will keep looking as you roll them out. As a newbie to WP I continue to be impressed with your effort, spirit, attitude, and philosophy. Heck, I haven’t even had time to tweak Twenty Ten in ways I’d like to try. Bwahahaha—fine tweaking on! Thank you, Aloha.

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.

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.

OK – I am trying this one out. I think overall it is very nice. I LOVE all of the many of the features and options.
1. I agree with Sandra Lee – the chunky type is simply TOO chunky. Because my blog title is longer than one word, all page links have been stacked on the side, which isn’t a problem as long as I could adjust the font size so they are not quite so “in your face” and conflicting with my title
[… what’s up with the little RSS page link not aligning? This disturbs my Feng Shui..].
2. I second Sandra Lee on giving us font options! Please! Please! Please!
Even if it is only for the Heading, Blog Title and Page Titles, that would be a great improvement. If you want to keep to the same font, then give us an option to choose font size of blog title, and perhaps “Standard”, “Bold” & “Italic”?
3. I love the “featured posts” widget, but is there a way to pick and choose our OWN collection, instead of based upon the tags?
Thanks again – keep up the great work
Keep up of all the great theme options coming.

If I didn’t already change my background, theme, and spend a zillion hours getting the Structured Theme the way I wanted (I even have a talking coffin…so weird, I know), I would go for this.
I like these themes that have custom backgrounds and headers. Good job. My header has a hand reaching out… so attention-grabbing (no pun intended…haha).
I can’t wait until we have widgets updates…I still want a clock so bad I can’t stand it. I have begged and begged, but ya’ll said no.

I really appreciate the frequent releases of new themes. They are all really cool and refreshing but i do noticed something though… they are all fixed-width since as far back as I can remember. Will there be flexible width coming along the way? I’m asking this because I like posting huge photos (at least 720 pixels wide) on my blog and fixed width are usually too narrow and cuts off which is a bummer because I really want to use most of the ones that were released recently). Anyway, looking forward to more!

Bueno is one of the better themes in the recent weeks but too much space wasted on the side bar – both in width and height, making the main content area to be more “restricted”. Images that is more than 450 pixel is cropped. Can the sizes (between sidebar and main content) be adjusted accordingly – at least to allow images with 500 pixels? After all, what is more important to the readers is the main content, not the side bar. Thanks
