Theme Preview
I know you want to check out some of those new themes on WordPress.com to see just how much they might make your blog shine, but you don’t want to activate any for fear your readers will get on your case about switching themes all the time.
… You have really obnoxious readers, don’t you? 
Well no need to worry any longer. You can now preview any WordPress.com theme from your blog’s Presentation admin screen just by clicking on the theme’s thumbnail. Your blog will load on the fly using the new theme without actually activating that theme for realies. Even better, you can click around most anywhere in your blog to see how your posts, pages, categories and everything else look.
Kinda fun, huh? Go nuts.

Aug 15th at 11:33 pm
I just tried it! Fun new feature! Thanks!
Aug 15th at 11:33 pm
Oh man, I was wondering when something like this would be enabled…just about any other theme-enabled thing on a PC has this ability.
Works great, too!
Aug 15th at 11:39 pm
Yeah, me like!
Aug 15th at 11:40 pm
Muy bueno!
Aug 15th at 11:42 pm
That was the most needed feature. Thumbs up!
Aug 15th at 11:45 pm
Sounds good!

Wow! That was fun!

No more frills in switching theme anymore. That’s what I am expecting from wordpress. Cool!
Aug 16th at 12:20 am
I’ve been wanting this for a long time, but never asked. I’m glad someone did – or staff figured it out on their own, being the kind and giving bunch they are!
Thanks big-time!
Aug 16th at 12:24 am
This is a most excellent feature. Thanks.
Aug 16th at 12:25 am

Excellent! Ive been thinking about this for ages
Aug 16th at 12:40 am
Thanks – there’ve been so many times when I accidentally deleted my theme and customizations by trying to preview, or by just clicking in the wrong spot on the ‘presentation’ page.
Aug 16th at 12:42 am
BOOYAH
Aug 16th at 12:50 am

Aug 16th at 12:56 am
good news, especially given concerns about whether widgets and CSS will be messed up by experimenting with different themes
Aug 16th at 12:56 am
As Mr. Burns would say … excellent.
Aug 16th at 12:58 am
oh yay, I have wanted this feature. Thanks, WP.

There you go! I like that. I know sometimes a reader will click on one entry and the theme is one way then click back to the homepage and its a different theme because I’m playing around with it. I really like this new feature.

This is one feature which WP lacked and for this reason i prevented myself from checking out different themes coz i have a fully loaded widgets in present theme.
Another Request to theme team :
Can we have more tripaned themes plzzzzz
Aug 16th at 7:46 am
Just setting up some new blogs – great feature. Marvelous.
Aug 16th at 7:46 am
So I don’t have to try out new themes in the middle of the night and hope no one Down Under is paying attention? Sweet! Thanks
Aug 16th at 8:11 am
