New Theme: iNove
iNove by mg12 is one of the top themes used for self-hosted WordPress blogs, and a commonly requested addition to our offerings here on WordPress.com. We’re always doing what we can to bring you the cool new stuff you want, so now you’ve got it, too! iNove for WordPress.com:
Some handy features of this theme:
- Display pages or categories in the menu below your header.
- Display your page hierarchy in your menu on hover.
- Options to show a notice, banner, and special showcase widget to registered users, visitors, or commentators. You control your message.
- The ability to hide and show authors, categories, and tags on posts.
- Remove your sidebar with a single click.
You’ll find all of these settings under Appearance > Current Theme Options in your dashboard after you’ve activated iNove.
To do that, go to Appearance > Themes in your dashboard, find iNove (they’re in alpha order), and click Preview to see how it will look on your blog. If you dig it, click Activate and it’s yours.
This one not quite for you? Keep an eye on the news blog for more themes, coming soon

I just had a look at the WordPress.com themes. If you filter by popularity, the first 9, as well as # 11, 13 and 15, are all themes with custom headers. Considering there ARE only 28 themes available with custom headers, it looks to me like people want more! Another hint.
August 14th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
There’s any way to remove the standard widget that comes with it? Like Meta, Categories and Archives? I’m talking about the blogs hosted in wodpress, not the self-hosteds.
Thanks.

To clear out the default widgets, add a blank text widget under Appearance > Widgets. This will eliminate the ones that are there so you can start fresh
August 14th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
I know Custom Header is not an option, but, and I don’t know much about the programming involved, can it be added to the official theme?
What’d it take?
August 14th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
We hear ya, and we’ll definitely consider adding it in the future.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
I don’t like it so much, but I’ll try
August 14th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
hey the option for side bar is missing??
before there are for sidebar for widget
north, east, etc…
now it’s missing, why?
September 14th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
There’s now one default sidebar on iNove.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Just activated it and it looks nice, but I agree with some of the other comments. A custom header option would be nice.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
Loved it! I’m already using it and I’ll wait for more themes. You rock, guys!
August 14th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I loved it with all 4 sidebars, but for some reason, I don’t have them now!
Is there a way we can pick which ones are active for those who liked having them?
August 14th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
what the f…?? why do you kill the great options in the sidebar??? now it’s a boring huge block, while before i was able to style it the way i wanted with one and two columns exactly WHERE i wanted them to be! that was a FIRST on wordpress.com, and you kill it! that’s a shame, really. i was so happy with the theme, but now it lost a huge part of it’s appeal
August 17th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
You can enable and disable widgets in one click. That screenshot happens to show them disabled. No worries, all the functionality is there
August 14th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
It took me three hours yesterday to get the sidebars as I wanted them, having multiple sidebars was the reason I swapped Themes in the first place – and now it’s all gone!
You can hardly call it an “Upgrade” when you reduce a really innovative theme to just a normal Blog template….. it’s more of a Downgrade, really!
August 14th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
What happened to the south, east and west side bars that were there yesterday? I noticed mine were gone today, and had to move the widgets that were in them–Categories, Archives and Calendar–to the one sidebar left (formally known as north). http://mattamesblogs.wordpress.com. P.S. I’m loving this theme! Great work!
August 15th, 2009 at 12:59 am
Very good one, nice work!
PS: There will be more themes with fluid width in the future? I love that kind of designs that fits in every computer.
Thanks
August 15th, 2009 at 6:15 am
great addition, thanks
August 15th, 2009 at 7:11 am
i had a hard time customizing my page as i am just getting started here, i like this new one though..
August 15th, 2009 at 7:56 am
I’ll try it first. Thanks WordPress.com!
August 15th, 2009 at 8:41 am
hello,
I think I’m a bit of out of date concerning the discovering of new added themes, but when i checked yesterday and found the inove theme I was very glad to test it. although its header can not be customized, I’m gonna adopt it. Thank you to bring more themes.
August 15th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Bring it. But I am lazy and looking 4 the one click custom bad a** header. And a photo type that let’s one combine blog and pics that is not a straight up setup for just photo display. My motto I’ll know it when I see it.
Heloise
August 15th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Themes made by Justin Tadlock are awesome! I wish you’d add them on the list.
August 15th, 2009 at 11:40 am
East, West and South sidebars are gone. :-/
August 15th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Coooool…….!!!
August 15th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
OMG! Exclusive looks!
August 15th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
HI! I am a new member of wordpress. I know a little about theme decorating, however your theme looks very nice and clean.
August 15th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
I wish the “handy features” were available for all themes.
August 15th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
I’ve started to use this theme @ http://conservationreport.com/. However, some of the formatting is somewhat off between blog posts on my main page. Is this an issue with my formatting, or is this an issue with the template itself that will be resolved in the future? Many thanks!!! And WordPress rocks!!!
August 15th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Pretty cool!
I love this theme and i´m using it in one blog hosted outside WordPress.com.
Now i can use it here too.!
greetings from Brazil
August 15th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
thanks about information…
theme is very good…
August 15th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Great theme. I agree with the custom header post.
August 15th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
nice ill post it on my clubpengui site and try it
August 15th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
I am not interested in, I like the theme what I have on my page bylinky
August 15th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Nice and simple style… but we need more customisation. That’s the way to go for all themes!
August 15th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
I think I will try it out first. I like the tree, it looks so fresh and airy!
August 15th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
The new theme rock! Thanks WordPress
August 15th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
I like the theme, and would use it, but I’m not inclined to pay for custom CSS just to remove the RSS button, which while perhaps of value to some, is a bit problematic for those of us using Feedburner or other outside sources that are more customizable than the built-in solution.
August 16th, 2009 at 12:26 am
great. but what i really like is what the homepage for wordpress is at the moment while you are under construction. you know all the boxes with the little pictures. i reckon thats cool, and i’d totally change theme to it.
August 16th, 2009 at 3:19 am
Another favorite theme from WordPress.org. Cool!
August 16th, 2009 at 4:10 am
AWESOME THEME I WANT THE THEME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 16th, 2009 at 4:53 am
Love it, but please bring back the NSEW sidebars.
August 16th, 2009 at 6:21 am
Nice theme. I activated it. Since customer header is not an option, can you please at least give an option of choice of color at the top. I don’t particularly like black
August 16th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Great! I love to try it sometime
August 16th, 2009 at 10:24 am
That looks Awsome gonna try it right now and i’ll use some of that picrute (that tree) on the start page
.
August 16th, 2009 at 12:20 pm

August 16th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Nicefull themes. I like it and now I’m used it.
Thank you Heather.
August 16th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Wow! Really nice neat theme. I just switched..
One small problem tho.
Don’t know if this is affecting anyone else, but unless my tags fill up a whole line, the title for my next post just kind of runs on straight after the tag words from the last one, on the same line.
August 17th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
We recently made changes that should solve this problem. If you encounter any issues, please contact Support.
August 16th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
thanks for the new theme…im using it… more themes please… thanks.
August 16th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
i keep trying for the theme…
thank yous
August 16th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
gr8 theme top of my favorites!!
=)
thanx wp
August 16th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
I lov themes!
August 16th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Still waiting for the thesis theme to become a premium option…
August 16th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
I’m using this theme. And tried to make Categories as menu, but the sub categories are not shown properly as menu item. Pages and sub pages are working fine.
August 17th, 2009 at 1:08 am
More themes always it is good news !
I´m using this theme and I changed the options to show the categories in the top menu, but I´m having some problems with differents resolutions. When the category has subcategories the submenu show up too far so I can´t click it. This occurs when I´m using a resolution of 1280×800, but with a resolution of 1024×768 it works, but not very well, it is possible to click on the submenu but it is really hard.
I hope you fix it because iNove is a wonderful theme.
August 17th, 2009 at 1:46 am
Wow I can’t wait to try it. =)
August 17th, 2009 at 1:57 am
thank’s it’s look like luxurious template wordpress blog
August 17th, 2009 at 3:45 am
Whoa beautiful! I love it!
August 17th, 2009 at 4:54 am
cool theme, will try it right away !!!!
August 17th, 2009 at 7:49 am
pages list looks like breadcrumbs. not good.
August 17th, 2009 at 10:03 am
I love it and have switched both of my blogs to it. I’m especially happy with the banner option and can’t wait to use the notice option. Thank you very much for the best WP.com theme sofar!
August 17th, 2009 at 10:16 am
This will satiate my hunger for new themes for a while.
August 17th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
this is nice, very clean!
August 17th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
I have been searching for a good theme and I think I finally found it. The arrows at the top are especially original and this is by far the most customizable theme, although I wish I could choose colors/header. I had no idea it was new though.
August 18th, 2009 at 1:45 am
,,,,,,,,,,,O_e AWSEOM!
August 18th, 2009 at 1:47 am
Nice work on the theme.
August 18th, 2009 at 3:11 am
Very nice handy work. Clean and Crisp.
August 18th, 2009 at 4:23 am
The theme looks great. However when the syntax highlighter plugin is used along with this theme, the code posted in the blog does not align well in all browsers. In some browsers (Opera) the line numbers take too much space and in others (Chrome) the end regions of the code box is grayed out. Can you fix this ?
Syntax highlighter can be found here -> http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/
Switching to a different theme causes the syntax highlighter to work as usual
August 18th, 2009 at 5:52 am
I like it. But when I previewed it, it made all titles of subsequent posts start right at the end of the last post, like it was the next sentence. Fix this and t will be golden.
August 18th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Nice theme… But I already falling in love with Chris Pearson Theme
August 18th, 2009 at 10:53 am
HEHE!!!! I Cant wait!!!!!! ANYMORE!!! LOL
Captivate
August 18th, 2009 at 11:32 am
lets have more themes !!!!!
August 18th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
I like it but i don’t. I envisioned it to be darker for some reason.
August 18th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
vary cool, I am using it now!
August 18th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Very cool!
August 18th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Cool, I like it
August 18th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Nice! Though I haven’t used the theme yet it is an attractive option as I look towards a change.
I liked possibilities with the four sidebars and would like to see them back. They’ll almost disappear by adding a text widget with a single space in the title. But that’s not why I’m commenting…
… having the date on content is usually helpful but it’s not necessarily ideal to have it on pages as well as posts. I might work out how to hide it with css but a radio button somewhere would be easier!
Thanks.
August 19th, 2009 at 1:54 am
I LOVE this!
Thank you for continuing to give all of us new themes to try out
August 19th, 2009 at 7:13 am
Interesting. Although I only drool over themes with custom headers.
August 19th, 2009 at 8:53 am
interesting to try
August 19th, 2009 at 9:09 am
wow !! owasome
August 19th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I like it, and I needed a change. Thank you!
August 19th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
i like it, but would like to keep my custom header.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
You guys offer so much to us freeloaders…I’m starting to feel guilty….
August 20th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Nice theme and thanks for sharing…it looks kinda appleish.
August 20th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Wow…very, very nice! Thx wp.
August 20th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
CooL thank u
August 20th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
nice theme i’d say..but still im waiting for a header costumized themes
headers speak up for creativity and can interest readers in exploring the site ;_;
August 21st, 2009 at 12:57 am
real nice
August 21st, 2009 at 3:00 am
I really love this theme
August 21st, 2009 at 4:09 am
Anyway to make this theme have 2 columns on the right side instead of one?
August 21st, 2009 at 4:49 am
Nice! But I still love Tarski. What I am looking for is dominant luxurious white in three columns and customizable header.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:18 am
nice…i would try it
August 21st, 2009 at 8:10 am
Thank you for your suggestion but it looks boring to me
August 21st, 2009 at 10:51 am
If possible use tahoma font in sidebar and comment list because this is best font for Persian language . and remove feed icon on top of side bar because now most users use the feedburner and they want to use one icon for feed blog.
thank you
