Theme Viewer
We know you love themes and we know you like to try new ones. With our new super-charged theme viewer this is now even easier than before.
The new theme viewer lets you quickly step through themes without reloading the page. You can search for specific words (for example, ‘orange’), and you can filter by requirements (for example, ‘two columns’).
Still not sure what to pick? The random feature will select 15 themes at random, which may help jog your inspiration. Want to pick something that few others are using? You can also view themes in order of their popularity. Join in with everyone else or be independent, the choice is a few clicks away.
Still can’t find a theme to your liking? Don’t forget our Sandbox theme. It’s a simple and clean theme that is designed to be used with the CSS upgrade to give you control over how your blog looks (check out this site for Sandbox examples). If you’re not too sure about using CSS then our recently introduced CSS revisions feature will give you the reassurance that if something goes wrong you can quickly jump back to an earlier version.
If you haven’t changed your theme in a while then give the new theme viewer a try – you may discover a whole new look!
Full details about the theme viewer can be found on the theme viewer support page.

Perfect, without reloading the page, faster and easier.
I like it.
Oct 5th at 3:41 pm
Cool. Will give this a try right away!
Oct 5th at 3:44 pm
I love the “preview” option. I wasn’t sure which one to get so I just browsed around using the random option to try on random themes. Out of a thumbnail, the theme I have right now wouldn’t have been my first choice at all but seeing it live really helped a lot!

I really like my theme — Vigilance by Jestro — so am not inclined to want to change at this time. But, I still like to look at the new themes. Each one has good things about it. It’s nice to be able to check them out more easily. Thank you.
The one thing I would like to adjust in my theme is how a visitor has to do a lot of clicking if they are trying to check through the archives. It’s like trying to find one’s way through a maze when blindfolded. I wish that clicking on the archive button would just give all the titles for at least a month’s worth of posts, and the visitor can just click on a title they are interested in. Seeing everything at a glance is better than seeing only one item at a time and having to make a few clicks to get to that one post.

Much appreciated
BTW, I think most people would prefer if the default were “A-Z” and not “Random”.
Oct 5th at 5:37 pm
Very awesome! Good call and keep it up!
Oct 5th at 5:39 pm
Thanks for the great work
I would swear that I tried it yesterday…
Oct 5th at 5:43 pm
Something that doesn’t reload the page is always nice. Between, there’s a little problem of line up in the italian version: it’s under the the voice Column.
Thank you for the update of Theme Viewer.
Oct 5th at 5:51 pm
great…! thanks.. try it nooowww….
Oct 5th at 5:53 pm
awesome, guys, I just changed my design after that.
Oct 5th at 5:54 pm
sounds good. though i like the theme i have right now.
Oct 5th at 6:13 pm
Interesting feature, thanks.
Oct 5th at 6:28 pm
Awesome! I’m gonna look for a new theme right now
Oct 5th at 6:46 pm
Haven’t started blogging yet – but I’m quite happy with DePo Square. Looking forward to a Dark simple theme…
Oct 5th at 6:54 pm
Hey wanna try it out right away, but am comfortable wit wat i already have…
Oct 5th at 7:08 pm
I love viewing themes from time to time… this is great!
Oct 5th at 7:39 pm
Cool Feature This.
I wonder whether we can have this on the blog homepage itself…you know, a widget with 3-4 themes that the readers (Yes, the readers, not the blog owner) can click and select the theme they like best to view the site in.
Oct 5th at 7:44 pm
Wow, I’m going to take a look at them now.
Oct 5th at 8:31 pm
This is a good idea. I’m pretty happy with the theme I’m using now, but this is a much easier way for me to try one on for size. Thanks WordPress.
Oct 5th at 9:44 pm
good. More themes would be nicer. Also allowing customize themes would be quite normal (blogger and others allow it) . Can’t see reasons to not allow javascript or upgrade and mess up with themes.
Oct 5th at 10:18 pm
woow . .. thats helping a lot , thks
Oct 5th at 10:49 pm
wow im going to take a look at that now…
Oct 5th at 11:02 pm
I’ve tried it a second ago and I think it will be very useful!!!
Oct 5th at 11:02 pm
I LIKE IT. Thanks
Oct 5th at 11:03 pm
Nice. “We” need more themes tho =)
Oct 6th at 12:00 am
I appreciate this useful feature. Thanks for creating it.
Oct 6th at 12:03 am
interesting thanks
while i have your ear would love to see some themes around 2 column text layouts
by that i mean the traditional layout one finds in a magazine or academic journal
would be a nice addition
cheers
Oct 6th at 1:45 am
thanks for improvement. It’s easier now to pick new theme
Oct 6th at 2:36 am
this is simply great! thank you! i <3 WP!
Oct 6th at 2:54 am
Cool, and for make it better, please give us more magazine style themes
Oct 6th at 4:59 am
tnx
Oct 6th at 6:16 am
great work, need some more great themes
thanks
Oct 6th at 6:18 am
thank you… ^^
Oct 6th at 6:38 am
Super cool WP, keep up the great work!
Oct 6th at 7:35 am
Yep, nice. But you lack a variable width theme with custom header (IOW a bitmap) and custom colors.
Oct 6th at 8:24 am
thank you
Oct 6th at 9:08 am
Great work…
Thanks..
Oct 6th at 9:48 am
Nice! This would really help out!
Oct 6th at 10:20 am
we wait new cool themes
Oct 6th at 10:46 am
great themes…love it !
^_^v
Oct 6th at 11:05 am
Actually, I would’ve loved it if there were new themes introduced to wordpress hosted blogs.
Oct 6th at 11:05 am
cool, but there should be more themes. or even ability to install themes if we pay for custom css
Oct 6th at 11:44 am
USeful
Oct 6th at 12:50 pm
Yes…finally!
Now, just make a mobile version and we may have something going on with WordPress…!
Oct 6th at 1:18 pm
Wp is the best….
Oct 6th at 4:04 pm
Thanks
Oct 6th at 5:39 pm
yup its good…but then how about some new three column themes?
Oct 6th at 5:58 pm
thank…4 all….
Oct 6th at 6:21 pm
Now all we need is for there to be a way to search themes similar to the one you currently use
Oct 6th at 6:26 pm
A good news. I have a brand new blog and I am still not satisfied with the current theme. I am still working on Photoshop for it but sure about the CSS…..
Oct 6th at 8:38 pm
A sensible progression. Good call!
Oct 6th at 8:45 pm
Thanks for the feature – suggestion though…most of your free themes are very business like and serious. How about offering themes that are whimsical, feminine, floral, nature-related, etc. and all with customized headers so we can have our own personal touch.
Oct 6th at 9:15 pm
Thanks for this new feature; I did some browsing of themes using the viewer and discovered I am inclined toward a few other themes I hadn’t considered before. I’m satisfied with my current theme, but this new feature made me aware of a couple very nice alternatives.
Oct 6th at 9:31 pm
thts really cooL thing
I’ll try it later 
Oct 6th at 10:57 pm
Big Dave likes.
Oct 6th at 11:56 pm

Oct 7th at 4:44 am

Oct 7th at 4:49 am
it’ nice..
Oct 7th at 6:46 am
I really like the first one (i mean the first one on that photo – black!). Thanks for making wordpress better for us!
Oct 7th at 8:35 am
These type of options are always helpful.
Oct 7th at 8:50 am
great…just knew it, while selecting theme
Oct 7th at 9:09 am
It’s a great new addition, though it’d be better if the default view were A-Z. Think most everybody would like that.
Oct 7th at 12:02 pm
Great Update, Best for set service
Oct 7th at 2:50 pm
I agree with Arijit. I would prefer the default being A-Z. But it’s still a good improvement so far!
Oct 7th at 3:40 pm
Very good!
Oct 7th at 4:59 pm
Thanks guys! =D
Oct 7th at 5:33 pm
rock on !!
Oct 7th at 8:49 pm
thanks for thinking on us and keep adding nice features like this!
Oct 7th at 9:23 pm

Oct 7th at 10:51 pm
Never thought of that idea!
Thanks! It will help me search a new fresh theme!
Oct 8th at 1:52 am

Oct 13th at 1:16 pm
I hope I don’t lose any formatting from my existing blog when I try out a new theme?
Oct 19th at 1:26 am
You can easily switch back and forth from one theme to another.
Oct 13th at 1:27 pm
The theme viewer is great. Thanks a lot
Oct 13th at 1:36 pm
Excellent Idea and usage.
