New Theme: Vostok
Vostok is an elegant one-column theme sporting a dark background and light text that is readable and easy on the eyes. The minimal layout is perfect for publishing your personal lifestream in a clutter-free layout.
Vostok's layout is simple and clutter-free.
Options include a custom header image, custom background image and color, and a full navigation menu in the header. For a completely steamlined look—and to put the focus completely on your content—both the header image and header navigation menu are hidden unless you choose to display them.
Example display using a custom image header and full navigation menu in the header.
Two columns at the bottom of the page are ready for all your widgets, and a full page navigation menu is always visible in the footer.
Two-column widget area below the main content.
The Vostok theme is now available for your WordPress.com blog and, for self-hosted WordPress.org blogs, from vostoktheme.com.

Sorry. I’d still prefer a Blogger style template designer than themes with options. I can never get the options to change the things that I want to change, like fonts, type size, number of footer widgets, colours…
I find many of these new themes have text that is too small for me. Twenty Ten is better but lacks the options to make it look as I want.
You need to create a Blogger/Squarespace type dashboard area where I can set the template to look as I want it. A couple of options simply doesn’t offer sufficient choice.

You should try a theme with more options and let us choose among them the ones that fit our interests. Don’t split the features between themes with strange names when what some of us need are a piece of every template available so far. Kind of a Frankenstein, but we have the right to make it. Give us full control!
