I would like to put my top 3 or 5 suggestions and let other either tell me, DUH you can already do that and teach me how, or perhaps you might find it of value to add the feature in the future.
1. Header customization:
a. It would be great to have better control on where a logo / custom icon / add banner is placed in the header area. Currently if you change the foreground image area you have to click over to customizable sizes tab and then choose to add more px's than the default 55 to proper place the image.
ai. I would suggest the header should have two areas of customization that can ultimately put images and other content to anywhere in the header (this would be instead of calling it foreground and background (although I understand why you have it set up that way). For example. Lets say I want to have a custom logo on the left, a banner for AdSense or something else in the middle and a follow me on twitter, FB, etc on the right side of the header.
For this to happen I am not thinking of my objects as background image and foreground image. Don't get me wrong, if I want a background color i.e. blue or a background image that is just a web background repeating image the background functionality is great and should be kept but to add the other parts of my header I would need further options to do this. So more options and links to the objects and further customization would be great.
2. Images for the menu/page tabs instead of a gradient .
a. As an idea it would be nice to give a png file and a hover png file to replace the standard tab settings. This would allow people to really get the customization to their sites their looking for. I would love to hep and make a few of these png files if given the specifications
2b. Or at least a rounding for the menu/page tabs
3. Images for the widgets tabs/menus that are on widgets
Again, a main image and a hover image would be awesome to upload and use.
3b. Or at least rounding of the gradient for the widget tabs.
4. An upload folder for all images that are requested.
I guess it is not a big deal to use a path but a place to upload images would be a nice feature.
4a. Again, as an idea, don't know if it can be done, when asking for the image i.e. header logo1 image there would be an upload your file feature that would upload to a folder on your sites root and the image would be pointed to that location. Keeping it organized and easy to access.
5. An entrance page,
almost like a "gallery theme" or a 404 page but instead of getting the page error this would be the "home" page when people come to your site. Could give your logo and incoming message to enter your blog. Would be like opening a book. Just an idea.
6. The faded out / blurred effect for portions of post's as seen on MSNBC's blog's and wordpress's home page.
6a. This would be truly amazing and I don't even know how to begin to do this but if you could add the blur effect (honestly I don't know what it is called truly) so that when the majority of the post is hidden and a person can see it faded/blurred away and a "click here" to see the remainder of the post. That would be some serious 6 star rating for your theme. and or is this already a plugin that someone knows about?
Please let me know what everyone thinks and if any of my suggestion can be done now.
