    I'm in the process of building my first WordPress theme that will be released to the community. I was just looking for some input.

    The theme is called WP-GrungeStripe. It will have multiple colors available, but blue is the first.

    Quite nice!

    You can see the tiles in the white background (on the left).
    I don't really enjoy the top and bottom corners (header and footer) They seem like they're crashing, maybe if they where more "circled".
    The sidebar gray background, I think it's too dark or too simple.
    And i'm obsessive compulsive when it comes to design, so don't mind me so much ;)

    ub.fred, I agree that the sidebar is too simple. Do you think I should match the styling from the content side, except darker to differentiate it?

    maybe, maybe it could be.

    Just play, designing is playing, try some degradations of gray and a nice touch of blue, then do the opposite, put in some stripes and go 'round and 'round until you like it.

    That would be my best advice ;)
