Of course! 🙂
A sidebar is merely a feature, not a requirement.
Sweet thanks! Then i guess i will start working on a new theme for here 😛
And… i know its diferent question in the same topic, but in dont want to flood it too much so here it is:
Are there some limitations on the “third party” code i can use in the theme? Licensing is covered thought … i mean for options settings. There are many systems that take care of that so i dont have to write it all on my own. Any suggestions on that?
I just want to know how overall the things work with the theme rights on what is alowed to be used and what not. If there is some official article on that i would love to see it, but i didnt found any.
Thanks

To be included in the official WordPress Theme Directory, your theme needs to be licensed as GPL, which means that any third-party code you include needs to be licensed under GPL as well or a GPL-compatible license: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses
With that said, if you don’t want to be included in the directory, you could release the theme yourself under whichever license works for you, but you would still need to make sure that any third-party code you include is compatible with your chosen license.
Huge thanks, this answers all my questions! Thanks and have a nice day!
