Hello,

I’m trying to get my Tumblr theme accepted, but they keep reject it because the it looks to much like the free Tumblr themes. :(

I’ve changed it and changed it, but it’s still not good enough, so I would like to get some ideas from you guys and girls.

The colors can be changed from the customize screen on Tumblr.

There’s a link in the sidebar to a version with a slide-in sidebar and one with a menu.

I really like it! don`t know why it got rejected, what does the reviewer messages says? maybe your theme leaks on the documentation!

It’s too similar to the default themes that are available for free from the Tumblr site.

That pink font on that gray striped background literally caused pain in my eyes, probably in the reviewer’s eyes too. In fact, the striped background is causing pain itself. I also don’t think the green arrow icons mix up well with the pink in terms of color scheme. :)

And maybe create original icons for different posts.

Thanks for the feedback! You’re properly right – it’s ugly with a striped grey background and pink text.

Just think that I’m going to give this theme away for free and hope my upcoming WordPress theme and the Tumblr theme I have in my mind will be better.
