As I write this, my Checkmate Theme has 800 downloads and so far the feedback I’ve gotten on it has been great. The theme is and has been used on large sites and been successful and for the most part error free.
I think Checkmate is a great theme and I want to build on its frame and use what I’ve learned to improve it. I want to update the look of Checkmate and add some more functionality to the theme. This is where all you users come in.
I want to know what the people that are interested in Checkmate want out of the theme’s next version. What do you want to be able to customize? More custom widgets? More theme options? Let me know what features you would like to see Checkmate have!

Also, as mentioned in some comments – possibility to put an image in the top header.
Integrated page navigation would be also great.
Can’t wait to see the new version ;)

I agree with the ability to put an image in the header instead of the blog name.
How about split columns? One left and one right?
Maybe make the separation between the meta-data on the left of each post and the post itself more defined?

Good suggestions! Keep them up.
I received another suggestion to upgrade the news widget. I think I will allow people to choose the category and an option to exclude it from the index and create more than just one. I need to put he idea here so I don’t forget ;)
