We’re happy to introduce two brand new free themes today!
Minnow
Designed by Mel Choyce, Minnow is a light, simple theme that puts your social presence front and center. A social links menu is displayed prominently below the site title and logo, so readers can easily find you on your favorite social networks.
When activated, the optional Custom Menu or Widget area appear in a slide-out sidebar, making secondary content accessible while keeping the focus on your content.
Learn more about the free Minnow theme at the Theme Showcase, or preview it by going to Appearance → Themes.
Cols
This theme is designed by yours truly: Cols is a novel theme that lets you tell your stories without the layout getting in the way.
Standard-format posts are displayed in a newspaper-like layout, with three columns on large monitors, two columns on medium-sized displays, and a one-column layout on small screens like phones. Other supported post formats — Aside, Image, Video, Quote, Link, and Chat — are displayed in a simple single-column layout.

While I don’t think either of these themes are right for me, I do like their simple and clean look, especially with Minnow. Nice additions! :)

Minnow without header is like car without wheels…
Cols is hard to read and doesen’t support Gallery post format
All new themes are with important missing functions. Probably to sell premium themes. Instead of 300 buggy free themes made 1-2 but perfect with all functions – all post formats, flexible header, colors and so on…

Cols is the ideal theme for longform posts. Since I write both short and long texts, but mainly short ones (that look unsightly in a multi-column layout), it would be nice to have two types of standard formats: single-column and multi-column. However, a great theme!

Cols works extremely well with longterm articles but can get a bit messy when it comes to multiple gallery posts. Nice work!

These look great. However, I wonder if there will be any more Halloween themed sites coming up soon?

Both are good. But, Minnow is kind of awesome.
