Regarding design #6
hi, this is not the quality of design that I can sell on my website. Nevertheless I'll give you some pointers to improve your style. I'm not saying Im a better designer that you or anything but I've done my share of design work and I've coded dozens of designs so I do know what I'm talking about :)
1. for a theme that is going to be distributed to many website you must use webfonts in the navigation (like arial/verdana/tahoma etc.)
2.The 2 blue gradients don't match, they are different hues alltogether (as in Hue/Saturation/Luminance).
3. The outline on the search box is too thick. If you're using photoshop try making a stroke on a layer and reducing it's transparency. You can get an even more subtle outline if you add the layer effect "outer glow", set its layer mode to "multiply", it's color to black, and the size and spread at around 2px :)
I would not advise you to carry on working on this design.
